As we mark the 40th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fox is prepping a remake of the cult classic. The two-hour taped event special, which is in development with a cast-contingent order, is executive produced by Gail Berman of The Jackal Group; the 1975 movie's producer Lou Adler; and Kenny Ortega, who is set to direct and choreograph. Fox 21 TV Studios is producing.

It’s just a jump to the left ...
Because there’s a large potential audience. Same reason anything gets made.
no no no no no no
a million billion times no
did they decide it wasn’t gay enough?
lol
NOBODY wants to see a remake. The original was bad enough.
As if we don’t already have enough “gay” crap on television.
There is no way to recapture the magic of the original, flukes like that can’t just be duplicated.
These people have NO shame.
Just reboots and remakes with no soul.
We use to go to the midnight showing alot during our misspent yout
There are some movies that can’t be remade. I think this is one.
Almost nobody went there for the movie. We went for the audience. Without the audience participation part it’s a really a bad movie. Movie fans were who started it all and not Hollywood. Studios even tried to repeat it’s success and failed miserably.
I’ve seen it dozens of times, and loved the midnight showings.
I will say though that the first time I saw it, me and a buddy visiting from Texas just walked in to a theater following some females in sexy costumes. When the movie started I thought it was stupid and we left, but as the weeks went by the music stayed in my head, and I decided to go see it all the way through, it really is a freaky masterpiece.
Yep. Lots of weed went through the air vents of the Tower Theater in Houston back then.
Rocky Horror Picture Show was the worst movie in history.
It was so bad, people threw things at the screen.
In fact, it so bad that groups of people used to to get totally drunk and stoned just to go to the theater to throw things at the screen.
The rest is history.
I don’t think Fox can make the re make any worse than the original so what’s the point?

The music was good but the film was horrible. It played in it’s first run at midnight showings every weekend for almost two decades at the Fox theater in North Charleston SC, second only to the main show in NYC that I believe is still going today.
I dated one of the star’s sisters. Said that Richard O’Brien ( Riff Raff ) was awesome to meet in real life and Meatloaf was also a great guy. She said that they were all family for years after the movie except for Tim Curry. Said he was a real jerk.
I like the movie, it is exactly like “The Lives of Others”, except for being totally different, and campy, and a musical, and a comedy, and about transvestite space aliens, and a few other minor differences.
Not in the least bit interested... they better rethink their understnding of viewership.
