I Would Very Much Like To Keep My Organs

On November 7th a very strange movie will be hitting theaters.

Repo!: The Genetic Opera
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV) and produced by Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate, this futuristic horror rock opera stars Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), Paris Hilton (House of Wax), Anthony Head (TV’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Ogre (from the band Skinny Puppy) and world-renowned opera singer Sarah Brightman (Broadway’s “Phantom of the Opera”). By fusing Rocky Horror Picture Show and Blade Runner, this unique production will modernize the “rock opera” genre with original music and rich, dark production design.


I've been tracking this movie for a little while. I actually didn't think this would ever come out. But here we are in this crazy unimagined future. This is the story:
In the year 2056 – the not so distant future – an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants… for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men.

This sweet trailer

Original trailer that kinda sucks.

I for one really just want to hear Anthony Stewart Head sing to me. But I'm wary because it is labeling itself as a cult classic already. They certainly have one hell of a cast set up. Ranging from actual Broadway singers, opera singers, punk band heads, paris hilton, and Alexa Vega (who was actually on Broadway in Hairspray last summer.) I think I'm going to see it because I am a fan of the musical and for the sheer novelty. It will probably suck. It could be good. But we can all agree that we need more Anthony Stewart Head in our lives.

    Dammit, terrible B-movie musicals are my only weakness. Now hopefully it'll actually show in Phoenix.

    I have to say I worry about the parts that are non-musical.

    Something about signing just kind of makes it impossible to go too far over the top. I just hope the rest of the movie has enough humor to be fun and not just some SAW gore-fest. That's all that worries me.

    apparently it's only going into limited release in LA, NY, Las Vegas, and San Francisco before going to DVD nationally in January.

    early reviewing's been positive but I guess pretty much entirely confined to horror movie critics/websites.

    and the whole thing was shot and edited in 18 months basically

    not inspiring confidence ITT

    and on the other hand apparently it is entirely sung. There's no spoken word in the movie.

    this is the worst jerking around

    director of saw II

    rock opera!

    toture porn

    cool cast and idea!

    all but straight to DVD

    marketed exclusively to horror fans

    ehhhh

    I have a feeling if I see this I'll just be really disappointed at the direction they wanted to take it

    I'm not really getting much indication of humor

    Starting to think it's a lot of goth kids taking themselves way too seriously

    Backwards where did you find the stuff about straight to DVD?

    IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes seems to suggest a wide release.
