Thanks to Scifi Mafia for the heads up. La Times reported that the rocker will make a guest appearance on Tim Burton‘s ‘Dark Shadows‘ film portraying himself and singing his 70′s hit song “No More Mr. Nice Guy.”
Alice thoughts on the set of the film at Pinewood Studios:
“They should take that set and make it a haunted house next year”
And what he had to say about working with Tim Burton:
“Rock and horror and comedy work together, that’s something I’ve known a long time and people like Rob Zombie know, and Burton knows that too,” Cooper said. “Sometimes the comedy is disguised a little bit, it’s dark, but it is there. You can’t do horror and rock with a punchline in a way. There’s the absurd stuff and there’s just that delivery of the ’Oh!’ moment that is like a punchline. I just saw ‘Final Destination 5′ and I was laughing so hard. I mean, it was Wile E. Coyote, all these elaborate things leading up to this moment of impact… there’s something like that in our shows, too. Hitchcock would do it too. There’s the setup, the misdirect and then the delivery. Tim Burton knows it so well. He’s one of a kind. He’s a kindred spirit.”
