Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood to star in retro slasher film

"Pineapple Express" director David Gordon Green and veteran producer Edward R. Pressman ("The Crow") are teaming to produce Adam Bhala Lough's retro slasher film "Splatter Sisters," which has Marilyn Manson and girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood attached to star, according to Variety.
Lough ("Weapons") is aiming to put a fresh spin on the horror classics of the '80s that initially inspired him, and if all goes according to plan, "Splatter Sisters" will be the first film in a franchise of sexploitation-serial killer/slasher-road movies. It's a rather novel idea that I'm surprised no one has really tried to experiment with before.
Lough hopes to create a subgenre he refers to as "Skinemax Cinema," based on the direct-to-cable movies of his (and my) childhood, even though Skinemax movies rarely featured any gore and were more like erotic thrillers than horror films.
