The Rocky Horror Picture Show is set for a remake. The cult classic is over 30 years old and still delights viewers with its bizarre world where "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania" reigns.
The
1975 classic movie was based on a British stage show. The movie starred Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Richard O'Brien and singer Meat Loaf and featured songs like "Time Warp."
The cast has yet to be decided for the new movie. The remake will use the original screenplay. MTV and Sky Movies are behind the revival.
The film's executive producer Lou Adler, who is reprising his role from the original, said: "So here we go again, with a new cast, believing that the Sky and MTV remake will add to the Rocky Horror phenomenon."
I remember Rocky Horror well from my late teens and early adult Friday night ventures to midnight movies. Armed with toilet paper, condoms, squirt guns and an umbrella my friends and I lined up with the masses ready for more than just a movie experience. From the first time, when I was a mere virgin, until viewing it later with my kids I have been in love with the fun. Of course my kids have looked at me strangely when I jump up and do the time warp.
I hope this new version will do for future generations what the original did for my friends and I.
