MARILYN MANSON IS PLAYING A DEATH METAL SINGER

 Friday, June 11th, 2010 at 10:30am by

Last month is was announced that Marilyn Manson and the young girl who lets him sodomize her, Evan Rachel Wood, would be co-starring in a retro slasher flick called Splatter Sisters, but other than it having some kind of road movie element, we actually weren’t told very much about the project. Now MTV has spoken to director Adam Bhala Lough, and gotten some details:

“It’s about two 18 year old beautiful drifter girls who go on a murderous rampage across California, killing scores of teenage boys. And they’re under mind control by the leader of this death metal band, this underground death metal band,” [Lough] said.

The death metal band leader in question is Lars, which is Manson’s role. He’s not just a rocker though. Lars also knows how to swing a sword! “There is a lot of samurai shit in [the movie] too because Lars is a samurai,” Lough said. “There is a lot of decapitation, a lot of arms getting chopped off, blood gushing, but in the beautiful way of a Japanese samurai film.”

I’m all for an awesome 80′s style splatter movie about a death metal samurai, but this kind of makes me wonder if Lough knows what death metal is, or if he’s one of those people who thinks that Slayer are a death metal band – or, worse, that Manson is already a death metal singer. Although Manson’s lyrics obviously deal with death quite a bit, I don’t think he could go twelve rounds with Chris Barnes or whomever in terms of that vocal style. I’m also not sure why you would hire a famous metal singer to play a different metal singer who shares a name with one of the most famous metal musicians in the world unless you actively wanted people to make that association; but, again, Lars Ulrich ain’t no death metaller. If the “Lars” character ends up being the singer for just some generic, non-death band, well, no one should be surprised.

But whatever. I’m sure I’m over-thinking this, as usual. Maybe it’ll be awesome. Lough also says that the titular sisters (who apparently won’t be blood sisters) and Manson will also do plenty of fucking, so if nothing else, the movie should have that going for it.

    Movie sounds abysmal. They should’ve made a romantic comedy.

    • http://heavystreet.com Sat

      Totally agree. Maybe a buddy-cop comedy.

      • kidgruesome

        Manson is the old timer about to retire and the girl is his newest partner and they have to take down the biggest drug dealer in town. Marilyn accomplishes this by tucking his junk between his legs and rides a pig into the hideout then he snorts up all the drugs whilst yelling “I’m too old for this shit!”.

        • http://heavystreet.com Sat

          I would totally back this script. You should be in hollywood at Mirimax Studios, not on a Metalsucks board.

      • Natsquatch

        Preferably with the whole black cop/white cop dynamic going for it.

  • MickFNS

    Does the role also require Manson to be fat and so winded from intensely clutching his mic that he can’t sing or deliver his lines? Because that’s just typecasting right there.

    • Genial Gentile

      LOLZ…well done.

  • Eric

    I’m going to go see this movie, and if the band isn’t real death metal, make sure that every single person in the theater knows that and never forgets it. Maybe I’ll even get thrown out.

    • >_>

      YEAH WOOOOOO

    • cougar party

      If you are going to do that, I encourage you to scream the immortal words of Ziltoid, “THIS IS NOT METAL”!!!!

      • Jonathan

        I swear, if I see this movie, I will do this if the “metal” is not metal.

    Manson as a Samurai death metal singer? What the fucking fuck is this production company thinking????

        Yes, always that.

        That makes no sense, who in their right mind would pay money, or fuck that, who in their right mind would even pass gas to get to see such a stupid fucking concept?

      • The 2,334,275,002nd most interesting man on the planet

        I would love to know the budget on this, because I honestly don’t see anyone but the few goths that are still around going. Even if the budget is less than 10 mil, this movie will not make it’s money back.

        • http://heavystreet.com Sat

          This sounds like a movie Mark Borchardt would borrow $3000 from his uncle to make. A black and white, on 8 mm, direct to market DVD.

          • Genial Gentile

            …which I would gladly fork over my hard-earned cash to see, but only if he found a role for Mike Schenk.

    Now there we go! An academy award waiting to happen. I hope everyone working on this film gets struck by lightning so it never comes to fruition.

    fuck marilyn manson, i cant wait for that peice of shit to tarnish the soil of this earth with is diseased corpse

  • W8ulostme

    How does this idea even get brought up to someone without that person being completely ridiculed?

    “I have an idea for a movie. It’s a slasher movie about two hot brainwashed teenagers that are under mind control from an underground death metal singer who is also a samurai!”

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/William-Morley/618112437 William Morley

    Why do people bother making this shit? This shit is clearly going to end up in the bargain bins in DVD stores the world over within a month of release.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ann-Allen/1565948936 Ann Allen

      For tax purposes… If it were anything else, every studio executive should be lynched.

  • tim

    “Lough also says that the titular sisters (who apparently won’t be blood sisters) and Manson will also do plenty of fucking, so if nothing else, the movie should have that going for it”

    Great, I always wanted to see Marilyn Manson have sex with (rape?) 2 girls. Or anyone, for that matter.

  • byrd36

    Antichrist Superstar is one of my all time favorite albums, they should make a movie about the deranged recording process for it.

    • The 2,334,275,002nd most interesting man on the planet

      Nope, instead they’re making a death metal samurai movie. Kurosowa would be proud!

  • dan nash

    hopefully the movie ends with manson committing harakiri, whilst the women laugh at the child like size of his dick.

  • sYgnal

    Is it just me or does Marilyn Manson look like Nicholas Cage with make-up on in this picture…NEXT II or maybe Ass Kicked?

    • byrd36

      That reminds me, anyone else checked out Nicholas Cage’s son, Weston Cage’s band Eyes of Noctum? Not great but better than I expected.

