i haven't heard that 1, Alp, but i read somewhere that Manson's band has used scenes from Jod's films projected on stage in back of them while performing.

hi Alp, yes we're alive, though sometimes barely...
I actually heard that Marilyn Manson was going to act in Jodorowsky's next movie "the Son of El Topo", I'm just not sure where I got this info, nor which part he'd play. I'll let you know as soon as I remember, it was somewhere online...

This project has been knocked around for quite some time, actually, particularly because of Jordorowsky's longstanding feud with Allen Klein (that LA Weekly article also explains that this feud is the reason we still don't have "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain" on DVD.)

As for Manson funding "Sons," I don't think it's going to happen. Manson was supposed to make a film based on the "Holy Wood" LP, but when that album flopped, it became clear to the money men in Hollywood that Marilyn didn't have quite the hold on American pop culture as was previously assumed (and thank either God or Satan for that, because I'm sure it would have been a left-hand path version of "Under the Cherry Moon" if that movie DID get made). And Jordorowsky's ideas are, to put it mildly, pretty expensive, and would cost more than what Marilyn could afford to sink into a project as esoteric as this. Granted, if Johnny had gotten involved with this, it would be a different story. But Marilyn alone does not possess enough star power to float this boat.

another question for anyone who can answer...does Alejandro pronounce his surname the Spanish way (Hodorowsky) or does he pronounce it the Russian way (Yodorowsky)?
