Die Antwoord’s New Short Film, Starring Their Daughter 16 And Jack Black, Is Weird As F*ck

Die Antwoord is back, this time with a short film starring their daughter and Jack Black. There's a good chance it's going to bring you nightmares.

Whenever you see a famous person make a rare appearance in a major magazine feature, you should know that something is coming.

We got the hint that Die Antwoord was returning when Ninja told that cray-cray tale for VICELAND just the other day.

The story, which stars Drake and Kanye playing basketball with Ninja, was magical, humorous and colourful – basically the exact opposite of what Die Antwoord had in store for us all along.

Called Tommy Can’t Sleep, their latest offering is a short film that stars their daughter, 16 Jones, as Lil’ Tommy, and Jack Black as Big Tommy.

Directed by ¥o-landi Vi$$er, they have reconnected with Roger Ballen for the art direction – which is clear from the black-and-white style, as well as those line drawings seen all over the show.

The idea is that Tommy can’t sleep because there are rats in his room, and his “stupid f*ckin dumb bitch mom doesn’t believe him”.

Indeed, that’s the kind of language that you will hear, straight out of foul-mouthed Lil’ Tommy’s mouth.

When Lil’ Tommy returns to his bed, his dreams are a lucid, rat-filled mess.

Ready? You better be:

Remember when we introduced you to 16 back in 2012? Who would have thought she would jump so heavily on her parents’ bandwagon.

Damn, girl.
