Though Flaming Lips will spend their forthcoming holiday season terrestrially, the psych-rockers finally plan to wrap efforts on their long awaited film Christmas on Mars, hoping to "hash it out when they're done with their little September tour," a band spokesperson confirmed to SPIN.com. The film, which has yet-to-be issued a release date, will hopefully -- as according to frontman Wayne Coyne's recent interview with Billboard.com -- unveil at SXSW next March in Austin, TX. "It is coming," Coyne said. "In fact, it's better than ever. Because it's taken so long, we've become better filmmakers. There's better computer effects. I think it will be much better."

"At the five-year mark it already felt like it was absurd," Coyne said. "It has built a little bit of an urban legend about itself… I talk to people, strange as it may seem, who think they've already seen it 'cause we've been talking about it for so long." In addition, Coyne hopes to take the film on tour in an effort to give fans "a Flaming Lips experience of another kind."

"It'll be like our live show, which evolves as it goes," Coyne said. "We'll show it to the audience and let them talk out there on message boards, and then maybe we'll take that and go back and change it and put it out there again and see what they think… I want the Flaming Lips audience to shape this."
