Movie bosses at MTV have announced plans to remake cult classic THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
The new film will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien and be overseen by Lou Adler – the executive producer on the 1975 hit, which starred Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon.
Although casting decisions have yet to be made, Adler hopes the picture will be ready in time for October 2009.
He tells Daily Variety, “I’d like to see it shown a year from this coming Halloween, but that’s up to MTV.”
why do they have to wreck classics with terrible remakes, leave this one alone, no one can equal what Tim Curry did in the original and they shouldnt try

Whatever they try and re-create, it will be no comparison to the original. Why, oh why do people try and better what cannot be improved? Whoever makes/directs/stars in this farce of a movie will look complete fools.

I love the classic Rocky Horror, but I think it would be interesting to see a remake.
