Darren Smith explains, "In our twisted minds, we envisioned Pavarotti tenors belting out arias over a wall of industrial noise, while simultaneously hacking off body parts."
A serious buzz at cons nationwide. At recent Fantastic Fest screenings in Austin Texas movie goers showed up dressed up as the film's characters even before the film has been released confirming REPO!'s cult classic quality. There was such an overwhelming response to the sold out first showing that for the first time in Fantastic Fest history a second showing was added which played to a sold out theater as well. At the 2008 Rocky Horror Convention in Atlantic City, NJ The REPO! Trailer attracted huge crowds and great response. The trailer is proving powerful on YouTube also, as one of the most commented on clips this month.
This rock opera boasts an entirely original soundtrack that blends equal parts goth and punk rock to form an eerie and powerful musical narrative. You can get a taste of what will be playing by visiting www.NotYourParentsOpera.com for a soundtrack sampler. All of the actors performed their own songs, and the music was provided by an all-star lineup that features performances from JOAN JETT, Richard Patrick (Filter), Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Clown (Slipknot), Ray Luzier (Army of Anyone), Brian Young (David Lee Roth's band), Sonny Moore (From First to Last), Richard Fortus (Guns & Roses), David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Daniel Ash (Love & Rockets), Blasko (Ozzy Osbourne), Tommy Clefetus (Rob Zombie's band), Melora Creager (Rasputina). Also lending her voice to the soundtrack is the edgy pop star Poe.
Actress Alexa Vega gushes over her experience working with JOAN JETT, "JOAN JETT is such a Rock Star. Truly legend! I was shocked when she walked on that set. She has such a presence...Thank God we had to do 30 takes because every time I got to relive a JOAN JETT Rock out in Shilo's bedroom."
In the no-so-distant future, a worldwide epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GENECO, a biotech company that offers organ transplants...for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by THE REPO MAN. By fusing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this futuristic tale of horror modernizes the "rock opera" genre with original music and rich, dark production design. For more information on the film visit www.repo-opera.com.
The digital version of the soundtrack will be available September 30, 2008. The CD will be made available in mid-October at events, signings and through the film's official website, with a projected wide release in January 20th, 2009.
