Music Video: The Killers, “Shot at the Night”

The Killers have revealed the music video for their new single, “Shot at the Night,” which was produced by M83’s Anthony Gonzalez. The clip, directed by Roboshobo (a.k.a. Robert Schober) and shot in the band’s hometown of Las Vegas, stars Bella Heathcote (Not Fade Away, Dark Shadows) as a daydreaming casino maid—whose humdrum existence is, of course, conveyed via a proverbial shot of her feeding her cat—who meets cute with a dapper young tourist played by Max Minghella (The Internship, The Social Network) after almost running him over at a traffic light. He and his friends give her a “shot at the night,” resulting in a sweetly romantic tale that’s well-suited to singer Brandon Flowers’s yearning vocal and Gonzalez’s shimmering synths.
