Jan. 9 [8:00 EST] -- No matter what parents in Utah think of him, Marilyn Manson has found a kind heart in filmmaker David Lynch. The "Blue Velvet" director has cast Manson and guitarist Twiggy Ramirez in a mock porno film that appears in Lynch's upcoming "Lost Highway."

In vintage Lynch form, the film involves a tormented jazz musician, a randy car mechanic, and Patricia Arquette in two roles (or are they the same woman?).

The "Lost Highway" soundtrack was coordinated by Nine Inch Nail Trent Reznor, who did the same duty on Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers." The film opens next month, and Arquette says Lynch's love of music was only too evident on set.

"He directs musically, he'll listen to certain kinds of music in one earphone, while he'll listen to the scene and watch it," Arquette told MTV News. "He already has his music picked out for certain parts and he writes music... The way he directs, is mostly musically."

The "Lost Highway" soundtrack will feature three new Nine Inch Nails tracks, including the first single "Perfect Drug." "Lost Highway" also carries contributions from Smashing Pumpkins, Lou Reed and David Bowie.
