Watch Shia LaBeouf's NSFW Marilyn Manson Video
by Gregory Burkart
Septmember 1, 2011

Not too long ago we passed along the shocking news that Transformers star Shia LaBeouf expressed interest in directing a documentary about controversial rocker Marilyn Manson... and this week a disturbing new music video has been released online that pretty much confirms Shia's story.

The short film 'Born Villain' features Manson at his most intense, and it's most definitely not safe for work viewing (or for viewers under 18).

In an interview with MTV News, LaBeouf explained that the graphic and surreal video draws from many visual and storytelling influences, including Shakespeare, religious themes and surrealist films like Luis Bunuel's classic short Un Chien Andalou (familiar to a lot of horror fans for its explicit scene of a woman's eyeball being sliced with a straight razor), Pasolini's classic shocker Salo and Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain.

"We tried to make Manson's Un Chien Andalou macabre Macbeth," he explained. "That's sort of what that became."

The two clicked creatively after Manson watched Shia's video for 'Maniac' by the band Cage, saying that Manson "freaked the F out" (which is probably a very rare occurrence).

The actor also expressed his great respect for Manson's work... even if a lot of that respect came from his childhood fear of the artist. "I don't know of a scarier figure in art," he admitted. "He, in my teenage years, was the scariest thing in the world, so part of me has always been intrigued."

WARNING:

The Music Video 'Born Villian' is for Mature Audiences.

It contains scenes of nudity, sexual acts, gore, and violence.

Marilyn Manson Sets 'Born Villain' as Name of New Album
Posted September 2, 2011
By: Jonny B.

Marilyn Manson has dubbed his upcoming album 'Born Villain'.

Considering that was the name of the song released yesterday, I don't think many people are surprised by this.

He also posted on his official website a short blurb detailing the work that he has done with actor Shia LaBeouf:

"'Born Villain' is the title of the new Marilyn Manson album. While looking to experiment in unlikely collaborations, I met Shia, and we spent a long night at my studio.

After seeing 'Maniac', his short film, which is somewhat inspired by 'Man Bites Dog', I was astonished by his directing ability. So I shared quite a few of my favorite inspirations in art, literature, and obviously…film.

I was impressed with how Shia digested my world, and made what I'd like to think, is both an homage and a mockery of the history of Cinema. We ended up writing a short film, and just recently released a trailer.

The score is from my new album, and is, in the words of Macbeth, 'full of sound and fury.' I find the idea of a yawning MGM lion far more interesting than a roaring one.

You ask why we did this?
'No reason.'"
