Why is MTV remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show? - Page 3

Cadaverous Pallor · 07-24-2008, 10:55 AM

Actually, I'd be interested in a totally different take, same as I'm interested in covers of songs that have new perspectives. If they try to truly remake this one with the exact same characters/scenario, they will fail.

Somehow I can see Rose McGowan as Magenta.

The Rocky Horror Show has enough distinctiveness from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But I fear they're going to remake the Picture Show, and - huh? - squeeze in some new, non-O'Brien songs? WTF??

On the other hand ... I've LOVE to do a LoT version of Rocky Horror - - and I'd even shave my head if I could be Riff-Raff!!

Okay, so did no one but me think: "yes, this is sacrilege, but if they cast Neil Patrick Harris in one of the roles, I might be persuaded to watch..."

While it can be argued that Tim Curry "is" Frank N. Furter (much to the detriment of the rest of his career, sadly), I've seen proof that Frank N. Furter is not necessarily Tim Curry. I was lucky enough to catch Anthony Stewart Head (from the Buffy TV show) as Frank in London - and he was excellent.

I found the movie, standing alone, a joyous experience on a par with "Hairspray." I was often annoyed by the audience "spontaneity."

Now that I think of it, "Hairspray" already did remake "Rocky Horror."
