The film will star the three aforementioned rockers, along with Eddie Ojeda of Twisted Sister, ex-Misfit Tiny Biuso, Rick Warwick of Black Star Riders/Thin Lizzy and Sin Quirin of Ministry.

"The Bridge is a rock & roll feature film about the rise of small town music prodigy, Luke Weaver, who faces the decision to choose life or continue down his steadfast path to self-destruction," reads the film's official description. You can watch a video for the campaign on YouTube.

Perks for contributors to the project include various signed merchandise and VIP tickets. The most expensive perk is a pasta dinner cooked for you by Santiago -- that will set you back $20,000. A portion of the campaign's proceeds will be donated to the Fender Music Foundation, which provides instruments to music education programs.

The Bridge campaign has a goal of $300,000. The campaign will close on January 1.

Last month, Iggy Pop launched a similar campaign to fund a horror film called The Sandman starring himself and directed by Italian horror legend Dario Argento. That campaign will close on December 2.
