A pinch of Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”, a dash of David Fincher’s “Fight Club”, and some sprinklings of David Cronenberg’s “Crash”, and you have Miguel Sapochnik’s “Repo Men”. Made for $30-plus million (though the film looks much more expensive) and dumped into theaters without a whole lot of studio confidence earlier this year, you’ll be hard-pressed to know the film even exists unless you were looking for it.
Can’t believe I forgot this, but better late than never: Miguel Sapochnik’s “Repo Men” opens today. Did you see it? The film stars Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Alice Braga, Liev Schreiber, Carice van Houten, and finds Law and Whitaker playing the repo men of the title, except instead of cars, they go after your human organs. It all goes bad for our hero Jude when he becomes one of the people he’s been hunting down. They call that irony.
Check out seven smashing clips and a new red band trailer from Jude Law’s sci-fi actioner “Repo Men”, based on the novel “The Repossession Mambo” by Eric Garcia.
Just the other day I was lamenting Universal’s lack of promotion for their big-budget sci-fi movie “Repo Men”. Turns out, they might just be biding their time, because this came in the e-mail today. A new batch of images and a “Repo Men are Coming” hunt, a type of viral campaign to promote the show. More info on the “hunt” below, then after that, new images from the movie.
For a film with its budget and A-list cast, Miguel Sapochnik’s sci-fi actioner “Repo Men” sure doesn’t seem to be getting a whole lot of love from the studio in terms of PR. There was the trailer, and some posters (two of which are below), but that’s about it. The film is opening in a month, and most people don’t even know what it’s about. That could change, but it’s doubtful the studio is suddenly going to throw money at it as the release date nears. Anyways, two new posters have popped up online. The first looks like a cool Frank Miller drawing, but the second one is just not even trying.
Some shiny new posters from “Repo Men” out for you this morning, illustrating the cost of your typical organ. “Repo Men” stars Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. When the biologicals you’re born with wear out, these are the puppies you’ll be socketed with. But you better make your payments or, well, let’s let the official synopsis do the dirty work. “Repo Men” opens in the bright light on April 2nd. Thanks Collider.
So there’s this sci-fi movie called “Repo Men”, starring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, and Liev Schreiber. From what I can tell, it looks like a pretty expensive, slick, big-budget sci-fi action movie, too. And, um, I didn’t know it existed until now. Go figure. Check out a red band trailer for “Repo Men”, which looks a lot like “Logan’s Run” with human organs. The film has Jude Law playing, from what I can tell, his first ever leading man role in what is a full blown action movie. No real method acting here, just pure sci-fi action and spraying blood. Lots of that in the future when you’re dealing with guys who repossesses human organs — by literally cutting them out of their “wearers”.
