Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins Star In Vampire Flick Together

If you’re going to the film portion of SXSW this year, you may just get to see the new vampire flick that stars rock legends Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins (and Moby). The name of the film is blatantly Suck, as it takes on the the attitude of heavy rock and roll and then the world of vampires which so many teens and have fallen in love with thanks to films and TV shows such as Twilight and True Blood. Other actors include Malcolm McDowell and Dave Foley (of Kids in the Hall) among other unlikely cast members.

This will be the sophomore release for director Rob Stefaniuk and although we’re wondering how in the world he managed to grab such a major cast, we’re a bit more curious about how these musicians will do with comedic timing on their part.

According to The Playlist (via Consequence of Sound), the plot can basically evolves around “a struggling rock band is searching for a way to launch themselves into the limelight so they turn to vampirism.” Hmm, we knew Alice Cooper would fit any vampire-like part based on his make-up but with Iggy Pop’s creepy (yet strangely satisfying) vocals and adrenaline of Henry Rollins, this could turn out to be a really awesome movie… or not.

If you’re thinking this sounds ridiculous, you’re right but that’s probably the most enticing fact about this film. Blood sucking rock and roll legends who star in a horror-comedy film? We can’t say we’re not intrigued at how this will turn out. Plus, CoS says it has a pretty kick ass soundtrack which includes some Lou Reed and David Bowie. You can’t really go wrong with music like that. Scene: Someone turns into a vampire. Song: David Bowie’s “Changes.” Okay, so we don’t know if a scene like that exists, but we’d call that great humor!
