Nya tillskott till Mansons Phantasmagoria

Marilyn Mansons film Phantasmagoria har fått nytt blod. Tilda Swanton, senast sedd i den första Narnia-filmen och Evan Rachel Wood ska medverka i Mansons debutfilm om Lewis Carrolls liv. Manson har även diskuterat möjligheten att rekrytera Johnny Depp till sin film.



Phantasmagoria ska enligt Manson gå i Hitchcocks och Polanskis fotspår och efter sin debut planeras en filmatisering av tre Edgar Allen Poe noveller.

Manson beskriver sin vision om Phantasmagoria på följande sätt:

" I want to take the children’s story that we all know, and discover the horrifying roots that grow beneath every one of its childish metaphors. The characters may be absurd and wrapped in puzzles, but, the author himself is the story that I find painfully close to me. Lewis Carroll is far more complex than the world’s narrow perception of him as a quiet deacon, a mathematician and a loner, simply obsessed with photographing young girls. He was possibly one of the most divided souls living in his own hell that the world has overlooked."
