Repo Chick (Cox, 2009): Sequel to Repo Man
From slashfilm:
If it were anyone other than Alex Cox directing a sequel to this beloved personal favorite, I'd be dismissive. With him in the chair though, I'll certainly remain open-minded.
Alex Cox’s Repo Man sequel Repo Chick is finally going into production next month (January 2009). Production Weekly reports that David Lynch is producing the project.
The original 1984 film told the story of Otto, a newly hired repossession man who goes in search for a mysterious Malibu carrying a high value package which was taken from a government lab and has strange effects on anyone who views it.
Cox has previously said that the follow-up will “unfold against the background of the credit crunch and the subprime mortgage crisis in the US, where repossessions of homes, cars and other forms of property is at a new high. ‘The repo business has expanded to everything from boats, houses, aeroplanes, small nations…children”.

Cool.
Cox has done a handful of stuff. But nothing big. I've only seen a few of them.
It'll be interesting to see how he handles [presumably] having the much larger budget.

Repo Man is on my top ten list. If Cox can keep the FA attitude intact things should be OK. With Lynch producing, keeping the FA attitude will probably be in the contract, so things should definitely be OK.

They must have had a $100 budget to shoot, looks absolutely horrendous.
And a potential sequel to Bitch Slap.

If the movie were just the trailer, it's hilarious. But I can't stomache 90 minutes of that.
I'm out.

Maybe this is all an elaborate joke and the real trailer is still to come? If not, everyone involved was on some serious drugs if they thought this'd be good.

I dunno....seems like the last thing that was good from Cox may have been Sid & Nancy. Well....the one that people gave a damn about. The rest of his films I've never heard of.

^ But at least he got Chloe Webb back for another movie...giving what looks like her most embarrassing performance yet.
Although I must admit, that repo chick is pretty cute.
