The Horror… The Horror: MTV to Remake Rocky Horror

LonelyVamp 07-25-2008

Variety reports that MTV is planning on remaking cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show. Sigh.

The network is planning on using the original screenplay (which, btw, is based on the stage musical) but may add songs. They’re hoping for a Halloween 2009 television premiere, but that’s not definite. No cast has been announced, which means there’s plenty of time for rumors to fly. Undoubtedly some will suggest star of the original Susan Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri to take over Sarandon’s part because people tend to think that kind of thing is cool, you know, keeping it in the family. Some people, that is.

They already redid TMNT with CGI turtles, but I am kind of surprised they have not tried to do another Ghostbusters, probably cause they'd have to do a complete recast, or someone is holding out.

yeah that's true, but yeah imagine if they just did it like the TMNT movie all CGI that be kinda cool

There seems to be a recent move to make it all CGI and it'll be good, which keeps being proved wrong, for certain animation styles/stories yes, but for a real world feel, nothing beats real sets/people yet.

yup I agree but I'm a Sci-Fi fan so I enjoy the CGI movies though I just like the graphic and the 3D

That's just it though you can have amazing sci-fi movies with out going all CGI, many of the best use puppets (Jim Hensons Creature shop makes some of the best looking aliens ever)
