Machine Gun Kelly is set to create a musical around his new album Tickets To My Downfall. He told NME that he has already shot the film, calling it a “pop-punk Grease.” He explained, “I’ve been jumping up and down on the table, believing in myself, for-f*cking-ever.”
He added, “I just shot it in four days with Mod Sun. It was my first time directing.” Kelly said that the idea came from a running joke he has with Sun where they make excuses to leave situations by saying that they need to go a watch Grease 2. He explained,”Maybe that joke sparked the whole idea, because now we’re making a new pop-punk Grease. It was almost like shooting 14 music videos back-to-back, but with a narrative that’s outside of my personal life stories.”
