On his Myspace Page director Darren Lynn Bousman updated fans looking forward to his crazy musical REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA with the news that he’s less than a week and a half away from shooting, along with some other tidbits:
…ONE week and one day, before cameras start rolling on REPO OPERA – but who is counting!!!! On top of that all the music has been recorded, and is sounding AMAZING!!!! I have become addicted to it – everywhere I go I find myself humming, singing, and or BREAKING out into song… It’s actually quite annoying – my life has become a musical!!!!
It’s fucking insane to see the sets going up… they are HUUUUGE!!!! We are building the entire world of REPO on this massive sound stage. These are the biggest sets I have had the pleasure of working on. Much much much bigger than anything we ever built for SAW.
Rehearsals have begun, and the cast have all arrived… I will and can confirm some internet rumors. Both Bill Moseley and Kevin Ogre (Skinny Puppy) have joined the cast officially!!! They are both BAD ASSES!!! There are still three cast members who have yet to be announced! Hopefully I can spill the beans sometimes next week!
I feel like a kid in a candy store right now! This movie is so exciting!!!!
Glad he’s enthused, I’m actually truly intrigued by this project. The fact that there’s a similar project set up at Universal (no singing, but it IS called REPOSSESSION MAMBO, so maybe there’s some dancing) only adds to the interest in this weird little movie.
REPO! star Alexa Vega. Yep, she used to be a Spy Kid.
