As the skulking Graverobber in the modern camp sensation that is Repo! The Genetic Opera, he drew Alexa Vega to the dark side and gave Paris Hilton her neon painkilling fix. And it turns out he wrote half the thing as well. In our chat with Terrance Zdunich, he took us through the decade-long zigzag that is the creation of a sci-fi rock opera — including the not-so-sexy part where Lionsgate took one look at the film and ran the other way. He came clean about his Sarah Brightman geek-outs, his frightening brush with a Botox party, his hope for a Repo! comic book, and of course, his love of internet porn. More »

New gothpunk musical Repo! The Genetic Opera hits select theaters this evening with the sound of dissected organs hitting the pavement. Either you've never heard of this rock opera turned dystopian sci-fi story about organ repossession in the 2050s, or you're one of those internet fans who've been jamming to the 57-part soundtrack for weeks. It's one of those movies you'll either ignore or love, which is a sure sign it's headed straight for midnight movie status. Repo! is no-holds-barred outrageous, and Paris Hilton has a pretty major role. While it may not fit any comfortable niche in Hollywood, its bizarre charm will surely earn it a cult following. More »

Our favorite dystopian surgery movie, Repo! The Genetic Opera, has released a feature exposing the "scalpel sluts" of the future — those people who just can't stop hacking into their bodies and faces for new parts. Paris Hilton plays one of the many sluts who just can't get their fill of the surgery drug Zydrate. Her dual personalities on Repo come to light in this clip — one is the adorable "sweet" spokesperson for Zydrate, the other is a Zydrate junkie jonesing for the sweet relief that comes in the little glass vial. The clip also features the Zydrate song, which is by far my favorite Repo tune. More »

It's getting closer to the opening date of Repo The Genetic Opera, and these beautiful stills of a scantily clad Paris Hilton and Anthony Head (Giles) with his hands literally inside a screaming mans chest are rekindling my interest. I swore that I could love no other scifi musical like I loved Rocky Horror, but I'll be damned if Repo isn't making me smile and sing along, plus the idea that a corporation can "collect" back the life sustaining organs you purchase may be the next step once this economic crisis wipes out health insurance and Social Security in the future.

We’ve already seen the making of video for “Mark It Up,” one of Repo! The Genetic Opera’s whopping 57 musical tracks, but the finished product gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of organ factory GeneCo. In this tragically Anthony Stuart Head-free clip, we meet stab-happy Luigi Largo (frequent horror player Bill Moseley) and his lady face-wearing rapist brother Pavi (Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy). The pair toss organs, skewer and molest the female “genterns,” and argue over who will inherit their father's company. Be warned, the following features comedic violence, disappearing panties, and Paris Hilton. [IGN] More »

We should try replacing the pejorative phrase "spoiler warning" with something more celebratory — like "spoiler fanfare." To that end, we rejoice in a bunch of new pics from Death Race that let you know just how trashy this not-quite-remake of the Paul Bartel classic will be. We also celebrate new Clone Wars TV spots that show trainee Jedi Ahsoka being sassy. Plus new hints about Transformers 2, and possibly our first look at Paris Hilton in Repo! The Genetic Opera.

We're frantically spinning out some spoilers from the floor of Comic-Con, but we still managed to score some good ones. Like a revelation about the Star Trek movie's villain that could change everything. And a new X-Files 2 trailer that shows Mulder and Scully doing something we were told they wouldn't do.

Here's a glimpse into the family life of Anthony Stewart Head's organ-repossession man, from Repo! The Genetic Opera. He's locked his sad little goth daughter Shiloh, played by Spy Kid Alexa Vega, in her room. So she dons a black wig and pasty white face paint to jerk and dance around in her fantasy rock concert world, unaware that her father is out harvesting the organs of people who can't make the bank payment on their shiny new innards. This new clip includes a behind the scenes look at goth girl's rock solo "17." More »

In the future, organ failure is as common as a cold, and the huge company GeneCo has a monopoly on supplying humans with much needed organ replacements. But there's a catch: The minute you miss a payment on your new organ, GeneCo sends someone to cut the organs back out. Anthony Head (Giles from Buffy) plays the singing and dancing organ Repo Man in Repo! The Genetic Opera.. While I love Head, and his soulful pipes, from the look of the trailer this movie is trying way too hard hard for the cult favorite niche — it's seconds away from selling t-shirts at Hot Topic.

The website for Repo The Genetic Opera has gone live, which means we must be closer than ever to seeing this film in theaters instead of in dribs and drabs on the interwebs. I've been excited about this movie for a while, partly because it stars Buffy's Anthony Stewart Head as a freakish organ repo-man and partly because it's a bunch of people wearing fetish clothing, singing, and bathing in blood. It's sort of like Doomsday, but with more singing and fewer Scottish people. [Repo the Genetic Opera site via Whedonesque] More »

Darren Lynn Bousman's Repo! The Genetic Opera is one of the two organ repossession movies coming out this year, and now it's gone viral with a creepy-looking donation poster (jump below see it) urging you to give until it hurts. This "Warnerian-Rocky Horror-meets-Bladerunner musical" takes place in a future where massive organ failures plague humankind. But the sickly masses can ward off death by financing an easy-clone organ implant from GeneCo. If you can't pay when the loan comes due, a repo agent will yank your fancy new organs like a bad tooth. And it's an opera, of course. We've got the awesome repo poster below. More »

In the future, you'll be able to pay for new organs on credit, just like decorating your home. But what happens when you can't payoff the new body parts you've been enjoying? That's the premise of not one but two new films coming out next year. And one of them is a musical. Only in Hollywood. More »
