How to describe this film??

Darren Lynn Bousman (of “Saw” fame) will be directing a feature film (spawned from a 2006 short he directed by the same name and based upon a stage play - sound convoluted? Well read on…) and written by Terrance Zdunich and Darren Smith due out 7 November 2008 entitled “Repo: The Genetic Opera” and coined as a Rocky-Horror-meets-Blade-Runner rock opera/movie/musical. I think if Bousman is involved, it should read more like a Rocky-Horror-meets-Blade-Runner-meets-Freddy-Kreuger rock opera.

The plot, briefly, entails an epidemic of organ failures which has hit the planet, and biotech company GeneCo has decided to finance organ donations to save lives. How altruistic, eh? Of course, nothing is ever as it seems (particularly in horror films); therefore, should one fail to keep up with his/her payments, watch out for the organ repo man, employed by GeneCo to, shall we say, reclaim the company’s property.

This film stars Paul Sorvino, Bill Moseley, Alexa Vega, Anthony Head, Paris Hilton, and … Sarah Brightman?!. Just the cast alone has significantly piqued my interest, because, seriously, when will you ever again in your life watch a movie with Paris, Andrew Lloyd Weber’s ex, Otis Driftwood, Det. Sgt. Phil Ceretta, and Carmen from “Spy Kids”???
