I am so excited to see people really getting behind this movie!

As all of you know - it hasn't been an easy battle getting REPO made... Nor was it easy recording the sound track - or shooting the movie!!!

So why would now be any easier in post!

I just left Los Angeles last night - and headed back to Toronto to finish the film... We begin the final color correct this week - add in all the visual effects - and more importantly start the FINAL sound mix.

So, to fill everyone in - while in Los Angeles, we had various screenings for producers, cast members - test screenings, etc...

About seven critics, snuck in or talked their way into the screenings. Some of these critics were avid SAW haters, which terrified me. I have no doubt this is a movie that will divide people.

The reviews that came back were ultra positive!!! I have linked a couple.

As I have stated numerous times - I have been in love with this movie since the moment I read the stage play some six years ago. But to be able to start showing the movie and hearing other POSITIVE reviews makes all of this mean something!

I have a lot of exciting news that will be breaking in the upcoming weeks... INCLUDING the new - and improved REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA website! AND - I think it's finally time you all start hearing the music - so be on the lookout for REPO songs!

To quote Rotti Largo:
"STAY TUNED FOLKS
YOU DON'T WANT TO MOVE FOLKS
CAUSE THERES MORE EXCITEMENT COMING!"

Sounds like a crazy movie, I CANNOT wait to hear some music and be able to finally check out a site. I love your passion for this project Darren. You are one of my inspirations on why I want to be a Director & Producer when I get older. You made your dream project, and worked damn hard to get it made! I someday hope I can make mine as well and that this film is a HUGE success. Keep it up!! I know you probably don't get to read this but I thought if you ever did it would be great for you to know your an inspiration to me.

Dude im freakin proud of you lol. I think this film will replace Saw 3 as your best film so far in your career. I personally cant wait to see it. Im glad to hear that Paris was good in the film, i had my doubts about her. Based on the reviews of her performance though she might just end up becoming a serious actress. Good Luck! :)

I actually had no clue you were doing this. I am one giant fan. I literally just posted yesterday, on my blog that I would love to know if it were possible to make a REAL Gorfest Horror Musical. I am so happy to see this. I know, you will get a lot of people behind it. Your name is already a modern horror staple. At least around here. Every single one of my friends is a fan of yours.
