Brit rockers Coldplay have unveiled an exciting behind-the-scenes preview of their upcoming new music video for 'Princess Of China'.

The group teamed up with Rihanna for the fantastic single and recently teased fans with hand-drawn stills from the video, but have now released an official 'backstage' clip for the full cut.

In the clip, Rihanna can be heard admitting that "the final concept now is like a movie trailer to an old kung-fu film. How awesome is that, right?"

"I get to play a bad samurai b*tch," she continued. "I get to play a cute little geisha b*tch."

The footage shows both the 'Umbrella' superstar and Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin dressed in oriental-inspired outfits while dangling from suspension wires with samurai swords. A host of male and female extras also appear in the trailer and can be seen banging drums and performing synchronised routines.
