REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA is set to begin its six week production in Toronto starting Sept. 10th and Paris Hilton is joining the cast. Paris will play Paul Sorvino’s daughter and supposedly “owned the role” when auditioned against 30 other women. (Were these women even actresses?) Paris will be singing and dancing with the rest of the cast.

The movie is based on the popular theatrical production about an organ failure epidemic that forces people to purchase genetically superior organs from a company that takes its payment collecting seriously.

Director Darren Lynn Bousman was on MTV and had this to say, “The idea is that everybody is buying up organs, and they cannot afford to pay for these organs. Thus, legalized organ repo-men come into the picture. Murder becomes sanctioned by law. So, if you buy a heart and can’t afford it, someone can burst through the door and take your heart out … and they don’t get in trouble for it.”

I was actually interested in this film…until I heard Paris is starring in it. I may end up skipping this completely since I am not in on the joke.
