Punk rock legend Henry Rollins is starring in He Never Died, a cannibalistic thriller from Jason Krawczyk, director of the awesome-sounding short film Clown Holocaust. Rollins plays Jack, a man detached from society who prolongs his life by eating people. He attempts to change when his past returns to haunt him.

Rollins told Variety:

It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. As a character, Jack is perhaps far less than normal, which suits me very well.

He’s not all that bad a guy, which is different. I don’t get many of those. He is in a very rare and strange situation and I really want to be part of the action.

He Never Died started production today in Toronto. Video game voice actor Steven Ogg (Grand Theft Auto 5, Alone in the Dark) is also on board.

Rollins, best known for fronting iconic punk outfit Black Flag and his own Rollins Band, is no stranger to acting, and can be seen in string of genre offerings including Wrong Turn 2, Feast, David Lynch’s Dark Highway, the rock-n-roll vampire horror-comedy Suck, and Johnny Mnemonic.
