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.
In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called “The Union”. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, “The Union” sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property… with no concern for your comfort or survival. Former soldier Remy is one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement… as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake, to track him down.
Starring Jude Law, Liev Schreiber, Forest Whitaker, Alice Braga, Carice van Houten, Liza Lapira, RZA, Yvette Nicole Brown, and directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
