Manson 'will play Lewis Carroll'

Manson has had transatlantic hits including Disposable Teens
Shock rock singer Marilyn Manson plans to play author Lewis Carroll in a movie about the Alice in Wonderland author, Screen International has reported.
Manson hopes to direct the self-penned "arthouse horror" movie Phantasmagoria - The Visions Of Lewis Carroll.

He will attend Berlin's European Film Market to help fund the $4.2m (£2.3m) movie, the industry website said.

"What people expect from Manson, they're going to get here," said producer Alain de la Mata.

Video director

Manson, real name Brian Warner, has had transatlantic hits including The Dope Show and Disposable Teens and has directed his own music videos.

The 36-year-old has spent the past year working on costumes and make-up for the movie.

"He didn't want to wait for Cannes to do this, he's ready now," said de la Mata, who hopes to complete filming this autumn.

The European Film Market is part of the 10-day Berlin Film Festival, or Berlinale, which starts on 9 February

Somehow I see disaster written all over this.

So two cliches walk into a bar...

LOL hahaha well, that should be interesting *snigger*

"snigger" reminds me of Mad TV...Black, pulled over, hungry? Why wait? Grab a "sniggers!"

anywho...manson was originally casted for the role of "scarecrow" in Batman Begins...but um, who cares...

I know it will be shite, yet i will watch it anyway.

It is weird but I wouldn't decide what this is going to be like too soon. We've never seen him act or write anything but his own music so it may well do the part justice. Lewis Carrol was creepier then we might expect too; there are a lot of rumors about him being a pedophile for instance. I wonder if that will be addressed in the film and how?
