Shut Up And Play The Hits is set to be released later this year, with Pitchfork reporting that more details will be announced on April 2, which will mark one year on from LCD Soundsystem's last ever show. The film was directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace and has the tagline: "If it's a funeral… let's have the best funeral ever." Murphy is also set to appear in another film, The Comedy, as an "ageing Brooklyn hipster". The flick, which was directed by Rick Alverson and stars Tim Heidecker, was co-produced by the independent record label Jagjaguwar. LCD Soundsystem released their final LP, 'This Is Happening', in 2010.
