James Murphy teams with Ron Howard for directorial debut

James Murphy recently talked with Rolling Stone about his upcoming directorial debut. This fall, the former LCD Soundsystem mastermind will begin working on a short film inspired by winning photo submissions of a Canon-sponsored contest. Film legend Ron Howard will act as Murphy's mentor, which is something the retired frontman considers "super weird". He went on to say: "I don't know what I'm doing, but that's what I'm excited about."

James also reconfirmed that he is working on a couple songs with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Hopefully more on that soon.
