OVERVIEW: In production since 2001, The Flaming Lips' eagerly anticipated 'Christmas On Mars' - A Fantastical Film Freakout featuring The Flaming Lips will be released on CD/DVD format on November 10th on Warner Bros Records / Cinema Purgatorio. Directed by front man Wayne Coyne alongside co-director George Salisbury (the band's audiovisual technician), many of the film's Mars sets were constructed in Coyne's back garden at his home in Oklahoma City. The film does indeed take place during Christmas time on Mars, as the colonisation of the Red Planet is underway. But when an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (The Lips' Steven Drozd) and his team (including the Lips' bassist Michael Ivins) fear for the worst. Syrtis hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts. Also appearing in the film are the band's road drummer Kliph Scurlock, manager Scott Booker, and many other familiar figures from The Lips' community.
