Alexa Vega to star in Repo: The Genetic Opera
Alexa Vega has signed to star in the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera. The movie is about a future society where people have genetically perfect organs implanted. When they cannot make their payments repo men will come in to collect the organs. Alexa will play a girl who discovers that her dad is one of the repo men.
Alexa Vega needed a new movie role if she wants to make it in the movie business, it was a little quiet around her for a while. Of course she was busy playing in Hairspray on Broadway, so it’s not really surprising that she would return to the big screen in a musical.
Yes, you heard it right a musical. This is a combination of a horror movie and a musical. It will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman who directed Saw II, III and IV, the movie is also based on a short movie he made in 2006.
I have absolutely no idea whether this concept will work or not, there aren’t that many horror musicals out there as far as I know. But for Alexa’s movie career it can only be a good move, she’s only done very minor stuff in the last couple of years after Spy Kids 3-D was released. So it can only get better basically.
