Rocky Horror Picture Show Remake?!
I was in the 8th Street Playhouse (NYC) Cast of The Rocky Horror Picture Show for many years. I was on the alumni board today and it was abuzz with antici---------------------pation over this article.
Now there's been buzz about this for years, but this is the closest I've seen to reality on this. What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Heresy (and I don't mean Klipsch)?

I think it's a classic and should be left alone. Name me one classic remake that betters the original???
My money says it will probably blow....

I am with Andyman.
What's next? A Plan Nine from Outer Space remake? Glen or Glenda? Jeepers, all of what makes Rocky Horror great is what it is; who's in it. It is as kitsch-y and campy as can be; very much of its era. A remake woud run the very real risk of taking the task too seriously, maybe even if the creator/writer of the original play, Richard O'Brien ("Riff Raff") were involved in the project. I'd say if they cap the budget at, say, $2 million, shoot on 16 mm film, and get John Waters involved... maybe. maybe...

No! NO! NO!
Remake "The Wizard of Oz", Gone With The Wind, West Side Story? You've got to be kidding. How could anyone possibly expect that a remake would be a good idea? Some movies are best just left as they were originally released. Another example of trying to capitalize on a name. I predict a box office bust.

Actually, who would go see it? The old timers would boycott it as soulless Hollywood money grubbing, and the idiots who eat up most of the drivel spewed forth these days would probably find it not their cup of Starbucks. FWIW, the remake of "The Producers" grossed $38M worldwide and cost $45M to make....

Where you gonna find a slender girl with a rack like young Sarandon's?
