What happens when you have two films, two years apart, and the same premise for their story? Other than confusion, you may start to take sides. That’s exactly what is happening with the new film, Repo Men, and the 2008 film, Repo! The Genetic Opera. You have two films so close to each other, that the gloves may start to come of, and some may want to make their point known. Darren Bousman, director of Repo!, wants you to know your “history” before you start saying who came first.

You’ve seen the two new posters revealed earlier this week, but our friends at Horror Squad, Movie Fone, Cinematical and Sci-fi Squad have each debuted a new poster for Repo Men, whose release date has been pushed up to March 19th. Check all the posters out after the jump.

We reported yesterday that The Union had decided that people who have fallen behind in their payments will have their Artiforg’s reposed. Now The Union’s Human Resources Department are looking for Repo Men to chase down those unfortunate souls who have their artificial implants inside them.
If you have been following the Repo Men viral, you’ll know that Wired held an open application for runners to go undercover and evade the Repo Men for one month to win a cash prize of $7,500.
The runners have now been selected and there are only 2 days left before their payments run out. If you head over to the site you’ll find a timer counting down to when the chase begins.
In our first regular podcast of 2010, Dan, Scott, Iain, and Kris talk about the latest viral news, including The Crazies, Repo Men, LOST, Tron Legacy, Batman, Superman, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and more.

A new viral site for the highly anticipated film Repo Men has hit the Internet today. Based on artificial body part company The Union, the new site allows potential buyers to peruse the full inventory of Artiforg (artificial organs) products.
Having problems strolling down the beach? Perhaps you could use an Artiforg heart. Struggling to read this article? There’s an Artiforg eye for that! Can’t afford it? Don’t worry, you can buy on credit from The Union. Can’t keep up the payments? You better worry because Jude Law and Forrest Whittaker are going to chase you down and repossess it at your own personal (read: fatal) expense.
