MTV is destroying, I mean remaking, The Rocky Horror Picture Show according to Variety. They will keep to the original 1975 movie, but they will add some music that didn’t make the first movie.
No cast has been announced, but if I could cast it…John Mayer or Justin Timberlake as Dr. Frank-N-Furter (I apologize to Tim Curry for suggesting them, but who doesn’t want to see those guys his outfits) seriously I would cast Craig Bierko as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Zac Efron and Mandy Moore as Brad and Janet, Tim Curry as Dr. Everett Von Scott, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson as Magenta and Columbia and of course Meat Loaf as Eddie!!!
They are trying to get this on the network a year from Halloween. I am not sure what is scarier…Halloween or the fact that MTV is remaking this midnight classic!!
NO ONE, could replace Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. No one. This is a travesty! I am already boycotting this.

This is total BS MTV has already ruined music television, music in general and the minds of so many young people who think they have to live how the actors on the tv show that have nothing to do with music live… HMMM strange mtv doesnt even have music anymore… And if they do remake this classic movie there will be hell to pay for everyone at the MTV Studios…. you cannot destroy a film such as Rocky Horror.
i just read this and want to barf. i am starting a list on my blog and sending it to the powers that be (idiots who thought this was a good idea) at mtv. blog.teddahughes.com

i hate mtv for this. i can forgive so much wrong they have done over the years. this is the last straw. ack. puke

I pretty much agree with Dijea, but I think Robbie Williams could *possibly* pull off a minimally reprehensible Frankenfurter.
I so want to boycott this, but I’m curious
I know the casting will be horrible. like that in the original post.
seriously, that made me cringe.
this is horrible

You cannot remake this awesome classic. I’ve been quiet about all the other stupid remakes they’ve been doing but this is pushing it! You will never be able to recreate how awesome it was made by Tim Curry, Little Nel, Richard O’Brien etc. This has to be stopped if this gets done then we really know that the world is for sure going totally wrong. This is the worst news i’ve heard in ages. How could you do this!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK. NO WAY IN HELL. MTV needs to learn their place in this world and just back the fuck off. This is something that shouldnt even be considered to be remade. I’m seriously pissed, I’m not going to shut up about this.

MTV proves it’s just a shallow shell of it’s former glorious self. Shame on Lou Adler, BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios on this catastrophe.
Having Zac Effron and Mandy Moore in it is exactly what we should be fighting AGAINST.
If they were to remake it, I’d want to see people that I don’t know very well in it.
God I’m so pissed off.
This is exactly why MTV sucks hairy balls.
WHAT THE HELL??!?!?!?!!?!?!? what is MTV thinking? NO ONE could ever be as good as tim curry! They are such STUPID BASTARDS!!!!

It just won’t work. Some things should be left alone. This is a bad for your karma y’all. It is perfect the way it is…no one wants a new “Rocky”…save your $.
