marilyn manson's phantasmagorian shut down

Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll - Teaser Traile
This looks so fucking amazing! I don't know for how many years I've looked forward to this, probs since 2006, yeah...

"On again. Off again. On again. Off again. That's been about par for the course concerning Marilyn Manson's idea for a movie called Phantasmagoria, which was to be based on Alice in Wonderland scribe Lewis Carroll. Everything seemed to have been in place. We even had a good cast consisting of Manson himself, Lily Cole, Tilda Swinton, and Evan Rachel Wood. Unfortunately things have hit a wall, yet again.

According to NME Marilyn Manson's directorial debut has been put on hold after a negative response to the film's violent trailer.

"The trailer caused such a backlash that a decision was made to close down the project. It’s unlikely it will ever see the light of day," claims a source close to the studio backing the film."
