My Chemical Romance Release Prelude To The End Short Film Voiced By Phoebe Bridgers, Billie Eilish, & More

My Chemical Romance has released a short film titled "Prelude To The End," a collaboration with visual artist Lauren Tsai, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album "The Black Parade." The film, which features voice actors Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers, and Hideo Kojima, is set in Tsai's visual universe "The Dying World" and follows the story of Astrid, a student at an eerie boarding school.

The film's opening shot introduces the school as "Paper Academy," potentially referencing My Chemical Romance's unfinished album, "The Paper Kingdom." The film will be screened at My Chemical Romance's final LA shows at the Hollywood Bowl.
