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.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
