“Would you buy a car from this man?” Detroit-born Alice Cooper really needs no introduction. Still touring the world, with over 100 concerts scheduled in 2014, and hosting the internationally syndicated “Night with Alice Cooper” radio show airing five nights a week for over a decade, Alice shows no sign of slowing down.
Super Duper Alice Cooper is his story, from his beginning as Vincent Furnier, preacher’s son, through his transformation into Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre, striking fear into the hearts of parents everywhere. From the advent of Alice as frontman for a group of Phoenix freaks in the sixties, to the hazy decadence of celebrity in the seventies, to the winking comeback as glam-metal godfather in the eighties, watch in wonder as Alice and Vincent battle for each other’s souls.
The story is told in the form of a “doc opera,” a dizzying blend of documentary and rock opera that combines audio interviews with a bounty of Alice Cooper archive footage, concerts, TV appearances, movie cameos, newspaper headlines, magazine spreads, and many other visual elements have been cut out, layered, and collaged like a cinematic View-Master.
An exclusive pre-recorded Q & A follows the film…you can’t see it anywhere else but in a theater, and in Detroit, that means here, starting Friday, May 2.
