HURRICANE HAS BEEN BANNED FROM TELEVISION - HURRICANE FUE FROHIBIDO EN LA TELEVISIÓN

Here is one letter out of several we received about the inability for networks to broadcast HURRICANE as is.
I am looking to find a creative solution that works for all.

(Names have been omitted for privacy)

Hi ——,

Here is the feedback from our compliance team,

Please note the final comments can only be given after our compliance
team has viewed the digibeta, there were areas which they were unable to
view towards the end of the video.

Overall the bondage theme will warrant a POST 10 PM restriction as the
film is in its current form.

There is one shot that will have to be removed completely for a POST
10PM restriction -

09:17 – WOMAN RUNS FINGER OVER OTHER WOMAN’S G-STRING
CLAD BOTTOM AND TOUCHES HER ANUS -

This shot makes the video completely
restricted.

There are other bondage shots towards the end of the film that compliance were unclear about, they would have to view frame by frame on
tape to gauge whether they would need to be cut too for POST 10PM.

The violence in the film is not graphic and would warrant a POST 7pm
restriction. But the overall sexual content does push the restriction
up.

Here’s what was logged so far:

30 Seconds To Mars – Hurricane (rough cut) OFFLINE

Contains:
00:27 – in French “It’s not reality, it’s a dream”

30 Seconds To Mars Call Kanye West Collabo An 'Unexpected Surprise'


Last year, when 30 Seconds to Mars were still laboring on This Is War, more than a few eyebrows were raised when Kanye West posted a photo on his blog of him, Jared Leto and the Killers' Brandon Flowers in the studio, where the trio had apparently just finished recording a "dope-ass song."

Later, Leto explained to MTV News that the "dope-ass song" was called "Hurricane," and it featured West singing, minus the Auto-Tune he'd been dabbling with at the time (there was no mention of Flowers' involvement). It sounded like a promising collaboration, but, sadly, fans never actually got to hear it: When This Is War hit stores, "Hurricane" was on there, but West's work wasn't.

Leto explained that the band had to remove Kanye from the track at the last minute, due to some rather restrictive deadlines and a lot of back-and-forth between record labels, but he and his 30STM mates were so impressed with West's contributions that they pledged that someday, somehow, the song would see the light of day.

And, as it turns out, they kept their promise. On November 2, 30STM will release a deluxe edition of This Is War, featuring a DVD, a pair of live tracks recorded for the BBC (including a version of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance") and, at long last, the full, Kanye West-ified version of "Hurricane." It's been a long time in the making, but, as Leto told MTV News on Friday (September 24), the song is worth the wait.

"Let's put it this way: It's a collision of two worlds, and I think it's a completely unexpected surprise. He's not only on the track, but he's phenomenal on the track. ... It's one of the strongest things that he's done, in my opinion," he said. "His singing is incredible on it, and he's done a lot of really wonderful work, and I think this only adds to his work as a whole. ... Working with him was an incredible experience."

Leto said the new/old version of "Hurricane" (he prefers to call it "an alternative experience") doesn't stray all that far from the version that ended up on This Is War — they're both decidedly bleak ruminations on death and lust and sacrifice — but it does feature West getting darker than he's ever gotten before.

"It was an interesting time. ... I remember, he started here at the house, where we made the record, and then we finished in Hawaii," Leto said. "It is a song that's on the darker side of things. It's the flipside of 'Kings and Queens' — which has a through line of optimism and hope, and a really strong spirit to it — this song explores a different territory, and his lyrics do the same."

Leto added that, if it were up to him and West, the song would've ended up on the original version of This Is War, but now that 30STM are gearing up to shoot a video for the track, it does present a rather interesting opportunity — perhaps a cameo by Kanye?

"I think that would be an interesting element to add for sure," Leto laughed. "We'll just have to see."

Are you happy the Kanye/30STM collabo is finally seeing the light of day? Let us know in the comments!


TRADUCCIÓN

El pasado año, cuando 30 seconds to mars estaba todavía trabajando en THIS IS WAR, más de un ceño fruncido reparó cuando Kanye West publicó un foto en su bog de él, Jared Leto y the Killers' Brandon Flowers en el estudio, donde el trio aparentemente acababa de terminar de grabar una "dope-ass song."

Luego, Leto explicó a Mtv noticias que la "dope-ass song" fue llamada "Hurricane," y West aparecía cantando, menos el Auto-Tune con el que había estado coqueteando en ese momento (no hubo mención de la participación de FLOWERS). Esto sonaba como una prometedora colaboración, pero, lamentablemente, Los fans nunca tuvieron la oportunidad de escucharlo(que esto creo yo no es del todo cierto pues yo la escuché(comentario propio)): Cuando THI IS WAR sacudió las tiendas, "Hurricane" estaba allí, pero el trabajo de West no.

Leto explicó que la banda tuvo que sacar a Kanye en el último momento, debido a algunos plazos restrictivos y un montón de idas y vueltas entre selloos discográficos, pero él y sus compañeros de 30STM estaban muy imprecionados con la colaboración de Kanye que ellos prometiron qué algún día, de alguna manera, la canción vería la luz del día.

Y, resulta que, ellos cumplieron su promesa. El 2 de Nobiembre, 30STM dará a conocer una edición deluxe de This Is War, con un DVD, un par de pistas en vivo grabadas por la BBC (incluyendo una verción de "Bad Romance" de Lady Gaga) y, al fin, el pleno, la verción de "Hurricane" hecha con Kanye West ha sido un largo tiempo en la realización, pero, como Leto llamó MTV News el viernes (Septiembre 24), la canción vale la espera.

"Pongámoslo de ésta manera: Es una colición de dos mundos, y yo creo es una completa inesperada sorpresa. Él no es el único en la pista, pero él es fenomenal en la pista. ... Es una de las más grandes cosas que ha hecho, en mi opinión," él dijo. "Su canto es increíble en esto, y él ha hecho un montón de realmente increíble trabajo, y creo que ésto se suma a su trabajo como un todo. ... Trabajar co él fue una experiencia increíble."

Leto dijo la nueva/vieja verción de "Hurricane" (él prefiere llamarle "una experiencia alternativa") no se aleja tanto de la verción que terminó en This Is War — ambos son decididamente reflexiones sombrías sobre muerte y lujuria y sacrifício — pero si cuentan con West cada vez más oscuro de lo que ha siempre conseguido antes.

"Fué un momento interesante. ... Recuerdo, él empezó aquí en la casa, donde nosotros hicimos la grabación, y luego terminamos en Hawai," Leto dijo. "es una canción que está el lado más oscuro de las cosas. És la otra cara de 'Kings and Queens' — la cual tiene una línea a través del optimismo y la esperanza, y un realmente fuerte espíritu para ésto — ésta canción explora un territorio diferente, y su letra hace lo mismo."

Leto agregó que, si fuera por él y west, la canción habría terminado en verción original de This Is War, pero ahora que 30STM se está preparando para grabar un video para la pista, esto presenta una oportunidad muy interesante —tal vez un cameo por Kanye?

"Creo que sería un elemento interesante para agregar por supuesto," Leto río. "Solo tendremos que ver."

Estás felíz que la colaboración Kanye/30STM es finalmente viendo la luz del día? déjanoslo saber en los comentarios!
