Marilyn Manson stars in a short comedy film called Wrong Cops, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France earlier this month. He recently said that playing a “street hustler” with braces was a fun experience. In the film, Manson’s character has an awkward run-in with a weed-dealing cop, played by Mark Burnham, at the worst possible moment.
As the cop starts questioning him, the topic of music comes up, and Manson’s character ends up getting basically kidnapped by the rogue officer, who forces him to listen to something “cool.”
That “cool” thing turns out to be a Techno vinyl record that the cop has at home. Luckily for Manson, the officer’s mom provides just enough of a distraction for him to make a run for it. But is he really in the clear? The short film wraps up with the words “To be continued…”
Wrong Cops was directed by Quentin Dupieux, with music by electronic artist Mr. Oizo.
Watch Chapter One above. This is easily one of the most awesome things you’ll see this year! And honestly, we’d love to see Wrong Cops turn into a full comedy TV show in the future.
