[prophecy holder]

Is this true or an MTV joke?

God I hope its not true, you can not remake a classic like Rocky horror picture show. I am a huge fan of Rocky horror picture show (if you couldn't tell) and I think this is a terrible idea.

Rule of thumb: Don't remake a movie that's still in theaters.

It's a ridiculous idea. I love the original Rocky Horror but it's what it is due to very specific circumstances of the social environment when it was released which took ownership and turned the film (which frankly is not all that good) into something else. You can not recreate that on demand.

That idea can only be described with two words: EPIC FAIL

Rocky Horror worked fine in the more conservative era when it was given to us. It just wouldn't make any sense at all to do it now. But that's MTV... somehow they haven't figured out that rebellion is just a worn-out cliche.

Good Grief

They need to cancel this project right now and, when questioned as to why, proclaim that it was a "mercy killing".

Hollywood: Take something that sucks, and everyone loves. Make it just suck.

Most of the originals are still alive. Use them. Then it'd be funny. Well, intentionally. ;)
