\"aliceEagle Rock Entertainment transferred the release of Banger Film\u2019s Super Duper Alice Cooper<\/em> from theater to the Blu-ray and DVD format. The film chronicles Vincent Furnier\u2019s childhood to his taking on the mantle of the alter ego known as Alice Cooper. Originally premiering at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, the film was released in select theaters throughout the U.S. and finally debuted on Blu-ray and DVD.<\/p>\n

Vincent Furnier\u2019s life story is an interesting one. The son of a preacher, his journey to stardom was fueled by the angst of alcohol, drugs, psychosis and eventual madness. He eventually spent time spent in a state-run mental facility, where he tackled his alcoholic demons, but upon leaving and returning to music, Furnier discovered a new vice, cocaine. The film documents the journey of Furnier becoming Cooper and highlights how the man got lost in the character of the alter ego known to the world and fans as Alice.<\/p>\n

Fans are privy to archived footage and photos of Furnier, his early bands, such as the Ear Whigs and eventually the Alice Cooper band. From the \u201860s to mid-80s, we discover that Alice Cooper originally was the band\u2019s persona until it came to time to pin the moniker on Furnier. Eventually changing the group\u2019s dynamic and forcing Cooper in the spotlight to shine as a solo artist. The creation of Alice Cooper, a named derived from eerie use of an Ouija board, sets the stage for three decades of music and theatrics that has inspired musicians and fans for years to come.<\/p>\n

The film combines audio interviews and archived Alice Cooper footage, including TV appearances, movie cameos, dramatic headlines and magazine spreads. Featured interviewees include: Iggy Pop, Elton John, John Lydon, Bernie Taupin, Dee Snider and of course Alice Cooper. The Blu-ray experience includes deleted scenes, Alice Cooper interviews from Metal Evolution and additional rare footage. <\/p>\n

Dubbed as \u2018doc opera\u2019 \u2013 Super Duper Alice Cooper<\/em> \u2013 puts together key elements of interviews, photos and archived footage into a two-hour showcase that attempts to flesh out just who, exactly, Vincent Furnier and Alice Cooper really are. And while the two battle a contest of wills, in the end Furnier gains control over the madman known to the world as Alice Cooper.<\/p>\n
