Their documentary, "Artifact," chronicles the production of the band's third album. "The film is highly critical of the record business, but I'm not anti-record label, at all. I'm anti-greed. I'm anti-corruption," Leto said. "I'm pro-artist. I believe that everybody can win. You don't have to steal from one another to do it, or to treat one another unfairly." "Artifact" won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival and was recently shown at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. While things are back to normal, Leto feels the "cuts are still fresh." "I think they're healing. But they're definitely not healed yet. It takes some time. The good news is that there's an entirely new group that's running things. It's essentially a new record company," Leto said. The band, which also includes Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicivic, will begin a world tour in June to support the new album. Meanwhile, Leto will return to the big screen this year, starring opposite Matthew McConaughey in the AIDS drama, "Dallas Buyers Club." "I hadn't made a film for five years, and this role came along to play a transsexual in a film about the birth of this horrible plague. I wasn't looking to make a film, or to take five years off, either," Leto said. A conversation between astronaut Tom Marshburn from the International Space Station and Leto will be available on both the band's and NASA's websites. ___ Online:
