Evan Rachel Wood’s already done the nasty onscreen with Marilyn Manson (in that dreadful “Heart-Shaped Glasses” video), but now these lovebirds want to share more of their own twisted chemistry on the big screen, according to Variety:
Veteran producer Edward R. Pressman and filmmaker David Gordon Green are teaming to produce Adam Bhala Lough’s retro slasher film “Splatter Sisters,” with Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood attached to star.
Film, penned by Lough, is the first in a planned franchise and is a sexploitation-serial-killer-slasher-road-movie circa 1989.
Lough reckons “Splatter Sisters” could create a subgenre, which he calls “Skinemax Cinema,” based on the direct-to-cable movies of his childhood. Green said while Lough’s film is inspired by the horror classics of the 1980s, it has a fresh spin that raises the bar.
“This is a role Marilyn Manson was born to play, and with Evan Rachel Wood bringing dramatic gravity to the ensemble, I have no doubt this will take the horror genre to a new level,” Green said.
“Lough’s unique talent and energy will make ‘Splatter Sisters’ a very special and markedly commercial film,” Pressman said. “I’ve always been attracted to smart movies about killers made by directors with a real vision.”
While Manson might very well be the lost twin brother of Bombshell McGee, the guy certainly deserves credit for putting his rather unorthodox fantasies into motion… vicariously, of course. Now, Manson is one step closer to acting out one of his songs, “I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies” (which Manson promoted by declaring his desire to take a sledgehammer to Evan Rachel Wood’s skull on a daily basis) in a real movie. How exciting for him! As to Wood, she may certainly bring “dramatic gravity” to the movie, but I do believe that the only bar that shall be raised by this art movie will be that of her own batshit insanity.
