Last night was the premiere of Repo! The Genetic Opera at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. I was surprised by the people who turned out for it… so many unknowns and unimportants that I had to look up the cast list. Yep, that’s where they all came from. In fact, there are very few pictures of anyone who wasn’t in the movie — hopefully someone showed up for this!
If you’re like me, you’ve heard the name of the film and have no idea what it’s about. If the Internet Movie Database can be believed, it sounds like it could be interesting:
In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an 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 villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family’s mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.
Will you go see it? How about after seeing the “celebs” who saw it last night?
