Repo! The Genetic Opera
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but Repo! is one of the movies I’ve most looked forward to in years. I mention it now because there is a new trailer just released.
Repo! The Genetic Opera is a new musical from the director of three of the Saw movies, Darren Lynn Bousmann. The gist: A worldwide epidemic encourages a GeneCo, a genetic engineering company, to launch an organ-financing program similar to getting a loan for your car. However, the repossession clause is a killer. Mwahahah!
Starring the incredible Tony Head (of Buffy fame) as the Repo Man, his voice is just one of the many things 
this film has to offer – I can’t recommend his album, Music For Elevators enough. Sarah Brightman is marked for repossession and Paul Sorvino plays the head of GeneCo. Paris Hilton also appears in the movie, but don’t let that put you off too much – she’s been getting good reviews.
It looks to be a kind of cross between The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Saw and I am dying to see it.
Released in August in the US, there is no release date for this side of the world yet, but hopefully it will be around the same time.
You want more?
And Saw?? Um, like Slasher gore?
That Looks Class…Kinda Like A futuristic Sweeney Todd ha…first I’ve heard of it and I really wanna see it now!
@Jo Oh yes!
@Sean I’ve been trying to locate the soundtrack. Any ideas?

YouTube sucks for these cool things Bah
@Christian Yip – pain in the ass. I’ll see if I can update the links.
Btw, I got to see the movie itself about three weeks ago. It’s fantastic. Tony Head is brilliant in it. Even Paris Hilton is quite good.
