King Shot In Production


It's coming. It's finally coming. Jodorowsky has come down from the Mountain after meditating for God knows how long, slayed the demon king of that mountain, had the camera found in the demon's belly blessed by a team of half-naked Hindu guys and is know in the production phase of King Shot.
I seriously believe that is how Jodorowsky prepares for a movie. Because he is that cool.
So for those of you who don't remember when I informed you of this monumentous event. King Shot is a "mystic spagetti western," featuring a casino in the middle of the desert, Marilyn Manson as a 300 year old pope, a giant skeleton, a beetle for a narrator and David Lynch producing. None of this really shocks me, except for the David Lynch producing bit which is freaking awesome. For my grandparents, who might find this shocking, or even blasphemous, I suppose it kind of is but I'm familiar with this guy and Jodorowsky has been wanting to work with Manson for awhile, and I'm going for Jodorowsky anyways. Manson is just sort of there.
So the question is, when is this movie going to be released and how am I going to be able to see it as soon as humanly possible. My guess is that it's going to be at Cannes, but I highly doubt that I'll be able to make it for Cannes this year. My closest idea is that the Princess Cinema will be playing this. They sure as heck aren't showing it in my neck of the woods. I'll be writing back as soon as I figure out where it's being shown.
