Is Repo The Genetic Opera Going To Change How People Feel About Paris Hilton?

Many fans have been sceptical of the casting of Paris Hilton in Darren Lynn Bousman's latest film "Repo! The Genetic Opera." When the news of the young socialites appearance in the film became public just about everyone from fans to Bousman's own mother thought that the director was making a huge mistake.

Even Bousman himself thought that he may have been committing cinematic suicide, "I was adamantly opposed to casting Paris because the first thing people said to me was, 'Think of the press you'll get if you put Paris in it.' I thought, 'Whatever horror cred I have is about to go down the toilet."

The most outspoken criticism, however, didn't come from the horror movie fans, it came from Bousman's own mother. "My mother calls me crying from Kansas City - 'Why did you cast her, that charlatan?' She was very upset."

Despite the hesitations that Bousman had originally, he went ahead with the casting of Hilton and was presently surprised by the young actresses charm. "She stayed at the exact same hotel and ate at the same restaurants, and went to the same s**tty bar as all of us. I'm a dive bar kind of guy and she didn't come with an entourage or a single dog. She had just gotten out of her legal trouble so it was important for her to show that she wasn't this person. She really won me over."

Paris has apparently fallen in love with her character, Amy Sweet, and has aspirations playing the part on Broadway someday. Recently she told WENN, "If they did Repo on stage I'd do it because I really believe in it and I love it, but I wouldn't do anything else."

Is it possible that we have gotten Paris Hilton all wrong? Is that whole rich and snobby persona just a wall that she puts up to protect herself from the cruelties of Hollywood? Is Paris just like any other girl-next-door?

Naaaaaa........I doubt it.
