Then there was their horror film, Slashed, which boasted a remarkable cast – "James Nesbitt, Dave Grohl, Chris Martin, Moby," recalls Wheeler – but never saw the light of day either. "We're still talking about using that footage," he says. "A lot of people will want to see Chris Martin getting axed to death. Actually, he was the best thing in it. He's a really, really good actor. He could be really strong in a comedy."

Alright, from wikipedia. I went to search to see exactly why it never got released when I found this :

 

"In 2003, it was leaked to the music and tabloid press that Ash were working on a horror film described as a 'teen slasher'. The film, called Slashed, was shot while the band were on tour in America but some scenes were also shot in the UK. The screenplay, written by Jed Shepherd and directed by Alexander Marks included star roles by Chris Martin (Sherbet Bones) and Jonny Buckland (Agent Ford) of Coldplay as a pair of FBI agents hired to track down a supernatural serial killer. Other star performances include that of Moby, James Nesbitt, Dave Grohl and Ash themselves.[2] The film was much hyped due to the celebrity performances but it was never generally released to the public and is currently being held in storage. Rumours circulated that certain scenes were too gory and would not be suitable for Ash's audience, but it was also said that Chris Martin vetoed its release due to scenes of him running around in his boxer shorts, covered in blood, fighting demons which may have been detrimental to his new celebrity status"

 

WTH?!? Who wouldn't LOVE to see that?!?

 

Darn, Chris. Darrnnn.

So if he didn't want to be seen in his boxer shorts, covered in blood, why did he accept to shoot the scene?

I don't understand you Chris. :inquisitive:
