'Super Duper Alice Cooper' Explores the Mythology of Rock's Jekyll and Hyde — billboard.com

You wouldn't expect a film about Alice Cooper to be a normal documentary, would you? Of course not. So here comes "Super Duper Alice Cooper," an authorized project that its makers -- Banger Films, the folks behind "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage" and "Iron Maiden: Flight 666," among others -- have dubbed a "doc opera." "They came to us and said, 'You can't just do a documentary on Alice Cooper. You've got to make it something that's as theatrical as the character,' " Cooper tells Billboard. "I said, 'I agree with that. What's your idea?' And they said, 'We love the idea of a Jekyll and Hyde thing, 'cause you are Jekyll and Hyde, basically. The guy who walks around all day and does interviews and plays golf and goes to church, that's Dr. Jekyll. And your stage character is Mr. Hyde.' I said, 'Well, I love that. That's great.' And it certainly is not going to look like everyone else's documentary."
