from the story

 

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is to be remade over 30 years after the camp classic first hit cinema screens, producers said Wednesday.

The original 1975 film was a horror parody featuring the adventures of a newly engaged couple who find themselves caught up in the bizarre world of Frank-N-Furter, a "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania."

Based on a British stage show, the film starred Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Richard O'Brien and singer Meat Loaf, featuring songs including "Time Warp" and has grossed some 140 million dollars (94 million euros) in the US alone.

The cast this time round has not yet been decided, but the remake will use the original screenplay and is being revived in a partnership deal for MTV in the US and Sky Movies in Britain, who confirmed the move.

The film's executive producer Lou Adler, who is reprising his role from the original, said: "So here we go again, with a new cast, believing that the Sky and MTV remake will add to the Rocky Horror phenomenon."

There is absolutely no reason for this movie to be remade.

It still shows weekly at one of the local cheap theaters. I don't see why it needs to be remade EXACTLY like the original. Meh, probably won't do that well anyways as the core group probably won't like it redone.



i will hold my breath, but i would mind it to be a little sharper and have crisper sound, also the cast will really make or break teh film

Prepare yourself for High School Musical 4: The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

 



The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.

Odds are, it's gonna be HORRIBLE. I love the original, and I just seriously doubt a remake would be any good.. maybe it'll catch the interest of younger people, I'm not sure. I'll try to at least give it a chance though..



I love the original....

please do not fuck this up.



Oh God.... no.... please no....

Exactly.... Boooooooo.... Boooo.... Boooo... Booo MTV... Booo.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Is this like the year for remaking films and wrecking them in the process? First a Nightmare remake without Robert Englund and now this.
