Only a few years ago, Evan Rachel Wood was Lolita'd up, wearing heart-shaped glasses and having super-sexy sex on-tape with Marilyn Manson. It was one apt metaphor for a relationship between a couple with an eighteen-year age difference. Fast-forward to the present, and Wood has moved on, leaving Manson to do what he does best -- lather in controversial thoughts and stretch every boundary and opinion of decency. But this time, it's taken a new turn. His new video "Running to the Edge of the World" watches him sing with a tortured look in his eyes for a good four minutes before twisting into a domestic violence fest, a girl looking like Wood's doppelganger getting the living crap beat out of her and then looking around, scared, with blood dripping all over her.

After Daniel Radcliffe's trou-dropping Equus, Rupert Grint's wild Cherrybomb, and Robert Pattinson's sexy stint as Dali in Little Ashes, the world has been waiting with bated* breath for Emma Watson to continue the trend and fling herself out of Hogwarts with a sexy, adult role.

Of course, that means that The Sun has to do what they can to spark hope along. They say that the young actress, who has yet to appear on the big screen in a non-Potter role (she has one TV stint, a voice in Despereaux, and the upcoming Napoleon and Betsy on her roster), is going to head to the world of fairytales with Cinderella. Why would I then mention sexiness? It's a musical being schemed up by Marilyn Manson.

I imagine that this will stay firmly in the world of rumor and fan whimsy, whipped up from ideas about Manson's love and certain young blondes and Watson's lack of adult fare. Besides, she's got a lot on her plate as it is -- the two final stints with magic, her Napoleon romance, and university. Would she really add Manson to the mix?

... would you want her to?

My synapses are tingling! The gears are finally turning on Alejandro Jodorowsky's latest project, King Shot, which has been getting indie weirdos chattering since 2006 or so. According to ScreenDaily, it will begin shooting this October.

Jodorowsky is the director of such cosmically trippy films as El Topo and Holy Mountain that were only recently released in region 1 DVD format after years of legal wrangling with his former partner Allen Klein of ABKCO films. He's also a tarot card reader and, according to his bio, "has developed a mixture of psychotherapy and shamanism called Psychomagic."

A so-called "metaphysical spaghetti western," King Shot stars Marilyn Manson, Asia Argento, Nick Nolte, Udo Kier, and Alejandro's son Adan Jodorowsky (who was also in his father's film Santa Sangre). Nolte and David Freaking Lynch are executive producers. Lynch's Absurda production company is also the worldwide sales rep.

According to Hollywood Reporter, "Marilyn Manson is touted to appear as a prophet in the Sin City-style film, which producer Eric Bassett said has enough sex and violence to guarantee an NC-17 rating."

Sorry, have to take a breather.

Okay, I'm back.

There have been rumors for quite some time about a collaboration between Jodorowsky and Marilyn Manson, and in fact the director performed Manson's uber-goff wedding ceremony to Dita Von Teese. There was also talk that Manson and Johnny Depp would star in The Sons of El Topo movie, which was later changed to Abelcaín, but has been abandoned due to difficulties financing the project.

Of course, since there's hardly any real info about King Shot, it's possible that King Shot is Abelcaín aka The Sons of El Topo, but as with many Jodorowsky-related things, who the hell knows?

He's gone to the dark depths of the sea and the Alien reaches of space. He's traveled through time, delighted in spies and had cold, sinking romances. Basically, there's not much that James Cameron hasn't done. I mean heck, he recently was involved with that whole Jesus tomb thing, so it's only logical that he also do something on the other end of the spectrum. Since it might be a bit over-the-top to dig into the ground and try to find Hell, Cameron zeroed in on... Marilyn Manson.

Last month, a French music site, Charts in France, reported that the controversial musician was filming a new video called When the Heart Guides the Hand for his upcoming album, Eat Me, Drink Me. The kicker was that James Cameron would be directing the piece, using 3-D special effects that could be viewed without glasses. I'm not sure how all of that works, but Bloody Disgusting found a clip from the video that has Manson and a young woman covered in blood and making out while he runs his hands up and down her body. Now I can't tell, but is this person Evan Rachel Wood, the actress rumored to have led to Manson's split from wife, Dita Von Teese? It looks like it could be, and would make sense, since the title of the album reflects his upcoming horror film -- Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, which she co-stars in, and the song's title has a sense of wandering eye. Personally, I think if Cameron really wanted to spice things up, he should have been the bloody one making out with Manson.

I've seen some weird movies in my time -- or so I thought until I saw an Alejandro Jodorowsky movie. The director has a resume that includes tarot expert, mime, comic book writer and new age psychotherapist. His career as a filmmaker has been rocky to say the least: His first film incited a riot at it's premiere screening, and most of his other works have only been accessible through bootlegs and selected midnight screenings and festivals.

The director spoke with Premiere Magazine about the upcoming release of a DVD box set of his films including El Topo, The Holy Mountain, and Fando & Lis. The director oversaw the restoration of the films and said, "For the first time in my life I have the picture as I like it." Jodorowsky says he is currently working on a gangster project titled King Shots with Nick Nolte and Marilyn Manson as a 300-year old Pope. Manson is a huge fan of Jodorowsky and even had the director officiate his marriage to Dita Von Teese in a costume from The Holy Mountain. Jodorowsky has always had a rough time of finding investors, so it could be a long time before the project even gets off the ground. Until then, fans will have to be content to sit down with the box set and enjoy the insanity from the comfort of their living rooms.

With Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest set to hit theaters this weekend, I would look for every other post on Cinematical this week to be in some way related to Johnny Depp. Oh, but it's not our fault -- everyone is talking about the guy. Especially now that Superman is fading into the background, expect all Depp, all the time. Who is Captain Jack Sparrow? Is Captain Jack gay? The real Captain Jack? Why Johnny Depp hates red underwear? Trust me, it's all out there.

The latest in Johnny Depp rumors comes via a very interesting character. It appears Marilyn Manson is dying to get the actor to play a part in his upcoming directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. Speaking to VHI, Manson admitted that he has approached Depp and joked that, if he had to, he'd extort him into playing a role. Of course, we're to assume the rocker was just kidding ... or was he?

Pic is based on the life of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland. Apart from directing the film, Manson has co-written the script, scored it and placed himself in the lead role playing Lewis Carroll. While the flick calls for a variety of special effects, Manson has said they will all be done using a magician, instead of some wicked CGI stuff. Yes, a magician. No, I'm not joking. Personally, I think Depp would be great in a film like this, however, I'm not sure I trust this Marilyn Manson character. He seems a bit weird.
