Charlize Theron will be seen battling ninjas in the new video for Brandon Flowers’ debut single, Crossfire. With her fighter avatar, the Oscar-winning actress has indulged Australian director Nash Edgerton’s childhood fantasy by killing the black-clad bad guys in the video.
The special effects-packed video shows Flowers kidnapped by ninjas before Theron rescues the helpless singer from ‘The Killers’ with some steely swordsmanship. “When I was a kid I used to dress up as ninjas, so it was a way of getting that out of my system,” Stuff.co.nz quoted Edgerton as telling a foreign news agency.
“It’s about a relationship where one person is trying to get the other out of trouble, I wanted to do something around the idea of Brandon Flowers being saved. I was wondering who could possibly do this kind of thing to him and then it came to me … ninjas,” he added.
Theron agreed to take the lead role after confessing to being a big fan of ‘The Killers and Edgerton’s film ‘Spider’.
