Sir Ben Kingsley as hardcore legend Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat/Fugazi/Dischord Records fame? Perfect, since Kingsley can draw upon his Oscar-winning role as Gandhi and mix it with a little bit of Sexy Beast. The acclaimed actor recreates the indelible Minor Threat cover art, before launching into a lip-sync rendition of "Minor Threat" at a punk rock club. The video was produced as part of a series of music/movie/fashion tributes commissioned by Mean Magazine. Other gems include Kate Beckinsale conjuring the spirit of French film star Anna Karina by lip-syncing and cavorting to her hit Serge Gainesbourg collabo "Roller Girl," — original here, Beckinsale video cover here — and, coming soon, SNL star Bill Hader as Harvey Keitel in an homage to Bad Lietenant. --> watch Ben Kingsley in Minor Threat
