Starring iconic punk singer Iggy Pop as a serial killer dubbed “The Sandman”, the sleek and contemporary thriller is set in the 21st century with deep and twisted primal roots stemming from the dark forests of Germany.
“I was thrilled to read the script, because I recognized right away, this one was written for me,” said Argento in a press release. “I’m so excited that for the first time in my career, I will be able to involve my fans so early in the process and have them play an integral role in my next film. Also, working with Iggy Pop is amazing! Such an interesting and intense personality! I would not even simply say “actor” that does not cover it. I would rather say ‘a unique presence’! Welcome to the unique world of The Sandman!”
The script was written by David Tully and Claudio Simonetti, Argento’s longtime musical collaborator has been tapped to compose the haunting score. Scott Weiland has crafted the song “Way she moves” which will be the title song for the film. The song was recorded by Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts and will also appear on their new record coming in February next year.
The campaign is looking to secure $250k. Want to throw some cash Argento’s way? Here’s the Indiegogo page.
