Well, it's a shitty idea, but what the hell.

Eddie Izzard as Frank N. Furter, and John Krasinski as Brad. That's all I got for now.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Meh. Never saw the original.

In what i'm sure will piss some people off :lol: here's the Glee promo for their episode dedicated to Rocky Horror

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

this won't be good.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

John Barrowman for Frank N. Furter, Eddie Izzard for Riff Raff, Nick Frost for Eddie, Jesse Eisenberg for Brad, Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Janet, Angelina Jolie for Magenta, Karen Gillan for Columbia, Oliver Platt for Dr. Scott, and of course Tim Curry as the Narrator.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

I couldn't get into the original. I saw it when I was 15 or 17. I should probably give it a try. It just doesn't seem something that'd appeal to me. Oddly enough..when The Drew Carey show did a small bit of it...I liked that homage to it. I'll give it a try, I guess.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Quite simply, it has to be seen at midnight in a theater WITH a live floorshow and a crowd that's into it.

Otherwise there's absolutely no point.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Yeah but it's got to stand on it's own merits as a film too. Instead as an "experience" or whatever. I mean...seems like it's a good film from the way people talk about it.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

First time I saw it was around Halloween when KTVU, the local Fox affiliate, would play a version where there was an theatrical audience w/stage that would be cut-to at the musical numbers. It actually pissed me off and preferred the regular viewing mode.

It's definitely an odd movie and I prefer Shock Treatment over it.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

It is not a good film, and no one really "likes" it actually likes the movie.

It's a fun film to watch with others and the music is pretty catchy. But it is really really really stupid to watch simply as a film.

This is a dumb fucking idea from Fox. The ONLY way it works is if they actually make a good movie out of it. Sort of how the original Little Shop of Horrors is terrible (they shot it over a weekend) but the remake is outstanding.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

No role for Christina Hendricks? :mad:

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Magenta, period.

Oh yeah, and grumble grumble no remake

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

I never liked the original, but I'll admit to have never seen it with the full "experience".

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

How about Eva Amurri as an obvious choice for Janet?

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

I'm a huge fan. Seen it entirely way too many times in theaters over the past 25 years. The movie is terrible. RHPS is famous for the midnight-movie audience participation experience, not the quality of the film itself.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Have to agree with this.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

The movie really is terrible, but that doesn't mean you can't like it either. I love tons of terrible movies, despite their shortcomings. Still, remaking it (probably to a PG-13 rating and all the "unsavory" bits removed) misses the point entirely.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

An RHPS remake really needs Joss Whedon. There's no one else in Hollywood today who could make something that stupid without it seeming stupid.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

With Nathan Fillion as Angela Davis!



It's Nathan Fillion. Period.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

I love RHPS and Glee, but I think this is a bad idea....

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Speaking of...Buffy alums Anthony Stewart Head and Amber Benson performing songs from RHPS.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

This was something that I could never get into. Granted I haven't ever seen it with a crowd like some are saying you need to in order to "get the full experience" but I've never really had that opportunity. Plus to be honest it just doesn't really seem like my cup of tea, and I'm not usually very big on musicals.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Never heard of her. Looking her up on wikipedia reveals that I've never watched anything she's in. Ish she a good actress or are you casting her soley because of her rack?

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Oh, yeah, duh. Toss out Angelina Jolie, move Karen Gillan over to Magenta, Christina Hendricks takes Columbia.

That was a close one!!

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Good enough to play Janet in RHPS

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

She's got her mother's boobs.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Yep. That girl turned out HOT. Her mom is still sexy too.

I've seen RHPS many times over the years and I LOVE everything about it. That said I'm ok with a remake because it won't take away from the original film.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

This.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Glad we caught that in time to get it fixed. :D

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

He's suggesting her because she's the daughter of Janet from the original film.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Dammit, Janet, I love you(r boobs)!

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Yeah. I gathered that once I read her bio. Originally I jumped straight to her filmography.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

I like the original movie. :shrug:

I don't know that it really needs a re-make, but I'm not going to boycott it or anything. Yet. :)

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Oh, it'll still seem stupid. It's just his apologists will insist that it isn't.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Do people actually still believe the "toad struck by lightning" line was only bad because of Halle Berry? :confused:

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

I love the idea of Eddie Izzard in the role of Frank. Let's make this happen people.

I love the original film... I watch it at home and enjoy it and I used to date a Janet back in high school.

The blu-ray doesn't really give you that great feeling of eating food out of a chick's mouth, humping sex toys, or kissing members of the same sex that going to a live show does though ;)

You need to get a Baz Luhrmann involved though.

Someone call Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

This phrase should never be uttered in the civilized world again.

Re: Fox wants to remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
 

Hey... I said "a" Baz not "the" Baz. :)

Gotta admit that Moulin Rouge is the RHPS of the 2000s though. There are even shadowcasts for that film as well.
