Linkin Park eyeing New Divide

Directed by Joe Hahn from the album, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Linkin Park provided more than a track for the Transformers film. New Divide will be used as a thematic element to score sections of the movie, therefore various "interpolations" were created together with world renowned composer Hans Zimmer.

Just like a Michael Bay movie slams you with explosions, the video seems to be a never ending reel of special effects. The pixel bleeding used to transition between the movie and the band works well to keep from making it just another typical movie tie in. The rest seems to try and make the clip as visually appealing as possible though it might make sense after watching the movie, the ghostly halos, etc.
