New Green Day video to be huge, says director

The first video from Green Day's previously announced 8th studio album 21st Century Breakdown is set to air on April 24th. The video will be for first single "Know Your Enemy".

Speaking in an interview with MTV regarding the video, director Matthew Cullen (who has also made videos for Weezer, Beck, Modest Mouse, R.E.M and Velvet Revolver) commented:

Oh, this was definitely the biggest video I've ever done. It has a lot of really big visuals, because I was trying to match the song, which is huge. There's a lot of symbolism that I tried to mirror [in the shoot]. I took a lot of influence from Green Day's lyrics and the imagery of [street artist] Banksy. It may not sound like a lot, but it's huge visually. It's gonna be a new experience for a lot of their fans. I mean, it's still Green Day, but it's just bigger."

21st Century Breakdown is sheduled for release on May 15th
