Fox has announced that they’ll be doing a new version of “Rocky Horror Show,” the 1973 play that was immortalized as a memorable film adaptation.
Fans are, of course, freaking out. Oh, what a horrible idea! How could they do it? It’s an insult! It’ll be terrible!
I don’t get it. Where were all the shrieking people when it was revived on Broadway back in the beginning of the century?
It’s a PLAY. It’s SUPPOSED to be done multiple times with different casts. We saw it several times back in 2001 with various actors. The narrator one time was Ðìçk Cavett and another time Penn & Teller. It was a lot of fun. And Terrance Mann was, quite frankly, a better Frankenfurter than Tim Curry. If Fox casts him in the new version (unlikely, but still…) you guys would be in for a treat.
Yes, the movie was great, but there is absolutely zero reason that a new one can’t be just as entertaining, and it will appeal to a new audience featuring actors they’ve enjoyed in other programs or films. I wish fans would learn to just chill the hëll out.
