Corey Taylor and M. Shawn Crahan (Clown) are getting into the movie making business, and will unveil their new studio Living Breathing Films at this year's Sundance Film Festival. The duo plan on making movies that are just as fucking weird as the DVDs and music videos that Crahan creates for Slipknot.
The two talked with Rolling Stone, and said that their movie venture would be very hand's on, with Crahan directing while Taylor acts and help write the scripts. They also both plan to write their movies' soundtrack.
"Right now we’ve got a story and we’re getting together a working script," says Taylor. "We’re looking to basically break ground on it this year. We’re obviously going to make sure that it doesn’t conflict with the future Slipknot touring stuff. But it’s important for us to learn first before we just kind of jump in."
It could be a while before we actually get to see something that Clown directs himself, but they could hire another director and let him do the dirty work. By another director, I mean Rob Zombie. Because that would be sick as fuck, right?
It could happen:
"Obviously I’d love to do something with Rob [Zombie]," Taylor says. "I think that’d be sick for the three of us, being from such a musical background, to put something together that’s just fucking crazy and awesome to watch, but at the same time is a little disturbing."
