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!

BAD MTV 
Tim Curry played that role better than anyone. The accent made me hot, and even wearing womans clothes I would of hit that!
Have they re-made Gone With The Wind yet? sure we can just snatch up another Vivien Leigh!
i need some valium…eh. have the people who helped make the first one watch todays MTV?? ITS PURE SHIT.
who's idea was this ? ?
this is bullshit. F my lifeeee
when i heard that they were remaking The Day the Earth Stood Still, i was like "thank god its not RHPS."
if i only knew. go to hell mtv.
fucking lame!
no one could do as well as Mr. Curry!
all these stupid emo kids are going to love it, when everyone knows nothing could be better that the original.
On the other hand, it may turn out well.
This generation sucks when it comes to classics like this, so maybe this will open their eyes to the amazingness that is Tim Curry in fishnets!
But if they fuck with the songs I'll be pissed like woah.
ew. I HOPE TO GOD MILEY CYRUS DOESNT TRY TO SING A SONG FROM THIS! I HOPE TO GOD MILEY CYRUS IS NOT IN THIS SHIT! I HOPE THIS SHIT NEVER GETS MADE!
people are just so unoriginal today and maybe want to make a quick buck.
WHAT THE FUCK MAN?!!! IS MTV FUCKING RETARDED?! I'M SORRY I GUESS WE ALL ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD EVEN CONSIDER FUCKING WITH THAT MOVIE. YOU DON'T FUCK WITH RHSP!!!! I WILL FIND A WAY TO PROTEST THIS MOVIE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE SOME FUCKING JIT SHIT PRETENDING LIKE THIS IS SOME COOL NEW SHIT, WHEN IT HAS BEEN BUTCHERED AND CONDENSED TO BE SOLD TO THE MAINSTREAM. RHPS IS MEANT FOR THE TRUE FANS, FOR THE ONES THAT WERE THERE FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE ONES WHO DISCOVERED IT THROUGH AN OLD VHS TAPE, AN OVERENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND, OR JUST PLAIN CURIOSITY OF A MAN WITH PANTYHOSE ON THE COVER OF A DVD. I'VE STOPPED LIKING MTV FOR A WHILE (MAINLY BECAUSE THEY SOLD OUT ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO) BUT NOW THEY ARE ON MY OFFICIAL HATE LIST. FUCKING FUCK MTV AND ALL THE CRAP THEY STAND FOR. THEY ARE NO LONGER ABOUT "THE MUSIC" THEY ARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN DOLLAR!!!!
lets remake pretty in pink (not that its equal to rhps) with lindsay lohan, get her working again. seriously, we need to snatch it up before anyone else.
SIIIIIIIIIKE. fuck em.
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
HOW THE HELL CAN THEY DO THIS?!
CAN'T THEY JUST LEAVE THE GOOD MOVIES ALONE!!!!!!!!
Re: Awaha –
bahaha so true! HP is shit!
They better not but Timberfag in it!!!! ugh what a mistake this whole thing is….
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I used to go every Friday night to the movie theater and watch Rocky Horror Picture Show. We used to answer back to the screen, do the time warp in the aisle, all the crap. I don't even watch it when it's on TV. NOT THE SAME. MTV sucks. They are stupid, should stick with videos and get rid of their stupid bullshit tv shows.
This is wrong on so meny levals…..FUCK THOSE BASTERDS TO HELL!!!
that sucks
This has been the worst week EVER for me! First one of my favorite actors has to deal with all this crap from his horrible mom and sister (Christian Bale, who I STILL adore!) and NOW evil sellouts MTV are remaking one of THE best films EVER!!! This has to be some kind of nightmare. Oy…
travesty about my memories of childhood
Well shit. Now Rocky Horror Picture Show (once thought of a creepy and strange) is going to be thought of as cool and sweet and whatnot. Seriously this makes me so freaking sad. Rocky Horror is one of my favorite movies of all times. I know every freaking song. MTV ruins shit. Seriously.
anyone notice the public outcry over this, nobody tried to post first on their comments
a pettition and protest must be made
Re: ashle – Re: ashle –
Egregious. Really. Just unacceptable.
i like it
No, no, no. They can not do this. RHPS is one of my favorite movies ever, please MTV don't ruin this. And how could you do this and then add songs that weren't in the original?
No one can replace Tim Curry! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
fuck no! gay!
NO! sweet jesus what a horrible idea!
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do NOT fuck with RHPS. That is epic and can never be recreated. No freaking way.
i just started a f-b group about this, if anyone wants to join : Sod off MTV, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is Already Perfect!!
oh HEEELLLLL no
NOOOOO!!!!! I use to go to the midnight showing by the beach all the time and everyone would be dressed up. Good times.
Now i watched the ORIGINAL last night for about the hundreth time….and I said to my hubby if they ever remade it, which surely it would happen as studios are so out of fresh ideas they fuck with classics all the time, then the only way it would not totally suck would be for them to cast Dave Grohl as Frank. Seriously, think it over…..the Low video for a start…..it WOULD work.
