Marilyn Manson Forming Death Metal Band for ‘Splatter Sisters’
Super bizarre news out of Cannes revealed that veteran producer Edward R. Pressman (The Crow, American Psycho) and filmmaker David Gordon Green would teaming to produce Adam Bhala Lough’s retro slasher film Splatter Sisters, with Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood attached to star. The pic will be a sexploitation-serial-killer-slasher-road-movie circa 1989. MTV, intrigued by the news, caught up with Pressman who revealed something I find pretty effin’ cool.
While Marilyn Manson is known to us as a “shock rocker”, his role in Splatter Sisters turns him to a new genre, with a new band!
“Marilyn is a death metal rocker, which is a different kind of music than he’s known for. He’s going to form a new band for the film… that would record or tour for this new entity,” Pressman told MTV.
Also intriguing is the idea of seeing Manson’s on-screen chemistry with Wood, to whom he is engaged.
“Evan is one of these two Splatter Sisters. They’re… totally alienated from their families, who are not good to them, and they take on a vagabond life. They’re on the road… to go to Hollywood. They’re fans of Marilyn’s band and become indoctrinated under his spell in the movie.”
Earlier reports had Lough stating that Splatter Sisters could create a subgenre, which he calls “Skinemax Cinema,” based on the direct-to-cable movies of his childhood.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
