Humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property…with no concern for your comfort or survival.

Jude Law plays Remy, one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement…as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), to track him down.

Now that the hunter has become the hunted, Remy joins Beth (Alice Braga), another debtor who teaches him how to vanish from the system. And as he and Jake embark on a chase across a landscape populated by maniacal friends and foes, one man will become a reluctant champion for thousands on the run. (via quietearth.us)

Darren Lynn Bousman’s REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA last year was a sine wave, high with its much-promising cast (from Skinny Puppy’s Nivek Ogre to Alexa Vega, Sarah Brightman or even Paris Hilton), its fusion approach and the visuals, low with coherence and the lack of, well, anything to compel opera newbies to give themselves easily to its entirety. Whatever we missed – the cheesy, gory fun -, Miguel Sapochnik will put it back in his Repo Men remake – debuting on the 2nd of April, 2010 – featuring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker and even Master RZA himself!

    Oh my god… This could be a nice action movie, with some cyberpunk aftertaste, but compared to Repo! The Genetic Opera this is just a disgusting theft of a good idea…
