Time to kill some rumors - and make a few announcements! 2:24pm, June 18, 2008  Ok - so I am starting to see rumblings on the web - "WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH REPO?" We heard about his film YEARS ago - and still no release date - no trailer - NOTHING... First off - let me tell you I too feel your frustration. I wish it was out there for public consumption right now. But, sadly that is not the way it works. That being said, I have the advantage of knowing the release plan - and the next steps the movie is taking - so I can sleep a little easier at night.Let me start off by dispelling some rumors: THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE: There is a release date - and should be announced in the next couple of weeks. THERE IS NO TRAILER: The trailer is AMAZING!!! Come to Comic Con and see it unleashed in all it's glory! WE CAN'T HEAR ANY OF THE MUSIC: Starting in July we will start rolling tracks out for your listening pleasure! THEY ARE NOT DOING ANY SCREENINGS: Come to Fantasia JULY 18th!!!! As some of you may have heard Repo will be screening at the FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL - it is open to the public - so if you want your early sneak peek Friday JULY 18th is the day to do it. This whole process has been hard on me as a filmmaker. I was so lucky with the SAW films - because I was shooting with a locked release date already on the calendar - HALLOWEEN! This was the first movie I have worked on - where we went into it - without a locked release date. But matters were complicated more with REPO as it being a musical, we have to not only plan for the films release, but also the albums release. On top of that, REPO is not an easy film to market. It's a musical. A musical with PARIS HILTON, and SARAH BRIGHTMAN... People kill people... and then sing about it, and then dance around their dead bodies and sing some more. But all the waiting and wondering is about to come to a screeching halt. As of July the Repo train starts to take off. We will be at Fantasia in Montreal on Friday the 18th, the next week we will be at Comic Con and doing a panel on Thursday 07/24. Some of you will LOVE Repo... Some will HATE it... I am just excited that soon you can make that decision for yourself. Until next time, http://www.repo-opera.com (check back July 1 for the new and improved site)
