Marilyn Manson to star in Party Monster movie

Marilyn Manson is to appear in a new film called Party Monster.

It is set in early 1990s New York and based on the story of nightclub organiser and murderer Michael Alig.

Manson will play a character called Christina.

Macaulay Culkin will play Alig and Seth Green also stars.

Alig was a Club Kid party organiser whose extravagant lifestyle took a downward turn when he boasted on television he had killed his room-mate, drug dealer Angel Melendez.

The movie will be produced by the independent Killer Films.
