IGGY POP to Play Serial Killer in Dario Argento Film ‘The Sandman’
13 October 2014Italian horror legend Dario Argento is making a new film, ‘The Sandman,’ and he’s recruited punk icon Iggy Pop to play the main role! Mixing supernatural folklore of the Sandman with a serial killer that takes on the character’s moniker, Iggy Pop will portray the evil being behind the mask.
Dario Argento has made some of the greatest cult horror films of all time, including ‘Susperia’ and ‘Inferno.’ The legend is crowd-funding his ‘Sandman’ project, hoping to raise a total of $250,000 to create and release the film.
Iggy Pop released a statement sharing his excitement to work with Argento. “I have long been thrilled and fascinated by the amazing films of Mr. Argento, all of which are master works,” Iggy says. “Yes, and also compellingly strange, beautiful, and full of relentless terror. If I could play the Sandman for him it would make my life complete. I hope I have not just written my own epitaph.”
Fans who help fund the film can receive some awesome stuff in return, such as a t-shirt, a personalized autographed photo from Argento and pages from the script. But hold on, fans who contribute larger sums can appear in a scene with Iggy Pop or even be killed in ‘The Sandman.’
‘The Sandman’ funding project has currently gained nearly $14,000 of its $250,000 goal. Fans will be able to contribute via Indiegogo until Nov. 8 at 11:59PM PT.
