Marilyn Manson is to star in his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.
The rocker will play the role of Carroll, famous for his Alice in Wonderland novel, in the feature, which is soon to begin production in France.
It is rumoured that Johnny Depp may also be part of the project, as the singer and the Pirates of the Caribbean star are friends. Manson told VH1, "maybe I'll convince Johnny to be in it - I'll extort him to be in it."
Manson plans to employ a magician to accomplish special effects that would normally be created with CGI. "I just want to be unconventional by being traditional. I think by being traditional, sometimes like a Hitchcock, it's almost modern, because people are so used to seeing special effects," he said.
