Killers bassist Mark Stoermer told Rolling Stone the band chose Herzog for his unique ideas, and it seems the director is taking his role seriously.

"He has ideas for someone crowd-surfing with a camera on," Stoermer said. "He's gonna put cameras on Ronnie [Vannucci Jr.] while he's playing drums… I think there's gonna be an animal involved. I'm sure it will be all done the right way."
