Jillian Lauren Shriner, who is a writer, was shot by police and accused of attempted murder; She has not yet presented her version of the facts
When the Weezer He took the stage of the Coachella American Festival on Saturday afternoon, 12, many fans in the audience awaited some update about the bassist’s wife Scott Shriner, Jillian Lauren Shrinerwhich was shot by the Los Angeles Police Department on his property last week and arrested for attempted murder.
Unsurprisingly, the band made no reference to the incident. However, it confirmed the rumors that a movie from the Weezer It is in production. Scenes in Coachella can be used, which would make a cancellation unfeasible.
“We were busy recording the movie Weezer in Los Angeles in recent weeks ” he said Rivers Cuomo to the audience before playing “Undone (The Sweater Song). “But when Coachella called us and said, ‘Hey, weezer, could you make a surprise appearance?’ We answered, ‘Of course, yes!’. It’s so good to be here with you and to extravate these emotions.”
As the site notes Stereogumrumors about a movie from Weezer They have been circulating in the fan community for several weeks. The historian/archivist/fifth non -official member of the band, Karl Kochrecently invited fan club members to a “private footage of product autographs” for a “video to be announced” in Los Angeles on April 21. He wrote:
“This is your chance to say Hello to the band and get an autograph in a private and exclusive environment and, perhaps, appear in the video too! … Fans must bring their own autograph products. Note that this will involve several hours of ‘waiting in line’ to meet the needs of the film team.”
This makes it seem that the Weezer She is recording a traditional documentary about her story, and they just need a video B of them interacting with fans. But when the tour Voyage to the blue album ended in Los Angeles in October 2024, the actor Ben Schwartz He asked the audience to help the filming.
“Now, there is a great struggle in which the Weezer is fighting these great villains ”he said. “And what will happen now is that they will follow me, and I will fight in different areas. And I will say, ‘Someone punches someone from Weezer‘and you react to that. And then I say, ‘And the WeezerGive a kick on their ass! ‘, And you react to it. ”
Judging by this, something much stranger than a standard documentary is in production. It looks like a kind of bizarre cross between the movie Kiss 1978, Kiss Meets The Phantom of the Parkand the documentary/fiction Pavementfrom 2024. But at the moment, we have no idea what kind of movie they are doing, involving a choreographed fight with “great villains” and their scenes finding fans in real life.
About that, Shriner became an unlikely figure on the site TMZ due to the legal situation of his wife. He was very indifferent to being confronted by a camera while strolling with his dogs a few days ago. “She is fine”He said when asked about the state of his wife. “Thanks for asking”.

The incident occurred on April 8, when a suspect in running over and escape left his car on highway 134 and ran close to the property of Shrinerwith the Los Angeles police in persecution. According to the police, Jillian Lauren Shriner He was in his backyard with a firearm as the chaos settled. They claim she pointed the gun at the police, ignored the orders to drop it and fired. She was then shot by the Los Angeles police and accused of attempted murder.
She has not yet presented her version of the facts and is unclear if there are images of body cameras of the incident.
THE Weezerin turn, it continues to do shows. Their next show will be on May 3, at Lovin ‘Life Music Fest in Charlotte, North Carolina. The band has a fixed schedule of festivals at festivals in the United States and Europe during summer and autumn, closing October 19 at when We Were Young in Las Vegas.
