http://www.bakotopia.com/home/Blog/actionfolksinger/29495 So I'm a little jealous I'll admit it. The natural progression for a musical is as follows.&nbsp; Workshop shows, bigger markets, Toronto, Broadway and then the movies.&nbsp; Repo the genetic opera came out two years after my horror musical Spider Baby and they leap-frogged from Toronto straight to a movie.&nbsp; Then again they don't have a release date but still the movie has been made and I'm still struggling to get produced in small markets. Still I just wish I could have been there for the pitch. A producers office somewhere in Hollywood. Producer:&nbsp; Okay what have you got for me? Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich:&nbsp; Okay we got a horror story about organ reposession. Producer:&nbsp; Mmmmm....interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; Who do you have? Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich:&nbsp; Well it's directed by the guy who did Saw 2 Darren Lynn Bousman It stars Paul Sorvino Anthony Stewart Head &nbsp; Sarah Brightman And Paris Hilton Producer:&nbsp; I don't know- Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich:&nbsp; But wait here's the twist.&nbsp; It's a horror rock opera. Producer:&nbsp; Is there gore? Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich::&nbsp; Does the pope shit in the woods? Producer:&nbsp; Who do I make the check out to? And thus movie history was made. The invisible movie. And yet despite the internet buzz Repo is not coming to a movie theater near you anytime soon.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Lionsgate is sitting on it for reasons they refuse to release.&nbsp; The internet buzz says that Sweeny Todd is still to fresh in peoples memory and they want it to stand on it's own instead of having people draw comparisons.&nbsp; Well, no matter when you open people will compare the two.&nbsp; I mean how many gore infested horror opera movies are there anyway?&nbsp; Hmmmmm? Till it's release it has played a few festivals.&nbsp; I got a little excited when I found it it's opening this month at the Fantasia Festival.&nbsp; Till I found out the festival was in Ontario Quebec Canada.&nbsp; 3000 + miles is a little more than I'm willing to travel. And what if it never opens?&nbsp; I almost wish it doesn't.&nbsp; Then it will become a true cult film.&nbsp; Cult movies used to mean that only a select few had ever seen or heard of it.&nbsp; Now it's just any piece of weirdness bored kids film on their cell phone and edit on their Mac.&nbsp; If it never get's shown it could join the ranks of legendary lost films that people have only heard about.&nbsp; Films like The Monkeys paw, Number 13, Drakula hal&aacute;la, and of course London after Midnight.&nbsp; But I sometimes think that I've built it up too much in my mind.&nbsp; All I've seen is two trailers and I can't wait to see the whole thing.&nbsp; I'm so desperate for something fresh and new but I can't help think I'm setting myself up for dissapointment. The lasting effects I've seen way too many movies in my life.&nbsp; If you just count the movies I saw on Netflix that's a little over a year of my life wasted.&nbsp; As such I've become a bit jaded.&nbsp; It's been so long since I've heard music I found really interesting or saw a horror film that actually scared me.&nbsp; But the trailers and images from this film have actually made me a little afraid of the dark.&nbsp; I literally had trouble going outside last night to turn off the water because of these images in my head. And for some reason I was convinced that the Repo man was comig for me. I'm trying to keep my expectations low.&nbsp; But it's tough when you've watied this long to see something truly new and it has such great trailers. So I'm a little jealous I'll admit it.
