ETA: The band posted that Rob is probably not doing a movie with Death Grips’ Zach Hill. Even on their article they’re not sure of what’s going on. Is this part of a “social experiment” as mentioned on the letter released by the band (posted below) to Pigeons and Planes and now denied to Pitchforks? Well we’ll wait and see.
From Pitchfork:
The band tells Pitchfork that none of this is true. There is no short film directed by Zach Hill and starring Robert Pattinson. They don’t know who sent the letter. But, this being Death Grips… who knows what’s going on.
ETA2: Colin Hanks spoke to Consequences of Sound and said he didn’t make a movie with the band.
From Consequences of Sound:
Hanks tells Consequence of Sound that news of him making a movie with Death Grips is untrue. So it definitely looks ilike we can chalk this one up as a hoax. Sorry, folks.
ETA 3: Pigeons and Planes posted an update to their post saying that someone claiming to be Death Grips’ management confirmed the letter, but the confirmation might be fake. So we’re back to wait and see…
From Pigeons and Planes
UPDATE: According to Pitchfork, the band has denied that any of this is true, but this may be all part of the plan. Someone claiming to be Death Grips’ management has confirmed the original letter with us, saying they are trying to keep this low key. But there is a chance that this confirmation is fake. Stay tuned.
ETA 4: Death Grips posted about the “letter” on their tumblr account. You can see the update by just checking the page, but if you follow them, you can see it on you Dashborard – posted yesterday.
Original post:
From Pigeons and Planes
Death Grips have been in the news lately for canceling dates and not showing up to scheduled concerts, but they’ve been productive during their time off. Today, they sent out a press release (sent “exclusively to 10 smaller websites”) to let people know what they’ve been up to, and in addition to starting a record label, they’ll be releasing books, artwork, and a film. The film is about underground prostitution, and in line with what Death Grips has been doing since day one, it sets out to shed light “in a shocking and abrasive way.” Read the full message below:
