When SPY KIDS Go Bad: Alexa Vega Is a Punk Rock Girl in REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA!
Beaks here...
The ever helpful DDOG just passed along a link to a brand new behind-the-scenes clip from Darren Lynn-Bousman's REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA, which not only gives us a sense of the film's go-for-broke tone, but also lets us know that SPY KIDS' Alexa Vega is grown up and really into musical theater. Better that than Thunderbird.
Lionsgate is currently planning a limited release for Bousman's labor of love on November 7th. Set in a dystopian future plagued by an epidemic of organ failures, the sprawling story involves a sickly young girl (Vega) and her morally conflicted father (BUFFY's Anthony Stewart Head), who makes his living reclaiming hearts and kidneys and whatever from delinquent recipients. Paul Sorvino co-stars as the ruthless president of the leading provider of organs, GeneCo; Bill Moseley, Paris Hilton and Nivek Ogre play his equally ruthless kids.
The film still looks like it's all over the place, but since Brad Miska and Spooky Dan from Bloody-Disgusting are on the record as fans (the former called it a cross between BLADE RUNNER and THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW), I'm more than willing to give it a shot.

is it a musical?
-
Cuz that flick is kickass.
-
Sorry for the lame meme. But this movie sounds like it's all over the place. Usually I like it, but too much outrageous stuff might be overkill.
-
in the parlance of our time: Repo Man is teh shit.
-
Doesn't really give a feel for the movie. Maybe it could be OK. But how excited can anyone get with Paris Hilton in it?
-
I'm a superfan of Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime, so I'm a sucker for a rock opera anyway. The trailer looked good enough, and the music sounded okay.
-
LOL. Nice.
-
That's all I got.
-
That's all I got.
-
I like the retro punk misfits look of the footage!
-
I hope he has some good scenes and musical numbers. He's a great musician and performer. Now why the fuck is Paris Hilton in this movie?
-
I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing.
-
makes me seriously be ashamed of any of the Hollywood association I have in my work history.
-
It's 2008, you're not in the 4th grade. Get over yourself and go suck your best friend's dick, or whatever.

This topic is discussing very hot at *** ［ JSeniorMatch. c om. ］ ＊＊＊Some 30+ 40+ 50+ baby boomers like going there for discussing.

and house, children and car reposession. so much for waldos hawaiin vacation or whatever.
-
...take mushrooms.
-
music sounds good
-
As a Buffy fan, especially Tony Head's singing, and a Skinny Puppy fan since the 80s, I'm all over this. Looks fun, anyway.
-
The best and most weird part of the whole thing is at Ogre from legendary Skinny Puppy is in the film. Love the band and pretty much all projects he's been attached to, so this will be very interesting indeed!
-
This was crap when it was called "The Rocky Horror Show" and it's crap now. Unless Bousman is aiming for the niche market of fag hag's and drunken groups of 40 year old women who still love to 'do the time warp' before they stumble out into the night club car park and puke in the back of a taxi cab, then MAYBE just maybe, this derivative pap will find an audience. Then again, it'll probably be a huge cult hit. What the fuck do i know?
-
Not that I think about that kind of thing.
-
This looks terrible.Yes, my little bastards, it does. It SO does.
-
I just can't bring myself to watch a film with her in it. Not that I'm judgmental or anything.
-
Swear to god Eddie. She's not the main star (I'd say probably about 15-20 min of screentime), sings well, and since she's playing a spoiled heiress it's hardly out of her league. But she's definitely not a weak link in the film, and I say this as someone who would cheer at her demise.
-
...looks pretty interesting.But wait...you've got the wrong organ mate!Booyah, another kidney for me pie.
-
I hated those movies!
