icelandreview.com: US actor and musician Jared Leto paid Iceland a short visit on Tuesday before flying off to Greenland to record a video with his band 30 Seconds to Mars with the Icelandic film production company Arctic First.

“We will mostly shoot on icebergs and glaciers so it should be a very cool video,” Sigurbj?rn B?i Baldursson, who belongs to a 16-strong Arctic First production team, told Fr?ttabladid.

The video will be shot in the town Illulisat, famous for its icebergs, and Baldursson serves as assistant director to Leto, who is directing the video himself.

thanks to Kaitlyn for the info:

“The secret that Jared was keeping was that “a beautiful lie” is being taped in Greenland tomorrow and that it is going to be a completely green/enviornmentally safe video. Also for every download the money will go to an environmental charity. Brent Bolthouse said this in FMH and he’s going to be there to take pictures for a coffee table book which will also be released and the money will also go to the charity.”

showbiz.sky.com: Jared Leto is keeping a bit of goss to himself. He told Sky Showbiz he’s doing “something that’s never been done before”. Chatting to us at the Kerrang awards last night, Jared spilled some prequel beans…

He said to Sky Showbiz: “Right now I do have a very, very big secret.

“It has never been done before and we’re really, really excited. We have our fingers crossed.”

He did tell us: “It’s hard-core entertainment. A week from now we will release some very, very exciting information.

“This is like the announcement to the announcement. I wish I could tell you guys, but unfortunately I’m under a gag order until next week.”
