In the video, released Thursday (Jan. 29), the band performs in what appears to be someone's living room with a huge video screen behind them displaying spacey environments, while clips of The Dream Walker anime film are interspersed.

"The Dream Walker is a multi-year project launching with the album and a short anime film, followed by graphic novels, a novel, then a feature film," explained DeLonge. A full-length feature film is also in pre-production, as well as a novelization and various iconic collectibles and attire, because what would a film be without merchandising?

"It's gonna be a long process but there will be stuff rolling out continuously. The book is so good. The novel is f�king awesome. It's a New York Times best-selling author writing it."
