MARILYN MANSON: Video Of 'Phantasmagoria' Press Conference Available Online

February 15, 2006

RooTV has posted a video clip with coverage of the press conference held in Berlin last Sunday (Feb. 12) for Marilyn Manson's upcoming film, "Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll". Manson paid a visit to the Berlin International Film Festival to drum up interest for his directorial debut, a surreal-horrific look at the life of English writer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his "Alice in Wonderland" pseudonym Lewis Carroll. He was accompanied at the press conference, which was held at the Berlin Marriott Hotel, by U.K. supermodel Lily Cole, who has been cast in the role of Alice in the film. Check out the clip at this location.

Manson, who will play Carroll as well as composing the score for the film, screened a teaser and answered questions from reporters. He described the project as a "gothic psychological horror film. ... I want to make a psychological horror film that is unlike the kind we see today," he said, according to the Hollywood Reporter. "I am more interested in making the kind of traditional horror that inspired what we see today."

"Phantasmagoria"'s producer, Wild Bunch's Alain de la Mata, said the $4.2 million film will begin shooting this summer. Casting is still under way. Manson confirmed that he had discussed the project with Angelina Jolie but said he was not currently in negotiations with her.