WTF MTV is ridiculous you cannot remake a classic thats like saying lets remake Pretty Woman or To Kill a Mokingbird!!
what the fuck?!?!?!
no no no no no no no no no no no
why why why why why why why why.
This is bull shit.
I hope that the people at MTV see these comments. It's pretty much unanimous that this is one classic that cannot, MUST not, be remade. There's simply no way to recapture the magic of the RHPS, and it's incredibly arrogant of MTV to even consider trying.
Boycott MTV. Boycott their sponsors. And let them know why.
not ok
Noooo! Could this be true? Does Richard O'Brien approve? Say it isn't so!
blasphemy!
In all seriousness, i'm so pissed i'm developing a rash on my hands right now!!!!
Re: jalli – no. it wasn't. it was a "prequel"
Good Job MTV!!! You've made me break out in a rash and cry!!! I hope your Fucking Satisfied!!!!!!
GREAT!!! iTS SPREADING UP MY ARM!!!!! ….*sniff* Sweet tranvestite is on my ipod right now and my arm feels like its on fire its itchie!!!!
HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT???
I'm going to crawl into bed and cry now.
My name is Magenta, by birth. No kidding. Wow, i am beside myself with this news…
MTV!? of ALL things!!!! DON'T FUCK WITH GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Just redo step up 1 or 2 or the fast and the motherfucking useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should sue…
Don't worry Perez, these 80's babies don't know and will never understand the RHPS. I doubt you were born very much earlier than that anyway, long live the cultured!
This is just further proof, that there are no new original ideas left. Everything today is a remake, or a sample, or a blatant rip off of something that has been done before, and was done better. Whatever! i'm glad I was around the first time. Poor kids the lame you have to endure…..
Noooo wtf is wrong with the world
Great!! My rash is now on my knees, i have never so pissed that i've actually broke out in a rash!!!
Re: angel – You stupid bitch, I'm an 80s baby and my MOTHER introduced me to Rocky Horror. I appreciate and love it. Don't be a judgy old cunt. kthnx.
I honestly just shed a tear. They could never make the new one as good as the old one. eff mtv.
NOOOO! Rocky Horror is a classic! Remaking it now would just ruin it, lets face it, trannies, being gay and pre-marital sex are no longer shocking topics like they were back when the original film was made, thats one of the reasons why it's such a classic. The new version will just be lame.
noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my this sucks!! now people at my school will sing the half ass crappy versions of the songs and never even have seen the original!!!!!!!
ALSO wat about meatloaf?!!!!
•
FFFFFUCK "mtv"
•
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is going to ruin everything for me.
noooooooooooooo!
why mess with that classic! mayne this sucks
here in KY they have a show every month downtown in the old theater…
DAMNNN this ruins errrrthang
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
MTV!? You have got to be kidding me. That is total BULLSHIT! No one can come up with original ideas anymore and it's fucking pathetic. I'm so pissed, what the fuck!
nonononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononono NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How could you MTV?!?!?!?
The apocalypse has officially started :'(
do you realize how there are no original movies anymore? every movie out now is based on a comic book, a movie remake, trendy books, a shitty 3457th sequal. there are no more original hollywood movies and that SUCKS. they are too afraid to not spend money on something that isn't already pop. they have NO BALLS. hollywood insults our intelligence with so much bullshit. this is why i rarely go to the theatre anymore.
wtf?
tim curry IS rocky horror picture show.
there's no way.
they WISH they could.
I agree with you Perez, they are going to ruin this cult classic!! WHYYYY??
Sacriledge! Please no! Nothing can beat the original
What The Fuck!!!
There Is Only One Rocky Horror Picture Show…MTV Are Going To Kill This…This Is Going To Lack In Everything The ORIGINAL Has And Will Always Have…Fucking Boycott MTV!!!!
This decade is complete shit. WHY RUIN ROCKY HORROR? Who can replace Curry?!? NOBODY. I am going to protest this at the next RHPS MIDNIGHT VIEWING I go to!
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is one of my favorite ever all time films! THEY CAN'T REMAKE A MASTERPIECE!
This is going to be terrible.
THEY'RE GOING TO RUIN IT!
this is, quite possibly, worse than killing myself.
i saw RHPS when i was nine, and it's one of the greatest memories of my childhood. staying up till 1 watching RHPS with my dad.
please, MTV, don't destroy my childhood.
Great! I hope the use Zac Effron as Franen Furter. They should use the whole cast of High School Musical….SIKE! Quit fucking with all the shit I grew up! You fucking idiots in Hollywood just mess them up and wind up giving the original movie bad reputations.
oh my GOD! the other day i was talking to someone about Rocky Horror and how it's not a movie you can(or should!) remake!! the original was awesome, why mess with it? MTV you have enough money, stop being greedy assholes though i know it's not possible for you to do so, obviously…
I LOVE TIM CURRY!!!
