If you haven't heard yet, you are gonna now... Sit back, get yourself a coke or something, and listen... well read...
There is a new movie coming to theaters on November 7th called:
REPO THE GENTEIC OPERA
It is an amazing rock opera horror flick destined to win the hearts of gothy goths and alternative freaks everywhere... hell your mom might even like it.
The cast is more than stellar, with such talents as:
Bill Moseley - As Luigi Largo the psychotic killer with a rage to end all rages!
Ogre (yes the dude from Skinny Puppy)- As Pavi Largo, a self obsessed, mirror whore, who likes to wear womens' faces... yes you read that right, he straight cuts the faces off of women and wears them....
Paul Sorvino - As Rotti Largo The Head of GeneCo...
Alexa Vega - As Shilo Wallace a young girl who is just beginning to experience the world
Anthony Stewart Head - As Nathan Wallace Shilo's father with a violent secret
Terrance Zdunich - As Graverobber The illegal Z peddler
Sarah Brightman - As Blind Mag The opera singer with amazing digital eyes
And Paris Hilton (yes I just said Paris Hilton)- As Amber Sweet Rotti Largo's Scalpel slut daugher
The premise of the film is simply that in the middle of the 21st century organ failure has be become a world wide epidemic. Enter GeneCo who manufactures and transplants organs. The surgery is expensive, and so GeneCo offers you a reasonable payment plan. However, if you default on your payments GeneCo will send the Repo man after you, to collect said organ.
you may be thinking WTF?, or as the chatroom members would say FTW? But I assure you as a fan who has been helping promote this movie, it is full of awesome. The music is fantastic, all in all the movie is a total WIN!

As the film has been almost solely promoted by it's fans. Lions Gate Films - the company that put the movie out - has not been altogether supportive, And while they have produced promotion materials and what not, they haven't really done much else. Therefore the Fans have been blanketing their schools, their hangout spots, their families with Repo for months.
The Director Darren Lynn Bousman and Writers Terrance Zdunich and Darren Smith frequent the sites Message boards, and Chat room to chat with fans and remind them that they are wholeheartedly appreciative of their efforts.
Never have I seen movie directors/stars interact with their fans on this level... It never ceases to amaze me. The Fans are going to carry this movie to the box office and if they have their way the Repo Army as it has been dubbed will carry most of the nation with them in order to bring Repo The Genetic Opera the glory it so richly deserves!
My question however is this... How do you guys feel about movie producing companies not supporting the films they have created... there has been a string of fims that are not being advertised hitting the theaters lately.... What do you guys think?
