(9/8/01, 10 a.m. ET) -- Fatboy Slim's "Weapon Of Choice" took home six Video Music Awards on Thursday night (September 6). Director Spike Jonze was asked about the star of the video, Christopher Walken, a film star not known for his dancing. "He's the best dancer, and I don't know. I love him. He was born a dancer. He danced when he was a kid, so I think once he has the rhythm and you can't take that [away from him]. We shot it at the Marriott in downtown Los Angeles right before Christmas. We got to own the lobby for two nights."
Jonze is currently editing a new movie he directed, Adaptation, which is scheduled for release next year. Fans can view Fatboy Slim's "Weapon Of Choice" on demand at LAUNCH.com.
