Rocky Horror Remake Slammed By Creator

A remake of cult classic THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW has been slammed by its creator RICHARD O’BRIEN.

The original 1975 film, starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Meat Loaf, was a cult hit for O’Brien and MTV bosses are keen to replicate its success.

But the Brit won’t be involved – and is not happy the remake is going ahead without him.

He says, “I have no view on whether it should be remade but it doesn’t have my blessing.

“I’m not co-producing it and I won’t be involved in any way. The first I heard about it was when people sent me cuttings from U.S. papers.”

MTV is going to attempt to ruin yet another cult classic. But don’t worry people the true cult will never die out and more than likely the remake will be watched by morons and gits who have no appreciation for classic cinema and will most likely be forgotten within a few years. Just like the hairspray remake (who watched that crap anyway)
