Noel Fielding is to play rock icon Alice Cooper in a one-off film for Sky with music by Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley as part of their Urban Myths series.

The Dali and The Cooper tells the incredible true story of Alice Cooper’s encounter with Salvador Dali in New York in 1973. Over the course of a few days, Cooper was invited to one of the most surreal dinner parties ever by Dali before being asked to pose in a photo-shoot for one of the world’s first holograms while wearing a tiara made up of $2million worth of gems while brandishing a shish-kebabbed statuette of the Venus De Milo.

David Suchet co-stars as Salvador Dali alongside Noel Fielding as Alice Cooper, Sheila Hancock as Gala Dali and Paul Kaye as Shep Gordon. Written by Roger Drew and Ed Dyson, the show is directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, produced by Krishnendu Majumdar and Richard Yee, with composers Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley.

The Dali and The Cooper is a Me & You production for Sky Arts. International distribution is being handled by Sky Vision. It will air in 2018
