Rolling Stone reports that John Roecker will write and direct Live Freaky, Die Freaky, a new stop-motion effects/puppetry movie. The premise is, “Set in the future, the twisted tale follows a young man who discovers an old copy of Helter Skelter (former Los Angeles D.A. Vincent Bugliosi’s account of Charles Manson’s killing spree) and decides to interpret it as a biblical tome. Mayhem ensues as the only humans left on earth become the faithful followers of their own mad messiah, Charles Manson.” Providing voices for the film will be Viggo Mortensen, Asia Argento, Rancid’s Lars Fredrickson, Good Charlotte’s Benji and Joel Madden , Blink-182’s Travis Barker, A.F.I.’s Davey Havok, and Kelly Osbourne,with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong providing the voice of Charles Manson. Many of these artists are also expected to contribute to the soundtrack. “It’s really about how man misinterprets everything for his own needs, whether it be the Bible or the Constitution…I believe in the art of being absurd,” says Roecker. Live Freaky, Die Freaky is due out this Spring. Thanks to Dark Horizons for the notice!
