Why ALICE COOPER Decided To Open Up About His Drug Addiction In 'Super Duper Alice Cooper' Movie

May 1, 2014

Artisan News spoke to legendary rocker Alice Cooper about the new documentary "Super Duper Alice Cooper" and why he decided to open up about the depth of his drug-addiction despair at the height of his success. You can watch the chat below.

"Super Duper Alice Cooper" hit theaters nationwide beginning April 30. It is presented by Banger Films, in association with Eagle Rock Entertainment, and distributed to theaters and venues by SpectiCast.

"Super Duper Alice Cooper" is screening in over 250 U.S. cinemas and venues following its April 17 premiere. A special pre-recorded "Keep Calm & Just Ask Alice" question-and-answer session and welcome from Alice is included exclusively with each screening.

"Super Duper Alice Cooper" is the twisted tale of a teenage Dr. Jekyll whose rock 'n' roll Mr. Hyde almost kills him. It is the story of Vincent Furnier, a preacher's son who struck fear into the hearts of parents as Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre. From the advent of Alice as frontman for a group of Phoenix freaks in the '60s to the hazy decadence of celebrity in the '70s to his triumphant comeback as '80s glam metal godfather, we will watch as Alice and Vincent battle for each other's souls. Alice's story is told not only by the man himself, but through exclusive interviews with members of the original Alice Cooper band, Elton John, Iggy Pop, John Lydon and Dee Snider.

"Super Duper Alice Cooper" is the creation of Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn at Banger Films, producers of "Iron Maiden: Flight 666" (2009 SXSW Audience Choice Winner) and "Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage" (2010 Grammy-nominated and Tribeca Audience Choice Winner),and much-lauded filmmaker Reginald Harkema, winner of the TIFF Special Jury Prize for his film "Monkey Warfare".
