Why Must They Continue To Eff With The Classics???

Nooooooo!

MTV is remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.

Casting decisions have yet to be finalized.

Oh, the HOrror!

noooooo! they're wasting their money! The original is great.
react says – reply to this

21

I won't be wasting my time or my money on this piece of crap. Replacing Tim, Meatloaf, Susan and Barry is lame. But then MTV has been lame for the past 10 years. I want my real MTV, not the crap calling itself MTV today!

jonesjl9 says – reply to this

27

I can't stop yelling NO! and am trying to hold back tears of terror and rage! WHY? This should not be allowed! Whoever owns the rights to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, if you care for the fans of this classic at all PLEASE DON'T ALLOW THIS HAPPEN! IT'S A NIGHTMARE!
Quinn says – reply to this

28

How the hell can you replace Tim Curry? Answer: You can't; he's fucking irreplaceable.
UghhC says – reply to this

29

WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS!?!?
Tim Curry is hands down the only person that can play the role Dr. Frank-N-Furter as perfect as he did. It's just fine the way it is!
Sylva says – reply to this

30

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
MTV is going to completely ruin this movie.

It's perfectly fine how it is, and there's no need to remake it.

Someone should start a petition against this!
ashle says – reply to this

31

OMG no way! that's so stupid. they just have to remake everything don't they? that pisses me off. i saw that as a live show when i was twelve (last year) and it was amazing, and just the thought of the remake becoming a live show aswell. how stupid.
Jess says – reply to this

Johanna Mathilda says – reply to this

41

If you live in Minneapolis, TransvestiteSoup.org does a theatrical version onstage along with the movie. However, unlike MTV, It is FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!!

Love, J.
J says – reply to this

42

Tim Curry OWNS that character. I can't see this working on any level.
Seriously, WHY. This is a really bad idea if it's a money grab, there are probably more people out there who will boycott it than would imagine going to see it.
Nyet! says – reply to this

43

BOYCOTT!!!!! The orignial "Rocky Horror Picture Show" was my temple all during high school. MTV=Heretics…….so not cool.

Oh gawd no. Please don't.
Stick to what you do best, MTV: half-baked faux reality drivel.
sarah says – reply to this

46

it doesnt matter who they cast, it will suck. The original rocky horror will ALWAYS be the best. no doubt.
sarah says – reply to this

47

Funny becuse I was going to say those lips pictures originated with Rocky Horror Picture Show! The whole opening first few minutes is just a par of lips singing!

Lisa says – reply to this

50

why the hell can't anyone think of their own ideas anymore??? this is madness. i'm boycotting this "movie" when it comes out. BOYCOTTING IT!
jen says – reply to this

51

Because there's NO TALENT ANYMORE!!!
No ORIGINAL ideas anymore so they have to remake everything!
Once all the talented directors and producers die off you will see just how talentless Hollywood is.
haley says – reply to this

Re: Franc – Hell yeah, fuck mtv!
Heath says – reply to this

55

Oh my gosh, that's horrible. Tim Curry is AMAZING; no one can replace him, much less the rest of the cast. This is going to be absolutely hideous.
linds says – reply to this

56

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
They cant do that! They seriously need to stop themselves.
Ally says – reply to this

57

Does EVERYTHING have to be up to date? Jeez…this is so stupid. Why don't we remake The Exorcist or Rosemary's baby too? Hell, why don't we just redo every movie from the 60's, 70's, and 80's just so they can be up to date?

Fucking ridiculous.
TX Perez Fan says – reply to this

58

Nooooooo!
This is not one of those films that "needs" to be updated to be in color or because the technology has improved or whatever other reasons they come up with for re-doing classics.
Who are they going to get to "replace" Tim Curry?
Jen says – reply to this

59

is there like a general MTV email adress that i can write to? so i can tell them that they are COMPLETELY RETARDED?!
Shann says – reply to this

This hits way to close to home. I have been parading my RHPS shiz since I was eleven and have introduced many a "virgin" at midnight showings. I also saw the play on stage in what was once a church! This is the most disgusting thing that could ever happen and I hope all involved burn in hell
no says – reply to this

61

I have no problem with this remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show…BECAUSE I WON'T BE WATCHING IT!!! WTF!?! WTF!?! WTF!?! Tim Curry was the heart of this movie. It set a standard. This pisses me off more than the strikes. MTV, I HOPE YOU LOSE TONS OF MONEY ON THIS DEAL! And, I hope you lose a lot of cred in the process. I'm going to buy the Original in DVD after I post this, just because.

That is a slap in the face to the original actors and anyone who calls themself a true Rocky Horror Fan!!!!!!! I had heard rumors circulating in the late 90s that they were interested in Marilyn Manson playing Dr. Frankenfurter.

Maidm says – reply to this

82

They have to STOP ALREADY…for those of us old enough to have seen all the originals of everything they are remaking nowadays, we just can't understand WTF is going on? Isn't there one single original idea in Hollywood worth producing these days? And are they going to try "remake" the experience of going to see RHPS at the midnight show, dressing up as our favorite character and shouting out all the lyrics as we used to as well?
seachelle says – reply to this

83

nooooooooo
i will throw my tv out the fucking window

that is bullspit
all the more reason
to boycott MTv
GlamR says – reply to this

84

ya….this is a stupid decision. First off the Rocky Horror Picture Show is a love it or hate it movie so those that hate it most likely wont care to watch and those that love it who are like within the RHPS cult wont want to watch it either because mtv is messin with their god so….ya. I guess they are targeting the teens but ya i already can tell this is going to suck.

Hanna says – reply to this

88

THis is horrible!

But, remember people, not all teenagers are bad. I saw RHPS when I was 12, and loved it. I am now almost 14. I am not following a trend. I am not some MTV kid who falls in love with whatever is "Hip". I just like the movie. And yes, I have done the Time Warp in the middle of a shopping mall.

I don't want to see little fucking jit shit pretending that they know what Rocky Horror is all about. How can MTV ruin a classic?! I will not support this fucking crap they're trying to do. Fucking Fuck MTV!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that the people in the movie biz are LAME because they aren't creative enough to come up with new ideas! I mean really? What is better than Tim Curry? Nothing.
