From:http://movies.gearlive.com/movies/I remember hearing recently about a controversial Dutch ‘reality’ show involving a terminally ill woman and the ‘contestants’ vying for her kidney. Although the show was later revealed to be a hoax, the producers said their intent was to raise awareness about organ donation.
Well as noble as the idea may have been, it was also quite trend-setting. Who could have predicted in 2006 that organ transplants stories would become the latest black?
It’s been announced that Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker and Oscar-nominee Jude Law are set to star in a futuristic tale about the growing need for organs. Those having to settle for artificial kind are allowed to purchase them on credit, but non-payment signals a not-so-gentle knock on the door from the repo man. Filming on Repossession Mambo begins this summer.
