Scream 08: Darren Bousman Talks 'Repo!' Trilogy

Rocking the red carpet of last night's Scream Awards was Darren Lynn Bousman, director of Lionsgate's Repo! The Genetic Opera, which arrives in limited theaters November 7th. While talking with Bloody-Disgusting, Bousman revealed to us that he has big plans for the franchise if the first performs well. You can read all about it inside and watch thsi spot for a new review from the Toronto After Dark Film Festival in the coming week.

Darren Lynn Bousman tells us that not only would he like to make a prequel to REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA, but also that the franchise is a conceived trilogy.

"Yes, I would love to make REPO! 2," Bousman tells Bloody-Disgusting. "It was designed as a three part movie," explaining that "The REPO! opening [in theaters] November 7th would be the middle chapter."

He also tells us that REPO! star Alexa Vega is already onboard for the prequel, would it ever happen and that Paris Hilton might not be involved.

"Regarding Paris - the next one I would love to do would be a prequel - so its uncertain about Paris."

But like all movies, it's so incredibly early to really talk sequel, so Bousman exclaims, "Let's open REPO!... then we will worry about the second!"

In the not-so-distant future when an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet, scientists gear for a massive organ harvest. A biotech giant comes up with easy organ payment plans, but all financed organs are subject to legal default, including repossession at the hands of repo men.

My god, I HOPE the first one performs well....I saw it at FantasticFest twice and it just might be my new favorite film, ever. But with a limited release of what, TEN theatres, the fate of the movie is so uncertain. We're getting a print here in Austin and will do weekly midnight shows with it after a regular run, I hope the same can happen in other cities. What can WE do to support this film, besides just seeing it in theaters if we're lucky enough to live near where it's playing? Honestly, I'd like to know, because I'd DO IT.

i'm curious that if he DID do a sequel, would it be w/ Lionsgate (after they dicked it over?)?

Since most of the population will NOT have access to this movie's theatrical run, the best way to support it and insure a sequel would be to purchase the DVD when it's released. It's really the only way this movie is going to make any money.

the movie is on such a limited run in the theater the only way to truly support it is buy it on dvd

I am probably one of the most obsessed fans of REPO!, but I have to agree with Butters.. why can't they jsut keep it at REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA.. a sequel/prequel would be like Grease 2, or Shock Treatment.. they won't be able to captivate the whatever it is that worked in the original, if it's truly a cult classic.

I saw this yesterday in Toronto and, man, it was INSANE! I can't imagine this not doing well (if it ever gets a wide release). I think a prequel would be a good idea. We need more emphasis on Grave-Robber and some other characters who didn't get enough time on screen.

I HATE LIONSGATE!!!! This film deserves a full release so bad. I saw it back in July at the Fantasia Film Festival and absolutely loved it. I wish one of those lucky limited release theaters were closer to me because I'd be there again to see this film.

MORE. REPO. I hope that Bill and Ogre aren't written out of the Repo pre/sequels if Hilton doesn't even.

Man I keep missing the screening for this movie. I definitely won't mis the opening on the 7th! can't wait! Why not make your next film something completely different. And let everyone do the spin offs and rip offs, and keep this movie going as a graphic novel or something along those lines.

Thank God... no Paris. Finally, he's thinking that casting that Paris-site whore... was a mistake. Thank you for listening to the little people Mr. Bousman.

I want REPO to come to Wichita so I can get all my dark friends together to go see it.
