A trailer has been put online for “REPO! The Genetic Opera,” a new movie musical featuring Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy. Based on a play of the same name, the film has a very unusual cast, also including Anthony Head (”Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), Sarah Brightman (”Cats,” “The Phantom Of The Opera”) and Paris Hilton.
