Having matured past their dread "Mascara-cum-New Wave" phase, it seems the Killers have now entered a "Mexican Missionary Melodrama-cum-Stadium Rock" phase, as evidenced by the new "trailer" for the music video-- excuse me, "película"-- for airwave-divebombing single "When You Were Young". Didn't Jon Secada do this already?:
