cryptique Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Because Hollywood can't leave well enough alone... 'Rocky Horror' does time warp again with remake 30 years on LONDON (AFP) - "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."Here's my first stab at casting. I know someone here can do better. Frank N. Furter: Brad PittBrad Majors: Topher GraceJanet Weiss: Lindsay LohanRiff Raff: Jack BlackMagenta: Christina RicciColumbia: Reese WitherspoonDr. Scott: Ian McKellenRocky: Dwayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like Ryan Stiles or Crispin Glover for Riff Raff. There has to be a part somewhhere in this movie for either Neve Campbell or Parker Posey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