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS??
Fuck off, why would they go there.
what the fuck.. no!!
I had the pleasure of seeing Richard O'Brien at a friend's party last evening. He performed an acoustic version of 'The Time Warp' and it was awesome!
thats disgusting! I can't believe they are fucking with Rocky Horror - hasn't these executives got a fucking imagination and come up with something new and original, instead of fucking up a classic
OH.MY.GOD. Why would they do this?! Carmen- A Hip Hopera was ear-bleedingly bad enough, but this?!
if they must remake it, then I must be in this remake!
does anyone know anything about the castings and such?
i officially hate mtv now. that movie is not meant to be touched!! it's obvious that it will turn out shit.
NOBODY likes the idea of a RHPS remake. i hope mtv reads the comments around the web and changes its mind. it would be just fucking wrong to mess with this classic!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The remake is going to suck!
.
Let me guess, they will do that mind numbing
quick editing which got old about 15 years ago.
.
The dance numbers will be phony because with the
quick editing you will see perhaps two dance steps before
the next edit, so nothing will be seamless,
the dances could be filmed two steps at a time over a month,
which takes no skill.
.
They will add preachy global warming crap, and preachy
left wing crap, and preachy political crap.
.
They will add crappy new songs and rap which
does not fit the mood and I HATE
THIS REMAKE ALREADY!!!
RASH MANLY
WHY REMAKE IT? IT WAS PERFECT CASTING … TIM CURRY AND SUSAN SARANDON … Amazing movie, and if they want money from a theatrical release just RE-RELEASE THE ORIGINAL. Don't remake, just re-release the original. Stupid MTV clowns. I WILL NOT be watching. But I am afraid for the younger generations who never got to see the original who might somehow think that whatever piece of shit MTV comes up with is "good." Please, kids, if you want to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show, rent the original. It won't be the same as going to the theatre and getting to throw toast, but I imagine plenty of theatres still must have midnight matinees of the real thing?
Let's do the time warp again…it's just a jump to the left and a step to the riiight…
OMFG!
This is an outrage! The Rocky Horror Picture Show is considered of of the most important movies of the 70's and after, why must a fucking shit network like MTV touch this wonderful, wonderful movie?!?!
There's no WAY they can top the original. NO WAY!
We must start a campaign or something!
FUCK U MTV! How u dare! Don't touch my RHPS! Fuck u, you're a piece of crap!
Why oh why? Leave it be!
No way!!!!!!! There should be laws against this kind of stuff… oh wait, there is! STICK TO THEM PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! NOT impressed by this!
By far the worst, piece of shit, crap movie ever made. Why even try to polish a turd?
No no no. No no no no no. No no and even more no. Who the hell does MTV think they are? Rocky Horror is a CULT CLASSIC. You don't fuck with that. They are going to cast Heidi and Spencer and some other douche bags and completely ruin it. Thanks MTV for yet again making the world a worse place to live. You trashed your network, why do you have to go after things people actually like?
Re: Hanna –
Which is EXACTLY why MTV shouldn't redo this movie. Kids like you are missing the point completely. You don't do the fucking time warp in a mall. Fucking idiots these days…
Re: Regin –
If that constitues your worst week ever, I want your fucking life.
one must never play with perfection it CANNOT BE MAKE WITHOUT TIM CURRY HE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE DR FURTER
the remake could only be an ABOMINATION
OMG WHY are they doing this?It's perfect as it is. Genius in cross-dressing and songs…
This is a sad day
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE IT ALONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT MOVIE IS BRILLIANT THE WAY IT IS!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOO! Eff you MTV!
the fuck??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OMG thats the stupidest thing ever!! the RHPS cannot be remade or even thought about remaking it! these people probably think its a good idea but it will just get low ratings and SUCK!!
i bet you would like it if zac efron was rocky tho…
THAT IS WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG !!!!!! WTF are they thinking!??!?!!?!?!?!
that movie was too weird for me.. i know its a cult fav but it just sucked..guess you have to be gay to understand it
NOOOOO! *Cries* The original is the only way to go! DON'T WATCH THE MTV ONE PEOPLES!
*Beats up whoever decided this*
IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?! RHPS IS THE BEST GOD DAMN MOVIE EVER EVER WHY FUCK WITH PERFECTION WE SHOULD START A ONLINE PETITION TO MAKE THEM STOP. WHY M T GAY? GO TO HELL I HATE MTV AND THEY HAVE MADE ME PUT OUT A HIT ON THEM NOW. DOWN WITH STUPID MTV AND THEIR BROADCASTING FAMILY CBS DOWN WITH THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the BEST Tim Curry EVER looked.
It was a moment in time, my friends, a moment in time.
A HUGE mistake to try to re create that. UGH.
Oh dear god.
Nobody can replace Tim Curry!
Down with MTV =\
this is so wrong! They can't do this! You can never recreate a classic. I hope this sucks
