Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and Moby are among the musicians set to star in a new vampire film called ‘Suck’, reports The Guardian.
Slated to be a vehicle for comparison between the music industry and blood-sucking, the movie also is rumored to be ridiculous. Moby plays character Beef Bellows, lead singer for the band Secretaries Of Steak, and has 45 “important” words before getting eaten.
