SDCC '09: Darren Bousman Reveals 'Repo!' Prequel Plans

At the San Diego Comic Con we caught up with Darren Lynn Bousman, director of Saw II-IV and Repo! The Genetic Opera, who was on hand to announce his new comic-to-screen venture Abattoir (read more about it here). During the chat we asked what other films he has up his sleeve, could there be something new to "testify" in the future?

Darren has always been jokingly interested in directing a new Leprechaun film. While he already has his hands full with all of these major projects, we had to know, does he still have green on his mind.

"Yes, but no one will ever let me. Every time I bring Leprechaun up people laugh at me and don't think I am serious. I AM SERIOUS!!!! I would totally do it!"

While he just announced Abattoir, Bousman tells us Akula is next in line.

"I don't know... Akula for sure... then Abattoir," he tells B-D adding that he's again working with the screenwriter for Mother's Day. "I am working on an original horror film with Scott Miliam which is pretty sick," adding a little tease, "Hopefully Repo2..."

"Terrance [Zdunich] and I are working on something, that if we are able to pull off, would be amazing... let's just say that there is no way Repo is going away anytime soon." He continues, "We have a lot in store, including new content. New music. And the hope is still there for a prequel. I can say that a bunch of new merchandise is now online - as well as Action figures in the works!"

I actually thought REPO was pretty kickass. I don't particularly care for the music much (there are a few cool tracks) but the story is cool, the sets were crazy, the comic style of it was a nice touch, and Bill Mosley is always icing on the cake. Decent level of gore also...I'll watch a prequel.

Agree with Dick - the movie as a whole was fantastic - visually amazing, and a neat story (even the exposition-delivered-as-on-screen-text managed not to grate too much) but the music was mostly meh, exceptions being "Zydrite anatomy" and "Let the Monster Rise", you wouldn't listen to the CD unless you were already a fan of the movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed Repo! so this news is cool for me. I just hope the sequel or prequel will be of the same quality.

Not sure about a Repo! prequel but hell, I'll give it a shot. The original was utterly fantastic after all.

Repo! was SO great, everything about it was so original, and I am a HUGE, HUGE fan of the movie. I saw it in Boston as part of the Road Tour 2 and then in Foxboro as part of Road Tour 3. I met Darren and he's such a cool guy (he asked me for a huggg!) but I don't think I would enjoy seeing a Repo! sequel nor a prequel. Repo! was SO great as it is, the story was amazing, the ending was perfect, and the movie already told enough that we needed to know for background and everything.. I just don't think a prequel is necessary and I would NOT see a sequel because I just thought the ending of Repo! was so perfect. But whatever they decide to do, good luck to them.

But heres the thing Horror_luva... didnt they say that Repo was just the beginning of a much larger idea... i think a sequal or prequal will be great, because its not gonna be forced. They had so many ideas for this, they just started at genetic opera.

This guy is the motherfucking man, next to Eli Roth. This dude might even be cooler then Eli. Like Darren, could be label as a romero and carpenter of our time. He really is a master mind genius no joke. I loved every piece of work he did thus far.
