canyatuimaEveryone remembers Repo! The Genetic Opera, right? Released by Lionsgate films in 2008
(after an almost 10 year road from club performance, to stage play, to broadway!) had Sarah Brightman in it, is absolutely FANTASTIC, and an Opera to boot. Plus, um YUMMY Graverobber!
Well, looks like its been ripped off! The new film Repo Men, based off a book called "Reposession Mamba" (released in 2009) has so many similarities that there is NO WAY it isn't a ripoff.

I'm pissed. It looks like a fan liked it so much that he decided to write a book about it, and then decided his book was better and since Repo is relatively unknown, he could make money off it. Grr!
Boycott Repo Men, and the book Reposession Mamba! Spread the word, and tell everyone about this blatant plagiarism!
