- This article is about the short film. For the album, see Born Villain (album)
Born Villain is a short film directed by actor Shia LaBeouf in collaboration with Marilyn Manson. It was released on August 28, 2011, during its inaugural screening, at the L.A. Silent Theater. Produced as an accompaniment to the Born Villain album, the film was intended as the record's promotional "trailer".[1]

Background and development
- for a complete overview of the accompanying album see Born Villain (album).
Template:Quote box The idea for the film originated after Manson and LaBeouf struck up a friendship at a concert of The Kills.[2] The actor, who "has always been intrigued" with the singer, then offered to direct his next music video.[2] In order to convince him, LaBeouf gave Manson a screening of Maniac — his directorial collaboration with American rappers Kid Cudi and Cage.[2] Impressed, Manson commissioned the aspiring director to create a "making-of" video documenting the album's recording and production.[3][4][5]
Manson and LaBeouf produced the film throughout July of 2011 under the management of California-based production company Vanderson Inc.[1][6] The film borrows a variety of "very intense, graphic imagery" from an number of sources including Alejandro Jodorowsky's 1973 film The Holy Mountain, Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel's 1929 short film Un Chien Andalou, Shakespeare and theology.[2] LaBeouf explained that "we tried to make Manson's 'Un Chien Andalou' macabre 'Macbeth' — that's sort of what that became."[2] Manson, for his part, described his intention with the film as "both an homage and a mockery of the history of Cinema."[7][8] On August 17, Sablan leaked the film's official website on his Twitter blog. The website announced the project release date. Drummer Chris Vrenna has claimed that Born Villain is not a music video but "a full thing".[1] He also mentioned that the film contain short clips of the album and its own score.[1]
