Variety reports that MTV is developing a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Oh, bloody hell, why??!!??
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult favourite and I’m sure fans don’t want to see it remade. Lou Adler, executive producer of the original film (and obviously needing to buy a new house or something), is partnering with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios to produce the new version. Will this be a TV movie or a theatrical feature? No news yet. The new version will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien (so I guess it isn’t a ‘re-imagining’) but it may contain music and songs not included in the original.
No director or casting has been announced yet. You can click the link above to read the full story.
