If Broadway and ‘Saw’ had a baby…

We’ve come to expect some pretty off-beat movies from Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures, but this tops them all. “Repo! The Genetic Opera” is a film-adaption of a stage musical about a futuristic organ harvesting corporation. And as if the plot weren’t bizarre enough, let’s look at the cast: Sarah Brightman? Alexa Vega? Paris Hilton?!

Apparently Paris doesn’t care about getting dropped by her record label. She’s gonna keep on singing! She’s kind of like Amanda Bynes in “Hairspray.” She’s not all that talented, so they’re just going to put her in little skimpy outfits and give her minimal singing lines.

And Brightman (who is married to Broadway producer Andrew Lloyd Webber) is clearly channeling her inner Helena Bonham Carter in this one. Come to think of it, the two women have a lot in common. They’re both competing for the top spot in the “I’m creepy and sort of talented, but I’m famous because my husband puts me in all of his productions” category.
