Repo! The Genetic Opera On Tour and On SG Radio

Repo! The Genetic Opera director Darren Bousman (see previous interview), co-writer/musical director Darren Smith, and co-writer/cast member Terrance Zdunich stopped by SG Radio HQ to chat with host Sam Doumit about the film's upcoming 13-city tour, which kicks off tomorrow in Salt Lake City and culminates in a special star-infused screening in L.A. at Laemmle's Royal Theater on Saturday, January 24th.

The bloodthirsty futuristic rock/horror flick, which you either love or hate (there’s no room for moderation here –– it’s hit more than one “Worst Film” list), first hit screens on limited release late last year, and has since gained a cult Rocky Horror-like following, with Repo-ssessed souls turning up to screenings in full costume with a word-perfect recollection of the musical’s lyrics.

Repo! boasts an unlikely ensemble cast, which includes Anthony Head (Buffy), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), Paris Hilton (‘nuff said), Bill Mosely (Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2), Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy), and musical/opera diva Sarah Brightman (for whom Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the role of Christine in Phantom of the Opera). The relentless rock/goth/industrial soundtrack features Richard Patrick (Filter), Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros), Daniel Ash and David J. (Bauhaus), and Poe, among others.

For those unable to experience an extreme big screen Repo! assault, the film comes out on DVD and Blue-Ray on January 30th. In the meantime, Bousman gave SuicideGirls this inside scoop on the film’s most notorious cast member.
