'There’s a lot of film stuff that I’m doing that’s involved with the record. I have some ideas that may involve a lot of talented and unusual actors and directors. My favorite movie of last year was Rubber. The director, Quentin Dupieux, wants me to work with him in a film, and I want him to maybe do a video for the song “[[The Gardener]].” I can’t guarantee that will happen, but I really like the idea of not caring about the convention of, “Songs have to be three minutes and 15 seconds, and there has to be a music video for MTV.” That world doesn’t exist anymore."

== Reception ==
'Dupieux's latest oddity has had an interesting journey to the screen. It started out as a series of vignettes, the first of which received a quiet debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. Chapter one features Mark Burnham as Duke, a dirty, weed dealing cop, and Marilyn Manson as David Delores Frank, who is NOT a street hooker, because prostitution is wrong.' - ''[http://twitchfilm.com/2013/12/review-quentin-dupieuxs-wrong-cops-are-the-right-cops.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TwitchEverything+%28Twitch%29 twitchfilm.com]''

'“Wrong Cops” is creative and a pleasant deviation from the norm.
While some of Dupieux’s writing definitely provides “LOL” laughter, there are some weak points. Mark Burnham plays Duke, a cop that sells weed out of rats stomachs and commonly abuses citizens, but as a reoccurring role, his character is underdeveloped and I have no idea why he is often found in his underwear in his apartment with different men. This is where Marilyn Manson comes in playing David Delores Frank, and I must tell you it’s brilliant. Perhaps I’m biased as a fan of anything Marilyn Manson, but I almost didn’t recognize him as the clueless bystander who is unfortunately dragged to Duke’s house to listen to horrid music as Duke rages in his underwear. Again, I’m not sure what the motive is here, but it’s safe to say Manson’s confused attitude may not just be him acting (which he does surprisingly well).' - ''[http://www.unleashthefanboy.com/movies/wrong-cops-review/83138 unleashthefanboy.com]''
