Has director Quentin Dupieux found his movie muse in Marilyn Manson?
Manson, pictured right, co-stars inDupieux’s latest opus Wrong Cops and the director has cast the shock rocker asa fashion photographer in an upcoming comedy that has already been shot insecret.
Manson plays an emo teenager named David Delores Frank in the film, but his next collaboration with Dupieux brings a very different challenge for the 44-year-old performer. The Beautiful People singer described his next character as ‘a combination of Kenny Powers and Karl Lagerfeld’.
Powers, of course, is the foul-mouthed protagonist played by Danny McBride on HBO’s East bound and Down, which Manson recently guest-starred on as a roller-skating waiter. Meanwhile, Lagerfeld is the famous German fashion designer known for his white hair and permanentscowl.
In an interview, Dupieux spoke highly of Manson’s acting abilities. “Now I can say he’s a really strong actor because we did something completely different, away from the character of Wrong Cops and away from his Manson thing. I wrote a new part for him and he played it with some new inspiration, and it’s amazing. It’sreally incredibly good. I can’t talk about it right now because it’s a secret project.”
