			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://andanotherthing.chucklehound.com/uploaded_images/repo-man-797865.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="http://andanotherthing.chucklehound.com/uploaded_images/repo-man-797863.png" alt="" border="0" /></a>A few days ago, the trailer hit Youtube for Alex Cox&#8217;s <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Chick</span>, shot entirely on greenscreen and looking kind of awkward, if affordable. Not a sequel to <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Man</span>. The sequel to <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Man</span> is 2008&#8217;s <a href="http://www.waldoshawaiianholiday.com/">Waldo&#8217;s Hawaiian Holiday</a>, a graphic novel following the exploits of Emilio Estevez&#8217;s Otto character, now Waldo for some reason or another, as he returns from a decade on Mars.</p>
<p>As of 1/29, the trailer has been removed. This sort of thing happens at Youtube all the time, but this time it&#8217;s &#8220;removed by user,&#8221; and since the user is <i>alexcoxfilms</i>, perhaps there&#8217;s more to the story? No word yet on Cox&#8217;s website. Legal issues have been swirling around the project for some time, to wit:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Chick</span> actually can&#8217;t legally be a sequel to <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Man</span>, the rights to which are owned by Universal. Also upcoming, also owned by Universal: this April&#8217;s Jude Law/Forest Whitaker artificial-organ-repossession chase flick <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Men</span>. This would be less confusing if they&#8217;d stuck with the original title, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repossession Mambo</span>, but <a href="http://alexcox.com/blog.htm">Cox feels</a> they&#8217;re muddying the waters intentionally, perhaps out of retaliation. Universal sent him a cease-and-desist when they heard about Repo Chick, thinking it an illegal sequel to <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Man</span>, but Cox pointed out that it was just another movie set in the repo biz, and shared no characters or settings. He also explains that <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Men</span> can&#8217;t legally be a sequel to <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Repo Man</span> either, as his contract states he would have to be offered the directing gig.</p>
<p>The trailer&#8217;s still up unofficially, for the moment:</p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6bYBKhQ0Ps8&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6bYBKhQ0Ps8&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<p>Anyway, nice to see Miguel Sandoval getting lead roles. The female lead is Jaclyn Jonet, whose only other credited film work is Cox&#8217;s own <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Searchers 2.0</span> – which means her entire filmic career consists of referential non-sequels. Maybe she can get some work on<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> The Marathon Man Returns</span> or something?</p>
