SIMULATION THEORY FILM
Available digitally now: muse.mu/film
Deluxe box sets out 11 December. Pre-order now!
From February to October of 2019 MUSE took their Simulation Theory Tour to over 28 countries and played in front of more than 1 MILLION people. Now fans will be able to experience the spectacle and more when the Simulation Theory movie will be available for rent or download on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play (distribution will be via Eagle Rock Entertainment). For more information please go to muse.mu/film
Conceived and filmed at London’s O2 Arena in September 2019 the film directed by Lance Drake, (who also directed all the promo videos for Simulation Theory album) and Produced by Muse, Pulse Films, Lance Drake, Jesse-Lee Stout and Matthew Bellamy, follows a team of scientists as they investigate the source of a paranormal anomaly appearing around the world. Blurring the lines between narrative and concert film, virtual and reality, Muse’s most theatrical tour to date launches the viewer through a supernatural spectacle, questioning the world around us.
Says Drake, “the goal for Simulation Theory was to capture the scale of the electrifying live show and to expand upon its connection to the DNA of the world we built for the past three years in music videos for Muse. In a strange turn, the film’s alternate reality eerily started to mirror our own.”
Available for pre order on the same day will be 2 different limited edition deluxe box sets which will be available via muse.mu and physical retail. To celebrate the release of the Deluxe box sets, MUSE also teamed up with Marvel Comics to create and release a custom Simulation Theory comic book and limited-edition poster.

“To make us angry at things we never cared about.” Wow. If that doesn’t sum up the social media age…

That's Matt,that's Muse.Evolving, and improving, to a next level, realising short movies, not just music.

[@sammyondayoutube]

I’m glad someone called this out, RATM became a joke when they started pulling online tabs to sell tab books about songs complaining about capitalism. Sell me all the shit you want Muse, just don’t write songs about bad consumerism

[@cydonich8013]

Произошла метаирония

[@KitKar79]

Well, we still live in a capitalist world and have to pay the bills for living in this society. We may not like capitalism, but we have to play the game until it gets upturned and something different replaces it.

[@sammyondayoutube]

KitKar79 Celebrities don’t care about regular people and for all Matt’s songs about uprisings and his tweets celebrating the riots, a few months back he had no problem flying privately to his studio to recover some guitars before it was hit. Not everyone has that luxury or wealth and a lot of people won’t recover. Everytime he tweets about how we need to stop the corrupt system from the comfort of his mansion I laugh. These celebrities are totally detached

[@SmokeyMcPotProductions]

In “Behold, The Glove” I commented “More keytair, please”... seems like he saw my comment😅 I’m just being dumb... but there’s something about Simulation Theory’s aesthetic that I’m enjoying so freakin much, and I’ve been a fan since Absolution. Keep em coming... I’m lovin it

[@christineringuette8764]

Wow. Thank you, agreed! Seems like so many ppl keep saying how they miss their "old" or "harder" stuff. Bands that have been around this long are grateful to still be around and they got that way b/c they didn't follow an algorithm (pun intended) and their fan base stuck with them... It's Matt, it's Muse. Period. I'm their age and if I were a musician, I wouldn't want to be creating/singing about stuff now like I did in my 20's.

[@SmokeyMcPotProductions]

Christine Ringuette exactly!! I try not to let it bother me... but... well, it BOTHERS me when I see those comments... how much they miss Origins Of Symmetry MUSE and how this new album is garbage, etc... and I’ve been seeing these comments since Black Holes & Revelations!! IMO, they have NOT put out a bad record... ever. Sure, I may not love every single song on each album... in fact, each release has at least 2 or 3 songs I always skip. But I can honestly say I love every record they’ve put out and I’ve seen them live at least once on each tour since BH&R, with a couple extra shows here and there. Even when they DID “go back to their roots” and released Drones, which is more or less a straight up rock album - drums, bass, guitar... with very little production... people still complained. Doesn’t make any sense. And don’t get me started on the Radiohead comparisons... they haven’t had that Radiohead vibe since Showbiz, and even then... it was mostly just a similarity in vocals. I can understand to the untrained ear or casual fan how they might think this, but as a long time fan of both bands, they definitely do their own things. Can you imagine how sick you’d get of your favorite band if they just kept making the same record over and over, just a little differently each time? People think that’s what they want, but I guarantee it’ll get old SO fast...

[@christineringuette8764]

@@SmokeyMcPotProductions right again my friend! I bet it feels good to get that off your chest, lol. The Radiohead comparison thing - so funny: Radiohead for me were my college days and I've always really liked them...but when I discovered Muse (at Showbiz) I did not see (hear) the comparison at all. Really! And that's me listening to the two bands (again, no social media discussions back then to have this fight)...it wasn't until after Muse put out Absolution, I think, that I started to hear ppl mumbling that crap. Then I started paying more attention, and saw a very mild comparison. I hear it in Map of Your Head and I think Paranoid Android sounds like Muse.

[@theimortal1974]

i know people say bad things about the album but simulation theory will always have a place in my heart because it was the first new album release since i discovered muse and probably the only album tour i'll ever go to.

[@Quantanpie]

God i love Matt bellamy. He's always known about the corruption in this world and tried to expose it through his music. I'm in Australia and the song uprising has never been more relevant.

[@yewnyewn7296]

I love Matt and co. and listen to them religiously, but here's a thought. Think of them as misinformation agents designed to embed specific thoughts into our minds. An example: The Resistance - "Quell your prayers for love and peace. You'll wake the thought police. We can hide the truth inside." "Love is our resistance! They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down. And hold me, our lips must always be sealed."

[@goziendianefo9508]

Yes. But I felt they were giving up hope in the Simulation theory album. If you listen to the song " thought contagion" they said in it "it's too late for a revolution, brace for the final solution"... Now it is, wake up before it's too late. Damn.

[@chiffmonkey]

@@yewnyewn7296 The person telling you to wake up from the system... is the system. It's meta. Bellamy is an infiltrator living the LA life.

Mainly I love that this is your art taken to the max rather than playing what's composed by the sound team or acting exactly what's given by the director, or wearing store bought expensive glasses. And that is theme isn't it, it's not the consumerist made to sell package. This is all you. It's sick. Insanely inspiring.
