Hollywood has sent up yet another signal that Armageddon is nigh! MTV is currently working on a bastardized version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Variety reports that the network is planning a remake, replete with new music. It's a sacrilege against camp and queers everywhere to touch Rocky Horror.

Folks have widely speculated on the casting but I like Tracy Gilchrist's suggestion for an all L Word remake of Rocky Horror, if we must have one, hahaha.

"Here’s my casting agent expertise at work. Shane as Riff Raff, Alice as Colombia, Kit as Magenta, Tina as Janet, Max as Brad, Jenny as Dr. Scott and we’d have to bring back Dana as Rocky.



And of course Bette would star as Tim Curry’s Frankenfurter, because Jennifer Beals’ transcendent sexuality makes her universally fuckable."


I gotta say...Crazy Jenny as Dr. Scott would be hilarious. Hell, Jenny Schechter as any character with a Ph.D. would be comedy gold.

nooooooo! they CANT make a different RHPS. its far to classic. i'm actually really sad about this. and new music? what? no! what about the props and callback lines that everyone loves so much? how about just a revival of the classic? yes? anyone?
