MTV To Remake The Rocky Horror Picture Show

 

Oh boy, the remakes just keep on coming….

Now Variety is reporting that a remake of 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show is in the works and get this….MTV is developing it.

Lou Adler, executive producer of the original film, is partnering with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios on the new rendition.

The new version will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.

“I’d like to see it shown a year from this coming Halloween, but that’s up to MTV,” Adler said.

The director and casting decisions have yet to be announced. The original starred Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf and grossed $140 million domestically since its 1975 release.
