Rocky.jpg


MTV is developing a remake of 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, reports Variety.

Lou Adler, executive producer of the original film, is partnering with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios on the new rendition.

The new version will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.

The director and casting decisions have yet to be announced. The original starred Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf.

i just read this and want to barf. i am starting a list on my blog and sending it to the powers that be (idiots who thought this was a good idea) at mtv. blog.teddahughes.com
so yuck!

Oh what a bad idea this is.... (Below threshold)

Oh what a bad idea this is. As terrible as the original was, it had some quality that at least endeared itself to millions of devoted fans.

Just like the awful Ed Wood films like PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW had some sort of magic that made it lovable to fans because of it's sheer awfulness as being one of the worst and strangest musicals ever made.

It is nearly impossible ever to recapture this magic. Lightning usually only strikes just once. Look at that awful remake of PSYCHO by Gus Van Sant for example.

I love this movie so fuckin... (Below threshold)

I love this movie so fucking much!
and since 8 or almost 10 year I HATE Mtv, just a lot of SHIT ! ... I remember when I was a kid and used to Listed/Watch, Rage againgst the machine, korn, limp bizkit, slipknot, Marilyn manson and a lot of other bands, when they used to play nice music, but now they ALL suckass! (except for RATM) and all is because they sold their souls to Fucking Mtv
