Well, in some alternate Quentin Dupieux universe, full of non-sequiturs and ironic detachment, this completely makes sense. Fresh off news of the Cannes Directors' Fortnight line-up earlier today, which listed Dupieux's short film "Wrong Cops" alongside many other exciting offerings, it seems the director found fit to reveal his star on Twitter.
“Wrong Cops (Chapter 1) starring Marilyn Manson!” tweeted Dupieux earlier today, raising a number of questions with just one sentence. The notion of additional short films based in the project's world, the ambiguity as to whether the film ties in with his festival film “Wrong” which premiered at Sundance in January, as well as just that casting announcement in general. Manson is actually no stranger to acting, having taken roles in “Party Monster,” “Jawbreaker,” and David Lynch's “Lost Highway,” so he's more than capable of handling whatever out-there material Dupieux has thrown his way.

Short films are a great way to fill some of your free time, especially when you don’t have enough space in your extremely hectic daily schedule for a full-length feature. With that in mind, take a gander at director John Gorman’s short flick “Delia”, which stars Jen Nikolaisen, Keith Coogan, John Gorman, Michelle Renee Allaire, Jeff Coatney, and Gena Shaw. The film is about, and I quote, “a henpecked husband tries to fix his marriage with his hateful wife, but an armed intruder interrupts their cabin getaway, and the husband fixes his self-respect instead.” The damned thing is fairly fantastic, but then again, I’m a pretty big Keith Coogan fan, so my opinion may be somewhat biased. The entire movie has been carefully embedded below, you know, just in case you’re curious. Source: Keith Coogan’s Facebook Page...
