Scream 08: Darren Bousman Talks ‘Repo!’ Trilogy
Rocking the red carpet of last night’s Scream Awards was Darren Lynn Bousman, director of Lionsgate’s Repo! The Genetic Opera, which arrives in limited theaters November 7th. While talking with Bloody-Disgusting, Bousman revealed to us that he has big plans for the franchise if the first performs well. You can read all about it inside and watch thsi spot for a new review from the Toronto After Dark Film Festival in the coming week.
Darren Lynn Bousman tells us that not only would he like to make a prequel to REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA, but also that the franchise is a conceived trilogy.
“Yes, I would love to make REPO! 2,” Bousman tells Bloody-Disgusting. “It was designed as a three part movie,” explaining that “The REPO! opening [in theaters] November 7th would be the middle chapter.”
He also tells us that REPO! star Alexa Vega is already onboard for the prequel, would it ever happen and that Paris Hilton might not be involved.
“Regarding Paris – the next one I would love to do would be a prequel – so its uncertain about Paris.”
But like all movies, it’s so incredibly early to really talk sequel, so Bousman exclaims, “Let’s open REPO!… then we will worry about the second!”
In the not-so-distant future when an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet, scientists gear for a massive organ harvest. A biotech giant comes up with easy organ payment plans, but all financed organs are subject to legal default, including repossession at the hands of repo men.
One night. One house. One horrifying experience. Nothing stays buried forever in Bury the Devil, a real-time exorcism movie told in a single, continuous take.
We’re exclusively unveiling the new trailer and key art for the real-time nightmare below, ahead of the film’s release in select theaters and VOD on August 21.
Adam O’Brien (Mom) directs from a script by John Petrizzi and Brad Hodson.
When nurse Julia finds herself trapped inside the home of her dementia patient, she begins to suspect things are not what they seem; something demonic is seeping through the cracks of this old home. Trapped and with nowhere to turn, Julia soon finds herself in battle to rid the house of this evil before it is too late.
Dawn Ford, Emmanuelle Lussier Martinez, Bill Rowat, and Mark Antony Krupa star.
“This film depicts the most harrowing 90 minutes of our protagonist’s life, and I felt that the most visceral way to really feel this was to do a single-shot film,” O’Brien previously teased. “We are with her every step and misstep she takes – through the unraveling of the mystery to the horror of her discovery. It’s a fun, twisty roller-coaster ride that puts a new spin on exorcisms.”
Bury the Devil is the first installment in a planned trilogy. The prequel, Bury the Devil: Origin, is already in development with O’Brien returning to the helm.
O’Brien produces along with Philip Kalin-Hajdu (The Sacrifice Game) and Benoit Beaulieu (Turbo Kid).
