Huge Commercial Success: King Shot



Find enclosed a video interview with Chilean renaissance man Alejandro Jodorowsky. Jodorowsky, perhaps most famous for directing John Lennon's midnight movie favourite: El Topo, is thankfully /finally in a position to direct another feature after an absence of almost twenty years. Here, Jodorowsky discusses this new project, a metaphysical mobbed-up spaghetti named King Shot. Great title eh? Vid contains a deluge of concept art, sketching vivid pictures of Marilyn Manson's role as a 300 year old Pope, and the blighted wasteland he no doubt holds sleazy ego dominion over. The cad! King Shot is co-produced by David Lynch; who previously inherited Jodorowsky's ill-fated Dune project. Not the sets though, George Lucas stole them for Star Wars.
