Holy crap where do I even start? Ok, I've been waiting for this movie since last year. It's directed by Darren Lynn Bousman of Saw fame (also from Overland Park, just south of where I live in Kansas City) and produced by the same studios as Saw. Repo is a gothic rock opera, and might I say it's one of the most badass things I've seen in a loooong time.
Right now, Darren and his co-creators are trying to garner enough support for the movie for a major theatrical release, but for now they're doing a small 8-town road tour. Kansas City was their 4th stop, and according to the site, the only three left are Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Orlando. Though I hear Toronto was also added to the schedule, but I don't know if that show has passed or is coming up.
I just got back from seeing them today, and I got to meet Darren and the co-creator Terrance Zdunich (also stars in the movie as the grave robber. In the trailer, he's the one in the dumpster who says "take it slow.") They are such awesome people and I got a lot of !@#$% signed like the dorky little fanboy I am, and just the rush from the whole night has yet to go away. So, I highly suggest this film to anyone.
here's the trailer.
Oh, also, cookies to anyone who can guess who the woman with black hair who says "One more hit, for the show. Make it fast..." is played by.
