Mastodon are currently in talks to have their latest album, Crack The Skye, turned into a film.
Drummer Brann Dailor told US magazine Billboard that three different directors have apparently pitched to make the flick
Which weaves together a quadriplegic, astral travel and the mystic writings of Grigori Rasputin.
"That'd be killer if it actually happens," he said. "That's something that's cool about making concept records, that opportunity for more to be done, artistically. If you just had an album with a bunch of songs that didn't have anything to do with each other and there was no common thread, that aspect of the art wouldn't be there. But with ('Crack the Skye'), we have that possibility."
However, the film depends on whether or not the band can get funding to turn their dream into a reality.
"It all comes down to money," added Dailor. "We don't want to half-ass it; we want to make it real and awesome! But we're in a time period where labels are doing significantly less, moneywise, or trying to cut back, and making movies isn't exactly cutting corners. It's hard for an A&R guy to go to whoever writes the checks and be like, 'Yeah, this band that sells 150,000 records wants to make a million-dollar movie...' But we're not ruling it out yet."
