That gothy little musical, Repo! The Genetic Opera, is hitting the road this summer. Click through for the big beautiful tour schedule. Here's hoping Director Darren Bousman and Terrance Zdunich (the long-haired Zydrate peddler) will both be on the road with the feature. More »

The goth-y movie musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, set in a sad dystopia where organ harvesting is common practice, has released a new song video-clip out into the world. Powerhouse singer Sarah Brightman haunts the screen as Blind Mag, who sings to her long lost god daughter and spits out holographic pictures from her eyes. The duet is titled "Chase The Morning."

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.

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.

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 »
