GeneCo from Repo! The Genetic Opera!

Repo! The Genetic Opera!Five weeks after Repo! The Genetic Opera! wrapped production, director Darren Lynn Bousman reports that a first cut of the film in is the can. And while that is a cause for celebration, Bousman is becoming more unsure of what the audience for this musical horror film might be.

“The truth of the matter is - I have no fucking CLUE what the public and movie goer is going to say about this movie…” Bousman writes in his latest blog entry. “As I have said numerous times - this isn’t SAW… Nor is it SWEENY TODD… It’s a hybrid of horror, comedy, and good old fashion ROCK and ROLL!”

Bousman hopes to garner a Rocky Horror-ish response, with people singing in the theaters.

“[that] is my TRUE dream of the this movie… That I walk into a theatre somewhere and hear the audience singing along to ZYDRATE ANATOMY - or WE STARTED THIS OPERA SHIT…”

  • Where are these quotes cited from? aka Darren Lynn Bousman's blog? I've found the one of FEARnet, but it hasn't been updated since May 14th. Thanks.
  • Nevermind, found it. It's on his MySpace page (unfortunately). You can find it at http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=bl...

    I'm still not sure about this movie. It does look extra crazy and out of this world, but there's something about the clips that I've seen that make me want to hold back and wait until it's on DVD to see.

    "Phantom of the Paradise" this is not.

    Who the hell greenlit this? I remember when Paris Hilton was on Letterman post-jail and told him she was starring in this. It sounded so much like a straight-to-vid cheapo that the audience fucking belly-laughed at her.

    Somewhere the world's toilets flushed in unison.

    The storyline sounds very interesting. It's at least an original story and not another remake and it's taking some huge chances. I'm totally following this movie and its growth.

    Hell, I'll give it a shot!
