Flying Lotus: Celebs Rumors

The headliners for this year's Adult Swim Festival on the Green have been announced. Top billing will be claimed by Eric André and Flying Lotus, alongside sets from SNL's Sarah Sherman, Ginger Root, DeathbyRomy, Hemlocke Springs, and DJ Akira Akira.

Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison) has already made a name for himself in the music business as a Grammy Award-winning rapper, producer, and composer. But the multi-hyphenate dabbles in film production, too, like his 2017 feature debut “Kuso,” which had its world premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

AFROPUNK is returning to Brooklyn this summer, but at a new venue and with a new theme. The two-day festival is ditching its old stomping grounds in Commodore Barry Park for the Greenpoint Terminal Market, where they’ll introduce their new theme, “CIRCUS OF SOUL – transforming the riverside blacktop into a carnivalesque exhibition that spotlights all aspects of Black creativity, soundtracked by music that speaks to the heart of the Black experience.” This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, August 26 and Sunday, August 27, with Jazmine Sullivan and Flying Lotus taking the two headlining spots.

Last summer, it was announced that Flying Lotus would be returning with a new feature film, a sci-fi thriller titled “Ash.” At the time, names like Tessa Thompson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were reported as starring in the film. Well, things have changed, months later, but have no fear, the filmmaker has found some great stars for “Ash.” According to XYZ Films and GFC Films, Flying Lotus is about to begin production on his new film, “Ash.” And set to star in the two leading roles are none other than Eiza Gonzalez and Aaron Paul.

Ready for another dose of gory nostalgia? The V/H/S franchise satisfies found footage fanatics with its latest entry, “V/H/S/99.” Set at the end of the ’90s, this new project captures a period full of fears (real and imagined) about a new millennium. The changing times also mean an entry playing by its own rules.

Flying Lotus has confirmed the cast for his new sci-fi thriller Ash, which will feature Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tessa Thompson in leading roles.The new film from the electronic producer – real name Steven Ellison – was announced back in January and follows his 2017 directorial debut Kuso. It’s based on an original screenplay from Jonni Remmler.

When you see two prominent, A-list actors sign up for a film from a fairly young, up-and-coming filmmaker, it always makes you take notice. What do these folks see that encouraged them to sign up? Is it the story? Well, in the case of Tessa Thompson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who both signed up to star in the upcoming film, “Ash,” it’s clearly due to the chance to work with the filmmaker, Steven Ellison, aka Flying Lotus.

Flying Lotus has dropped off pair of new songs, ‘You Don’t Know’ and ‘The Room’ – listen to both below.The tracks – both of which feature Los Angeles–based soul singer Devin Tracy – are the producer’s first new releases since scoring Netflix anime series Yasuke last year.The series, which was created and directed by LeSean Thomas and Studio MAPPA, stars LaKeith Stanfield as the show’s titular character and sees Flying Lotus take on the role of composing the original score.FlyLo called it a ‘dream project”, and he consulted on the story, working alongside renowned anime creators MAPPA Studios as an executive producer on the project. His creativity in this role was driven by “an opportunity to communicate from a unique and necessary perspective”.You can check out ‘You Don’t Know’ and ‘The Room’ below:FlyLo’s last album was 2019’s ‘Flamagra’, which NME‘s Thomas Hobbs called “a piece of art that’s bursting with ideas that impressively complement one another” in a five star review.Earlier this year, Flying Lotus shared details of his forthcoming second feature film Ash, which will contain elements of both sci-fi and horror.The film is the follow up to Flying Lotus’ 2017 theatrical debut Kuso.

Flying Lotus has shared details of his forthcoming second feature film Ash, which will contain elements of both sci-fi and horror.The film, announced yesterday (January 26), is the follow up to Flying Lotus’ 2017 theatrical debut Kuso. The musician – real name Steven Ellison – will serve as the film’s director, and will also provide an original score.Ellison will work with production companies XYZ Films and GFC Films on the film – with the former also providing financing for its production.

Netflix has released the final trailer for Yasuke, the upcoming anime series starring LaKeith Stanfield.Yasuke, which is scored and executive produced by Flying Lotus, premieres this Thursday (April 30). The show is created by LeSean Thomas, responsible for Netflix’s Cannon Busters and Adult Swim’s Black Dynamite.The anime tells the tale of Yasuke, a samurai of African descent who finds himself in the middle of a conflict between warring daimyo (feudal lords) when he becomes the unwitting guardian of a mysterious child.

We're fast approaching the premiere of Yasuke, the Netflix anime based on the true story of an African slave who became a samurai in 14th century Japan. Flying Lotus will handle the show's soundtrack, and today he's shared two songs: "Black Gold" featuring Thundercat and "Between Memories" with Niki Randa.

Netflix is betting big on anime in 2021, but there’s arguably no title as highly anticipated as “Yasuke.” This project takes the true story of a legendary Black samurai of the same name, voiced by LaKeith Stanfield, and adds in a whole lot more magic than you’d expect. Ahead of its release at the end of the month, Netflix has finally released the first trailer for the anime.

Moses Boyd, FKA Twigs, Arlo Parks and Flying Lotus were among the big winners at the AIM Independent Music Awards.

On Friday, Flying Lotus shared the animated visuals to his latest track “Remind U,” off his 2020 album Flamagra (Instrumentals). The psychedelic Winston Hacking-directed clip features everything from flying fish to floating neon heads and everything in between.
