The release of “The Gene Generation” was severely delayed. The original release date was October 2007. Now The Gene Generation is on DVD. The film is directed by Singaporean director Pearry Reginald Teo and stars Bai Ling and Parry Shen. (Parry Shen was in another horror short “The TiVo” recently. We wonder if he wants to star in horror films.) Anyways, here’s the synopsis for “The Gene Generation”:
In the futuristic world of Olympia, a city on the brink of destruction, a team of scientists discovers a way to instantly reconfigure human DNA so that all disease will come to an end. But even miracles come at a cost, and we’ll find out if this new technology is actually a blessing or a curse. The DNA reconfiguration can save lives, but could potentially end them as well. Now, as the city is overtaken by gangs ters and DNA Hackers, the only promise for a better life is with the right DNA. Michelle (Bai Ling), a seductive assassin whose mission is to take out these so-called DNA hackers, is determined to use the new technology for good instead of evil. When her brother Jackie (Perry Shen) steals a genetic device from their next-door neighbor Christian (Alec Newman), a vigilante scientist, he gets dragged into the immoral cyber-underworld. Banded together with him, Michelle must fight not just for her own flesh and blood, but also for the survival of mankind.
