Repo man, don’t take my eyes — because Repo! The Genetic Opera is coming to 4K Ultra HD.
Director Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II-IV) shared the news on Instagram alongside an image of dozens of Mini DV tapes containing behind-the-scenes footage from the production.
“100’s of hours of BTS from the making of Repo! The Genetic Opera, shot by my beautiful wife [Laura Bousman] back in 2007 about to be turned over to [“Spooky” Dan Walker] for the 4k release!” Bousman wrote. “I wonder what treasures lurk on these archaic things?”
It sure sounds like Lionsgate is giving fans new special features to go along with the 4K restoration.
Set in the not so distant future of 2056, an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men.
The 2008 horror musical is written and composed by Terrance Zdunich and Darren Smith, based on their 2002 stage musical.
Alexa Vega, Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, Nivek Ogre, Bill Moseley, Paul Sorvino, and Zdunich star.
Bousman’s latest film, Twisted starring Djimon Hounsou and Lauren LaVera, hits Digital on February 6.
