Who let the Riff Raff in? Thirty-three years after the outrageous original film changed midnight screenings forever, MTV is remaking
The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
According to
Variety, the two-hour retread will adhere to the screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien used for the '75 version, though it may include music not used in the original.
No casting decisions have been announced yet, but the faithful better start getting their water guns, toilet paper and rice ready; producer Lou Adler says he'd like the flick to be shown by next Halloween.
So what do you say, "Science Fiction/Double Feature" fans? Who should be cast as Dr. Frank-N-Furter? What about Brad and Janet? And should Meat Loaf reprise the role of Eddie? -
