Marilyn Manson teams-up with Harry Potter star

Marilyn Manson has apparently cast Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince star Emma Watson for the lead role of his upcoming film adaptation of Cinderella.

According to The Sun, Manson's remake of the children's classic will be a musical and will require Watson - who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry potter films - to make her screen debut as a singer.

In related news, Manson's debut film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll which starts British model Lily Cole and his ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, will be released next year.

His Music Career is faling miserably after

A) The High end of Low

and

B) His performance at download!

So he thought he'd have a go at this Cinderella thing!
To make some money

Oh and I ve been meaning to get something off my chest...
Quite a while ago now Marilyn Manson insult MCR

Now I have a theory that this was because a couple weeks before Alice Cooper ( the Godfather of Shock Rock.... without this guy Marilyn Manson wouldn't exist) in a kerrang Interview complimented MCR saying that them and The white stripes were Like the best bands around or something like that.... anyway Marilyn Manson was obviously Jealous that the guy that He copied eveything off of was compimenting MCR.... so Marilyn thought he d accuse MCR of copying him!

Manson is jesus, alice cooper is a demi-god and ozzy is god. despite all the shit bout manson recently, he has made sum kickass music, which i fink rivals alice and ozzy in many ways, he has an awsum autobiography and he just looks cool. though this news is just so not true,,,

Get your facts straight Ollie, Manson being nothing without Cooper WTF? Manson turned to shock in the music scene because he was sick of his life and wanted to punish everybody and stuff (read his autibiography, extremely good read)

and also THEOL is an excellent piece of music, ok undoubtibly not his best by a long way, but its much better than anything that MCR, Paramore and all them sorta bands have ever achieved.

His download performance wasn't that significant, its just the one most publicised in the UK. I think the majority of his shows are shit. I saw him at graspop in Belgium a few weeks later. He headlined the Sunday, came on stoned and/or drunk and slurred his way through the set. The single loudest noise the crowd made was not a cheer but a laugh at how much of a twat he was.
