This thing is blowing my mind...

Bro just told me about this, I went online to check it out.

I smell a new Rocky Horror-like phenomenon (although some critics don't like it at all... what would we do without critics).

Repo! The Genetic Opera:

"A worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however".

The movie, based on the stage play, directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (of Saw II and III fame). Written by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich.

Starring (get this cast list!):
Anthony Head (GILES!!!!)
Sarah Brightman (Major OMG)
Alexa Vega
Paul Sorvino
Bill Moseley
Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy yo)
Paris Hilton (eh... yes... that one).

See? doesn't it blow your mind? It's bloody, gruesome, nasty, and totally cool. From what I've seen.
The soundtrack, well, I can't say anything yet, the only song I've heard complete is "Zydrate Anatomy" (which is sooooo good, industrial meets nursery rhyme) that tells the tale of the people's choice of drug in the movie.
The official site:

Yoshiki was involved with the music recordings, actually, the whole thing is like name-dropping of punk/alternative/industrial/j-rock/opera-like artists, I saw some vids of them all recording at yoshiki's home studio (he was there being all angsty-looking XD) on the official site, pretty funny.

But man, Sarah Brightman... I can't get over it. She surprises every-freaking-time, she's so cool.

Anyway, when I get my hands on this movie, I'm gonna see it for sure.