      • Jonathan

        They’re not super amazing, but they sound like they’ve got some serious potential. It’s really surprising. I’ve been digging their Inceptum album. Even though, I’m pretty sure that’s not a word.
        It’s standard symphonic black metal, but it’s done well, rather than coming off half assed.

  • http://www.segadriven.com Hairyman

    Say what you want about Manson, but that guy bats way above his average if you know what I mean ;) Lucky bastard.

  • Anthony

    “or if he’s one of those people who thinks that Slayer are a death metal band”

    You’re one of the people who got pissed off at that South Park episode “Die Hippie Die” for saying Slayer’s a Death Metal band.

    Also, fuck Manson. I got free tickets to his 2009 tour and felt incredibly ripped off.

    • cougar party

      I heard that tour was total shit. My buddy went to it with his girlfriend because she really likes manson and had never seen him live. He played a venue in my town that I’ve been to probably around a hundred times and all tickets have always been the same price and GA.

      At the Manson show the GA tickets were more than usual and it was a lot more expensive if you wanted to go into the “VIP” area; aka the fucking bar which is about half the venue. Total cash grab.

      My buddy said Manson sounded terrible and looked fat and haggard.

      • Anthony

        I saw him at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, an arena which holds close to 20,000 people. There were no tickets sold for the upper bowl, so only the lower bowl and floor had people in them, but even just those sections were less than half full. If I had to estimate, which i’m terrible at with large crowds, there was easily less than 4,000 people there. He also sounded like shit, was clearly intoxicated based on his in between song banter, took incredibly long pauses between songs to take a swish of beer or have his roadies bring him an oxygen tank to breathe from (I’m all for singers using oxygen tanks, but do it back stage in a timely manner or something and don’t do it for show).

        Worst. Concert. Ever.

        • cougar party

          That’s really suprising that he was playing an arena. The venue he played at here in Portland, OR (Roseland Theater) is only 1480 capacity and i believe it didn’t quite sellout. Probably would have if it was more reasonably priced.

  • http://www.myspace.com/thestarsthrewdowntheirspears Tim

    My guess is this studio wanted to capitalize on the Rob Zombie as a film-maker trend, so they went and got Manson instead (perhaps creating the trend out of one instance of “success”). Then, they proceeded to cut up and paste together the scripts from Natural Born Killers, Kill Bill, Wild Things, and Trick Or Treat (the old one with Ozzy and Gene Simmons), and rearrange them in no logical order.

    The logical explanation for why anyone would think this is a good idea is that they think other people will like (spend money on) it. This is the same reason that we have Disturbed, Nickleback, etc. However, I think I’m just going to choose to believe that they’re strung out on drugs so rare and extravagant that normal people haven’t even heard of them, because I refuse to believe that anyone can justify the disastrous concept behind this movie on plain old LSD, PCP, or meth (or any combination thereof), let alone with an unaffected mind.

  • soy el niño más bonito

    there’d better be boobs. s’all i’m saying.

  • http://www.hibernum.net hibernum

    The producers probably think Marylin Manson IS death metal. Why do I think that? Because I watched Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal.
    http://www.heavymetalhorror.com/turbulence3.html

    “Death Metal” singer Slade Craven was a Hollywood version of Manson, musically as well as visually. So yeah…

  • brian roach

    i actuallly don’t think the concept for the movie is bad, it’s basic silly horror genre stuff, but the stupidity of casting Manson (and Wood, who probably gets paid a reasonable salary for her roles, she’s sold B-list actress) is crazy, cause the only way these movies make money are from no name casts and the market for these kinds of things. just my 2 cents…

  • DemonicLemming

    Isn’t samurai stuff about as far away from the average death metal band as possible?

    Also, I can’t wait for all the uber-conservative neocons to point to this movie as an argument point to say, “Look, death metal is EVIL! It makes people control the minds of others in order to kill lots of kids! Ban death metal FOR THE CHILDREN!”

    And as long as Manson isn’t involved in any of the sex scenes, they might be passable, but seeing that pasty white zombie freak wearing less than a trench coat and a headscarf is cause enough for nausea, let alone seeing him sans clothing.

  • portaltotheotherside

    geez,in that picture he looks like one of those 80 year old women
    who get a bunch of plastic surgery and live in florida or new jersey

    i cant really rag on a guy whos boned rose mcgowan though

    • soy el niño más bonito

      he must be REALLY fucking funny

  • Chance

    Sounds like a pretty fucking dumb movie, Meh see how it is when or IF it comes out

  • portaltotheotherside

    the person who said nicholas cages sons band Eyes Of Noctum was decent-

    no theyre not,theyre absolutely completely awful terrible

    its like dimmu borgir played by 9th graders who just started playing

    theyre really really bad and totally cheesy

  • mvsiKb4Kvlture

    Wow, this is going to be douche chillingly cringe worthy. And I say that as a Marilyn Manson fan. In fact I credit listeing to Antichrist Superstar as a kid being part of what pushed me towards extreme music . . .

    but oh boy is this going to be a sad show.

  • slowmotion

    This is going to be a tough call, I love horrible, cheasy horror movies but I hate Marilyn Manson with a passion.

  • Dysenteric

    This sounds like the kind of movie that will land a load of Razzies, and rightly so.

  • http://www.myspace.com/severed Tonberry

    What’s the over/under on the crowd at the death metal show consisting of punks with green mohawks, chicks in bad goth makeup, and dudes who look like Bo Bice?

  • dederrdederr

    anything involving manson is guaranteed to be shit

  • Grymmbear

    So I wanna know is this…

    Which of these two 18 year-old chicks is Manson going to end up marrying in real life after the movie is over? For real.
