Christina Hendricks is to play android in a new Sci-Fi music video. She is going back to her Firefly roots and starring in a Broken Bells music video, The Ghost Inside, as an android.
Both members of alt-pop superduo Broken Bells producer Danger Mouse and singer James Mercer from the Shins are big Mad Men fans. So when it was time to cast the beautiful android in their video for”The Ghost Inside,” they immediately thought of the show’s Christina Hendricks. ”We assumed we would ask and that’d be it,” Mercer says. ” She’s got to be so busy, and who the hell are we? But she said yes! Turns out she’s a fan of our record.”
Hendricks plays a hard-working android who wants to retire to an outer-space resort community. Unfortunately, this plan costs a lot of money, which she doesn’t have. So she has to sell off various parts of her android body. ”They’re expensive components,” Mercer explains.
