The most shocking rocker ever, told VH1, immediately after the 'Pirates of the Carribean' premiere, that he is ready to start shooting on his first cinematographic endeavor. The set for the film will be in France, where the artist is currently living. Manson made it no secret that he plans to 'extort' drinking pal, Johnny Depp into starring in it.

Marilyn intends to bring a new perspective to the life of Lewis Carroll, author of the children's book 'Alice in Wonderland'. He wants to focus especially on that period of time for which there is no biographical coverage. The rocker stated that he wants to be controversial by merely being traditional and that, instead of any special effects, he has already hired a magician to perform the 'tricks' live for the camera.

Manson is set to be as involved as possible in the new film and, besides working at the script, he will also be charged with the direction of 'Phantasmagoria', while using this opportunity to make his acting debut.

Rumors about other actors refer to Angelina Jolie as the Red Queen, Lily Cole, Tilda Swinton and even Rachel Wood as Alice and, of course, Johnny Depp. There is yet no date scheduled for the release.
