Marilyn Manson wants Johnny Depp

Marilyn Manson begins production soon on his directorial debut, a film called Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, and wants his pal Johnny Depp to make an appearance in the movie. Manson jokingly told MTV.com, "In less than two weeks, I'm going to France to start production on my film...And maybe I'll convince Johnny to be in it -- I'll extort him to be in it."

Manson said that he and Depp are longtime friends and that he seriously plans to approach the actor about showing up in the film.

The shock-rocker co-wrote the movie and stars as Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. Constantine actress Tilda Swinton also has a role in the picture, which does not yet have a release date.

Manson has previously played small roles in movies like Lost Highway and Party Monster.

As for Depp, his summer blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, opens on July 7th.
