Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead and Slayer's Tom Araya have already been cast for the upcoming "rock and roll" silent film titled Gutterdämmerung by Belgian-Swedish visual artist Bjorn Tagemose. So why not add in modern rock royalty vocalist/guitarist Michael Poulsen and guitarist Rob Caggiano of Volbeat? We've heard that there are going to be even more people cast in this, so we'll keep an eye out and let you know! Honestly, I was sold when I saw Lemmy was going to be in the film.
So what's the film about? Here's a refresher!
Much in the tradition of classic movies of 1920’s Hollywood, the film is mostly silent but instead of a lone piano a live rock band of rock express the emotions and action whilst special effects from the film explode to life all around the audience. Think of a deafening rock ‘n’ roll version of Secret Cinema taking place in hell and you might just begin to have an idea of what Gutterdämmerung is.
Tagemose has assembled the greatest cast in the history of rock movies; Grace Jones, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins (who co-wrote Gutterdämmerung’s script) and Eagles Of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes are just the first names to be announced with more truly legendary rock ‘n’ roll names to be revealed in the coming weeks.
This spectacular film will tour with it’s live band and a live narrator at the end of 2015 / early 2016.
Right. Just in case you weren't extremely stoked on this one.
