With the present set to premiere on December 17, director Josh Boone has now revealed that Manson’s position as The Child has been reduce.
Explaining the choice to Entertainment Weekly, Boon stated: “Simply to make clear, Marilyn Manson and I had long-discussed him taking up the position of The Child in The Stand. He and the nice Shooter Jennings even recorded a killer cowl of The Doorways’ tune ‘The Finish’ that finally proved too costly to make use of. The present was made on a really tight funds and a number of the goals we had went to the wayside. The Child was one other casualty.”
He added: “When Manson wasn’t in a position to make it work schedule-wise, the storyline was finally excised and by no means shot, which is for one of the best, as nobody may have slayed that position like Manson would have. Hope to work with him sooner or later.”

Earlier this month, Marilyn Manson’s team issued a statement on the artist’s behalf in response to questions about his past relationship with the actress Evan Rachel Wood.
The response comes after Manson ended an interview with Metal Hammer in September after the publication requested about testimony Wood gave in entrance of the California Senate Public Security Committee in April 2019.
Wooden spoke in her testimony about an abusive relationship she had been in for a number of years with a person she met in her late teenagers. Whereas she didn’t specify who the person was, Wooden gave an analogous testimony about an abusive relationship to a House Judiciary Subcommittee in February 2018.
