Drew Barrymore Directs Star-Studded Music Video for Best Coast [PHOTOS and VIDEO]
Drew Barrymore sat on the director's seat for Best Coast's music video for the song "Our Deal", starring Chloe Moretz, Alia Shawkat, Miranda Crosgrove and many more.
Indie group Best Coast enjoyed a Hollywood A-list treat for their song "Our Deal", with its music video directed by famed actress Drew Barrymore. The video has an old school gang rival feel, channeling the plot of the famous musical "Grease" and "Romeo and Juliet". The music video tells the story of two rival gangs "Day Trotters" and "Night Creepers" where two main characters from differing groups fell in love and met a tragic end. "Kick Ass" actress Chloe Moretz stars as the Night Creepers member who fell for "Teen Wolf" star Tyler Posey from the Day Trotters.
Co-stars include "Arrested Development" cast member Alia Shawkat, "Community" actor Donald Glover, Miranda Crosgrove from Nickelodeon show "iCarly". According to Best Coast vocalist and songwriter Bethany Cosantino, they were all "addicted" to the movie "Grease" during the time they wrote the song. The young actors were dressed up in labeled jackets that followed their suit and were involved in choreographed riots, making a direct homage to the famous movie.
This is not the first time Drew Barryomore went behind the scenes as a director. She was also responsible for directing 2009's Whip It, a movie based on a book about roller derby starring Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Wiig, and herself.
"Our Deal" is a track off Best Coast's debut record "Mexican Summer".
