Shock rocker Marilyn Manson’s Los Angeles home was the site of a raid earlier today.

Reports indicate there was a serious scheduling conflict, something akin to “a passion project” for Abdul-Mateen II. It’s worth noting however that the majority of Miller’s films (okay, pretty much all of them) end up with series delays, so, maybe that’s the true conflict.UPDATE- The following morning, a report from THR broke the news that Adbul-Mateen II has launched his…

What would it have been like? Dark, moody, impeccably crafted…and different, obviously, from the David Lynch film we ended up getting in 1984. Which, we’d…
