“I want to hold your hand”– Paul McCartney, circa 1963.
“I am being turned into a hologram, and I am going to enter the world of Destiny and its landscapes”–Sir Paul McCartney, circa 2015.
What a difference half century makes, huh? But when you are a timeless musician and already the biggest living rock star the world has ever known, the next step is to conquer new planets as a hologram. And this is exactly what Sir Paul did in has latest music video for many folks’ game-of-the-year contender, Destiny. In true Obi-Wan fashion, McCartney appears as a hologram/beacon of hope and light in the actual universe of the Bungie FPS as he sings the uplifting end sequence song, “Hope For The Future”, which was recorded with a 120-piece orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.
In the behind-the-scenes footage, we get to see Paul, charming as ever, step out of his car into Hollywood, and get right to the green screen where a crew turns the former Beatle into a futuristic ambassador of peace and rock n’ roll. He even got a chance to play the game, and though he admits he wasn’t very good, he enjoyed customizing his own female protagonist with a killer red mohawk. Very punk, Mr. McCartney. Very punk.
Once you’ve watched the making-of video above, be sure to listen to Sir Paul’s conversation with Chris, Jonah, and Matt over at the Nerdist Podcast!
Is it just me or does Paul look like an older version of Luke Skywalker when he’s the hologram?
Fantastic!
