Mary McCartney to direct Elvis Costello music video

Paul's daughter Mary will direct a video for Elvis Costello's song “You Shouldn’t Look at Me That Way," which plays over the end titles of director Paul McGuigan’s new film, “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool.”
Annette Bening plays Hollywood siren and Oscar winner Gloria Grahame, Jamie Bell is her young lover Peter Turner. The story is based on Peter’s memoir and produced by the James Bond team of Barbara Broccoli and Michael S. Wilson.
The backstory for the song is that McGuigan and Broccoli went to to a Costello show last year at which, by coincidence, Costello mentioned Grahame in his patter. “We knew it was meant to be,” McGuigan told me last night at Sony Pictures Classics’s annual star studded dinner. “We went backstage and told him about the movie. He said, I’ll write you a song. And sure enough, on Christmas Day, it arrived in our emails. And it was perfect.”
