SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Slash, best known for playing with Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver, is working on the score for "This is Not a Movie", an English-language film that takes place in Las Vegas. It was 100 percent independently financed with Mexican funds, Kung Fu said.

After filming several scenes in Mexico City's Estudios Churubusco, Rubio moved the production to Las Vegas.

"It's very cutting-edge, very artistic, and a little bit trippy", Slash told Mojo magazine about the film. "It's dark and jagged and a bit surreal, in and out of reality, you know?"

"The idea was to create a very eclectic psychedelic score with sounds generated by acoustic and electric guitars", Rubio said. "I was looking for a guitarist with the ability to create very emotional music, but at the same time, the freedom to use any type of effects to explore different sounds. Slash was interested in the project, and, so far, he has composed the music for six segments; we're very excited with his work."

The project is Rubio's second feature-length film, following the documentary, "So, what's your price?"
