Marilyn Manson: film banned for excessive violence

Phantasmagoria is with his production drop

The acting career of model Lily Cole suffers a sudden attack - his last film was filed followed by a poor response to the violence of the trailer.

Viewers were shocked after the disturbing video of Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll leak on the Internet, with 22 year old playing Alice, a story about the author of Alice in Wonderland.

The studio chiefs have decided since then to close the entire project, which was directed by shock rocker Marilyn Manson and also starring Tilda Swinton.

A source told Britain's Mail on Sunday: "The trailer has caused such outrage that a decision was made to terminate the project. It is unlikely that he will see the light of day. "

The publication said the movie is now officially "suspended production indefinitely."

Soundtrack

Manson has mentioned that so far the music has been based around some of the score Chris Vrenna originally created for American McGee's Alice (incidentally, Manson himself was originally supposed to work on the "McGee" soundtrack. He intends to be working withTwiggy Ramirez, Tim Skold, Rob Holliday and Ginger Fish on the original soundtrack and previously unreleased Marilyn Manson's songs but has added that he doesn't want to over extend himself as he has other responsibilities, i.e. acting and directing. Madonna Wayne Gacypossibly contributed prior to leaving Marilyn Manson.

It's interesting that we can create scenes around the mood of certain songs. It's working in a different way than you normally would with film. I just started making music that ended up not fitting anywhere on any of the Marilyn Manson albums over the years, and I kind of collected it together. It's much more cinematic.

Marilyn Manson does mention the possibility of there being at least one unoriginal song used in one of his films: "There's a song that's a huge influence on the way the movie ends called 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache' by Roxy Music, and it very well might make its way into a film, which would be very odd because it's a '70s song in a 19th century film"
