According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures have acquired Darren Lynn Bousman’s latest horror film, Repo! The Genetic Opera.
The film is set in the not-so-distant future where an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet, killing tens of millions. As scientists feverishly make plans for a massive organ harvest, a multi-billion dollar biotech company, GeneCo manufactures salvation but for a price, offering easy organ payment plans.
“I had been waiting for the right opportunity to make it into a feature. I couldn’t be in a better position as Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate have become family: they are not scared to take risks and they stand behind their filmmakers,” Bousman said.
Bousman is best known as the director of Saw 2 and 3.
