Slipknot's Clown 'Burned Out' Directing Officer Downe Movie

(TeamRock Radio) Slipknot's Shawn 'Clown' Crahan says he almost burned himself out while directing upcoming film Officer Downe. The movie - based on the Man Of Action comic books - is Crahan's directorial debut and is scheduled for release in mid-2016. It stars Sons Of Anarchy's Kim Coates in the lead role - an LA cop who is killed in the line of duty but repeatedly resurrected and sent back to work.

Officer Downe also stars Tyler Ross, Lauren Velez, Reno Wilson and Bruno Gunn. The screenplay was penned by Man Of Action writer Joe Casey. Crahan tells 103.9 The Bear: "I got to make my first motion picture. It was PhD in six weeks. I made a Hollywood movie that is going to look like a very, very expensive movie. And I did in 21 days, 18-hour days for six weeks - the hardest artwork I've ever done in my life. It's awesome.

"I burned out, I gave all I've got. Hopefully it's a breath of fresh air for everybody. I'm giving everybody something that's a little extreme on the art, but nothing where you're like, 'Clown, you're taking too much artistic liberties to screw us all over.'"
