Four blocks from the set of Repo! The Genetic Opera, the like-minded Repossession Mambo is set to start work in October for Universal Pictures. Mambo – a sci-fi thriller about the dangers of paying for organ transplants on credit – is booked at Toronto’s Showline Studios into the new year, with Jude Law and Forest Whitaker teamed with first-time director Miguel Sapochnik.

Repo! covers similar ground, but is a musical set to begin in September at Cinespace, under helmer Darren Bousman of the Saw franchise. It is due from Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate in 2009.
