The trailer was removed in the below link but you can still read it: > **["Repo Chick" Trailer Is Even Weirder Than You Thought](https://gizmodo.com/repo-chick-trailer-is-even-weirder-than-you-thought-5456569)** > > Cox, who also directed brilliant 80s cult fave Sid and Nancy, as well as 2008 Western satire Searchers 2.0, says that Repo Chick is a "freestanding film." Like Repo Man, however, it's about "economic crisis." And here’s the trailer: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bYBKhQ0Ps8) I am a huge fan of Repo Man, and this looks just weird enough to be entertaining to me. Plus it’s got the DA from Medium and Commander Chakotay, so how can you go wrong, right? If this one has a song by Iggy Pop, then I’m even more sold. Repo Man is (imo) one of the greatest, possibly underappreciated rock songs out there. Repo Man by Iggy Pop: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g7qbK7fEMI) ---

Well that looks interesting. I liked the original **Repo Man** quite a lot and I do feel there’s room for more delving into the subject. This is just really out there, but looks like a ton of fun. I’ll keep my eye out for it. Thanks. ---

So what is the story with this movie? IMDB lists it as a 2009 movie, but I am pretty sure it hasn’t been released. Will it be released or will it be straight to video?
