Spooky Marilyn Manson To Play Lewis Carroll In Weird Little Flick?

It isn’t enough for Marilyn Manson to dress up all funny and shout songs about being a little bit angry. Now Marilyn Manson wants to dress up all funny and make his own little film, too.

Manson is trying to find funding for a movie entitled - Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll. Obviously, since Marilyn Manson has written the script himself, he’ll want to play Lewis Carroll and direct the film himself. Probably in a really spooky way.

The world seems split on Marilyn Manson (CDs). He’s either the godlike
voice of the world’s disenfranchised youth, drawing hatred from older
generations who don’t understand him, or - if you don’t happen to be an odd
teenager in Doc Martins - he’s a bit of a ninny who still thinks that wearing
different coloured contact lenses is cool and scary.

No matter what you think of him, Marilyn Manson is all set to blast
your expectations out of the water if he gets the chance to make his
first feature film - Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll, a
lighthearted romantic comedy about a single mother and the
superficially arrogant primary school teacher of her wayward son. Just
kidding. It’s an ‘arthouse horror’ all about Lewis Carroll, the author
of Alice in Wonderland.

So determined is Marilyn Manson to make Phantasmagoria: The Visions
Of Lewis Carroll, that he’s planning on visiting Berlin’s European Film
Market next week to try and raise the £2.3 million necessary to fund
the movie. Manson’s even been working hard on the costumes and makeup
for the movie over the last year.

So what can we expect from Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll? According to producer Alain de la Mata:

"What people expect from Manson, they’re going to get here."

So
expect a feast of Gary Numan rip-offs, angry shouting and spooky
contact lenses, then. Marilyn Manson hopes to complete filming by
autumn.
