The 13th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival is taking place from April 16 to April 27 in locations around New York.

“Super Duper Alice Cooper" is the twisted tale of Dr. Jekyll as a teenage rock ' n ' roll Mr. Hyde nearly killed him. It is the story of Vincent Furnier, son of a preacher who struck fear into the hearts of parents as Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre.
Since the arrival of Alice as a vocalist for a group of fans of Phoenix in the 60s to the hazy decadence of celebrity in the 70s to his triumphant return as a sponsor of '80s glam metal, let's see how Alice and Vincent battle for the souls of others.
Alice’s story is told , not only by the man himself , but through exclusive interviews with original band members Alice Cooper , 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, the producers of "Iron Maiden: Flight 666 " (SXSW 2009 Audience Choice Winner) and " Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage " (2010 Grammy - nominated and Tribeca Audience Choice winner) and Reginald Harkema highly acclaimed filmmaker, winner of the Special Jury Prize at TIFF for his movie " Monkey Warfare”.
In an interview with Spinner.com 2012, Dunn Cooper said about the film: "We know Alice through various projects we have done interviewed Alice for ' Headbanger’s Journey ' has also featured quite prominently in two episodes of [the new ... innovative documentary series ] 'Metal Evolution' , in [ the ] shock Rock and Early metal U.S. [ episodes ] . 's a very fascinating character who has been through a lot in his life.
He is one of those musicians maybe he hasn 't had a hit in a long time , but everyone knows that Alice Cooper is because of its influence on pop culture and the big songs he had in the 70s.
"We're exploring a different stylist approach with this film is not going to speak heads. Gonna be a file and animated journey through his career.
“He is a rich visual artist that makes so much sense to try to do it differently.
"I think we're a little sick of doing talking head interviews, to be honest [laughs], after making 300 of them for 'Metal Evolution.' So it's really the story of Alice 's career from the 60s to 80 and everything went through - the ups and the downs , battles with alcoholism , raised in a Christian family, rebelling against that, but then return to the faith later in his career, and moves from city to city, and trying to find their place . "
The Alice Cooper’s latest album, “Welcome 2 My Nightmare ," sold 18,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 22 on the Billboard 200. Cooper’s previous CD, 2008's “Along Came A Spider”, opened with just under 10,000 copies to land at No. 53.
Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original multi- platinum "Welcome To My Nightmare" album in 1975,” Welcome 2 My Nightmare" picks up right where they left off , with Alice trapped in his own warped mind .
