Ilya Naishuller sounds like the name of a character from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. , but he’s got a better shot at directing a future entry in the James Bond franchise. The 29-year-old Naishuller is a most interesting hyphenate: he’s the front man for the Russian punk band Biting Elbows and a filmmaker who has lit up the Internet — 6 million YouTube views and counting since its Mar. 18 upload — and Hollywood with a remarkable NSFW music video for the band’s new single “Bad Motherfucker.” The video, which is subtitled, Insane Office Escape 2, is a bit like a mash-up of The Matrix and Reservoir Dogs as seen from the perspective of a first-person shooter video game and it has gotten the attention of Samuel L. Jackson and Darren Aronofsky who have praised Naishuller via their Twitter feeds: This is some Buck Wild shit! This coming from a BMF! vimeo.com/m/62092214 — Samuel L. Jackson (@SamuelLJackson) March 22, 2013 so well done: kotaku.com/5991228/this-a… — darren aronofsky (@DarrenAronofsky) March 20, 2013 If you haven’t seen it already, watch it here: The video carries a “2” in its title because it’s a sequel of sorts to video that Naishuller made for Biting Elbows 2011 track “The Stampede,” which has more than 3 million YouTube views. But as you can see, the follow-up is a vast improvement on all counts. If you want to know more about Naishuller and the making of Insane Office Escape 2 , you can read BigThink’s interview with him here , where the punk filmmaker indicates that he attended New York University’s Tisch School for the Arts and has Hollywood agents sniffing around him. IMDbPro doesn’t yet have a listing for Naishuller, but I bet that’s about to change stat. [ BigThink ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
