However, in 2010 Universal Studios released a blockbuster film entitled Repo Men. Along with the film’s writers and creators, Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich (who also stared in the film as the Graverobber), Bousman took it to audiences directly and soon found a cult following. With limited promotion for the film, Bousman took the film on the road.
The film featured a dystopian future where a mega corporation would happily loan money to people for organ transplants and then send repo men after those organs should they miss their payments. However, Lionsgate didn’t do a great deal for the film before release either, with it being over 90% financed by the movie’s director, Darren Bousman (best known for the Saw movies). In 2008, Repo! The Genetic Opera was released on just 11 screens and little fanfare from Lionsgate, the film’s distributors. Despite that, it seemed like an interesting story worth recapping. However, I was unaware of this story when it happened because I came into Repo! The Genetic Opera later. Disclosure: As with the my previous post about Rocky Horror, I want to be up front that I am a major fan of Repo! The Genetic Opera.
