Born Villain was 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 Marilyn Manson's eighth studio album, the film was intended as the record's promotional "trailer".[1]

Background and development

The idea for the film originated after Manson attended a private screening of LaBeouf's directorial project, titled "Maniac", with American rapper Kid Cudi. Impressed, Manson commissioned the actor to create a "making-of" video documenting the album's recording and production.[2][3][4]

Manson and LaBeouf produced the film throughout July of 2011 under the management of California-based production company Vanderson Inc.[1][5] On August 17, Sablan leaked the film's official website on his Twitter blog. The website announced the project's August 28, 2011 inaugural screening at the L.A. Silent Theater. Drummer Chris Vrenna has claimed that Born Villain is not a music video but "a full thing" based on a screenplay written by Manson.[1] He also mentioned that the film will contain short clips of the album and it's own score.[1]
