Rocky Horror Picture Show Remake?!?!
Oh good lord. Please let this never come to fruition.

"the remake is being co-financed by MTV and Sky Movies"
Anyone else think this should never happen?

NO.
No one could replace Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry anyway.

I heard they will try to have Marilyn Manson as Dr. Frankenfurter! I could have fainted when hearing that.

I could see someone like Alan Cumming playing that role, but Marilyn Manson...ugh!!

Oh yeah. I saw that and nearly choked.
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Alan Cumming as Frank N Furter, but you just can't replace Tim Curry.
My hope is that if they do remake this, they will not try to replicate the old movie. I hope that they put a new spin to it. That way, you can't really compare the two.
That's just wishing, though.

I'm not a big fan of re-making movies anyway, and this sure doesn't do anything to change my mind!

A remake has been in talk for years. I don't like that it is suppose to be a TV Movie, but I think that technology and just a modern take on it will be a lot of fun to watch. If Manson does it, it will be much darker and less funny, while Cummings will do the opposite. I think it will obtain its burlesque nature, but might lose some of its campiness for an even darker and twisted version. I am excited to see it.

No! No, no, no, no, NO!
If they do this, I suggest that everyone throws toast at MTV!

I think MTV should come up with some original ideas and not clearly scripted "reality" shows like Parental Control and The Hills....DO NOT REMAKE ROCKY HORROR!

This is about a million types of wrong. You simply cannot remake Rocky Horror.
Maybe MTV should think about doing something shocking, say, show something like Music Videos and Concerts 24 hours a day? I know, it's daring and new, but it just might work?

It was bad enough when they did the sequel - "Shock Treatment" which, yes I did see. No no no no - you can only have one first kiss, and the kind of response RHPC got cannot be marketed and manipulated. Boooooo . . .

Besides, if it takes place in modern day, surely Brad and Janet would have cell phones!
