    TIM CURRY WAS & IS THE ONLY TRANS-SEXUAL THAT I THOUGHT WAS SUPER SEXY!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS I STOPPED WATCHING MTV YEARS AGO!!!

    I hate MTV! You know they're going to turn it into some lame-ass High School Musical/Jonas Brother shit. If there is a God, a meteor will smash into the studio the day they start filming.

    210

    MTV just go back to MUSIC Video's. Just cuz you started in the 80's doesn't give you the right to rewrite history. NOOOO TO THE REMAKE.

    211

    OK, who's bright idea was this? Dear God, if you're up there Please don't let them turn one of my all time favorite movies into the next High School Musical. Can you see Zac Efron in a Bustier and Fishnet stockings? I think I might have a panic attack.



  12. 212

    OK, who's bright idea was this? They are going to turn one of my all time favorite flicks into another High school Musical. Can you see Zac Efron in a bustier and fishnets? I just might have a panic attack.

  59. Marie says – reply to this


    259

    Please NOOOOOOOOO! This is a classic! I protest! MTV should get a grip. This is the one and only original. But hey, what do you expect….Music VIDEO television has been seen in years. All that there is now is CRAP.They should be playing VIDEOS at leat 90% of the time. Thats why they lost most of their audience.

    no one should ever try to remake this classic. whoever thought this would be a good idea should be fired!!!! then again when isnt mtv desperate for shows they "thought would be a good idea"?

  64. sara says – reply to this


    264

    WHAT THE FUCK, they can't do that! No one can ever play a better Frank-N-Furter!! But since i'm 15, I'll probably watch the horrible MTV version just for the hell of it. Ew, wtf, they shouldn't touch a cult classic like this.

  65. miche says – reply to this


    265

    Hell NOOOOO! This is a classic. I won't watch it at all if they do a remake.

  66. Trina says – reply to this


    266

    NOOOO!!!!! I am old enough to remember the 80's (responding to court below) and at one point MTV was cool, you know when they playd music videos……….that is what they should stick to and leave RHPS and Tim Curry ALONE!!!!

  67. AR says – reply to this


    267

    YES! YES! YES! YES! Original is outdated..customes and overall look can be greatly improved….Cast RUSSELL BRAND as the transvestite!!

    Fuck no! This is not cool, MTV!

  69. Danie says – reply to this


    269

    I seriously doubt that the MTV crowd will get Rocky Horror. I am sure they will fuck it up entirely. This generation (and I am part of this generation) for the most part has not seen the orginal movie or stage production and will not even appreciate it. I am sure MTV will come up with some snazzy VFX for the movie that will cover up the hideous acting jobs. Who is going to top Tim Curry???

    No one.

    271

    MTV is sooooooooo lame! Horrible decision. Some things should not be messed with. Are they kidding? Who is this generation could do what the original cast did? No one is as creepy and wonderful as Tim Curry. We need to protest, and boycott, and bitch and bitch until they give up on this stupid idea! "Don't dream it"-leave our Rocky Horror Picture Show alone!!!

    Just what we need, another f***ing remake. It was perfectly good the first time. "everything but M"TV should know that you don't f*** with a cult classic!

    "everything but M"TV should stop making shitty movies. Wasting perfectly good money on crappy films and even more money on shitty, scripted, directed "reality" shows. Stick to music.

    Somebody. Anybody. Please come up with a fresh idea concerning movies. Stop beating the dead horse.

    Poor kids nowadays, how are they ever going to make their own impression on the future? All they're seeing and hearing is old shit redone. They'll only be creative when it comes to new ways to remake old shit. The way they speak, dress, and even act out. Its all been done before kiddos. Sorry, nothing you're doing is remotely creative nor innovative.

  88. Magen says – reply to this


    288

    ..wtf? just leave the classics as they are! like some chick was like "oh hairspray was a remake?" like omg, what are they also gonna ruin? Grease? they are already remaking some classics and butchering them, such as Dawn of the dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Cannibal Holocaust, Halloween..and not to menchan all the asian horror movies. Total protest, just leave the classic musicals alone they were brilliant the way they were with the original music!

  96. 296

    Okay, I keep looking at my calendar, PRAYING it's April Fool's Day and this is just a joke! What can we do, folks, to keep this from happening? I remember seeing this for the first time on campus and being incredulous that I was labeled a "virgin"! I introduced my mom to it years later, and she thought Frank-N-Furter was DAMN SEXY! Seriously, how can we stop this from being remade into oblivion?????

  97. me... says – reply to this
