American Express has tapped David Lynch to direct a live webcast of a forthcoming Duran Duran concert at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles. This will be the fourth in the company's American Express Unstaged series in which big-name directors are paired with popular live acts -- previously, Terry Gilliam teamed up with the Arcade Fire at Madison Square Garden and Spike Lee directed a show by the Roots and John Legend at Terminal 5 in Manhattan.

"The idea is to try and create on the fly, layers of images permeating Duran Duran on the stage," he said in a statement about the gig.
