“Maybe I’ll convince Johnny [Depp] to be in it — I’ll extort him to be in it,” Manson told MTV, which is as good a plan as any, though with someone like Depp you’d think he’d have a pretty full dance card at this point. What are the chances that he’ll just have a few weeks free to help Manson realize his dream? I guess only time will answer that question.
Manson did discuss what we can expect from the final film, and it’s not far from what I had hoped for when the project was first announced. “I’m a big fan of [Roman] Polanski and of Ingmar Bergman, and I wouldn’t say it will be like a modern horror film … It wouldn’t be like what people are used to seeing today. But I think by being traditional, sometimes like a Hitchcock, it’s almost modern, because people are so used to seeing special effects.”
Hey, if Manson can pull it off and make it interesting, I’m all for it. He’s definitely got a twisted enough vision to make this one worth keeping an eye on. Check out more pre-production art from the film right here when you have a few minutes.
