Repo! The Genetic Opera Trailer

And the genre musical hits keep coming.

Repo gets a full trailer…

I’m still not ready to say that I think this is going to be good.  The music isn’t grabbing me, and the images seemed cramped. But it’s a ballsy, interesting thing, and I applaud them for giving it a try.

Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Trailer is here!

I mentioned this Joss Whedon side project a while back, which led to a number of posts on genre musicals.

Well, now there’s a trailer to look at!

I’m not sure I’m excited yet, but it definitely seems interesting…

Star Wars Gangsta Rap

It is what it says it is, but it’s better than it sounds.

Definitely NSFW audio.

Repo! gets some flash for flesh

imageI mentioned Repo! The Genetic Opera here before, but the website was kind of crappy.

They’ve just upgraded it, and it looks pretty spiffy now.  Just in time for the movie!

 

Not sure if the movie is going to be great, but only time will tell.

The Genre Musical Round-Up

imageAh the Genre musical. What is the compulsion that drives a human to put science fiction, fantasy, or even horror, to music?  It may be impossible to know for sure, but the masterpieces and misfires of film and television are both unique, and to be honest, often a bit disturbing.

Here’s a list of the shows I’ve covered here, and links to the posts I made:

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog / Once More With Feeling

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Repo! The Genetic Opera

Xena: The Bitter Suite

Phantom of the Paradise

Have I missed your favorite, or is there an upcoming example of the genre that I don’t know about?  Feel free to post a comment and let me know.
