NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

why remake this when there's now REPO! ?

Blasphemy! Utter, utter blasphemy. What's next? Jack Black as Riff Raff? Bleurgh.

those fucking dumb fucking idiots!!!!! this remake thing has gotten way the fuck out of control!

The very definition of "pointless remake". What an idiotic idea.

chances are jack will be eddy, god help us....

What in the HELL? This is really, really... BAD.

As a lifelong fan, I am appalled. Why does MTV feel compelled to do this? Most people don;t even like RHPS, why not just leave this for the fans?

I can see this remake a reality... if the cast is right. If you were in charge, who would you cast?

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING? NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES, AND NOW THEY'RE GUNNA SCREW IT ALL UP! CAN YOU IMAGINE THEM PUTTING A GIANT PG-13 ON THIS? OH MY FUCKING GOD, WE ARE ALL SCREWED IN THE ASS.

I thought you were talking about the boxing movie 'Rocky' with Stallone lol.

I was never the biggest fan of Rocky Horror, but I can appreciate it, the things it stood for, and the things it represented. A remake will do nothing, but parrot the songs and dialog. It's not going to shock anybody. It's not going to turn the movie world on its head. It's not going to open the eyes of future filmakers and broaden their creative view. The remake is simply going to be like the kid in your 3rd grade class who came to school dressed as Dracula for Halloween; in no way whatsoever was he Dracula, but there was "just enough" evidence in his "costume" to make it apparent that Dracula was what he was going for. And another thing. Weren't remakes reserved for the movie that hadn't played for a number of years and wasn't necessarily a popular rental either, so it was renewed for a generation who otherwise may not have known about it? Well, Rocky Horror never faded. It is still very much alive and well. It is still shown in theatres to this day. Besides, were you expecting MTV to make a "good" decision?

FUCK! I hate it when I hit the button twice!

This is a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea.

I'm not a hardcore RHPS fan but I do enjoy the movie and think it's pretty much perfect as it is. Absolutly no need to remake it. Especially not with MTV involved ... argh.

Yeah. I generally defend remakes, because great stories can be retold, and I like to give the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt. But ROCKY HORROR was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You can't create a cult film, and SHOCK TREATMENT (the sequel to the original) proved definitively that even the makers of a cult film are unlikely to catch lightning in a bottle twice. The original RHPS was a perfect mixture of the mood and sensibilities of the time, the catchy but twisted musical numbers, and the unforgettable performances of the leads (particularly Tim Curry). Remaking it means updating the music and themes for modern audiences, which means hip-hop and pop tunes that fly right in the face of the kind of outlaw rock and roll weirdness that made the original so perversely enjoyable. Society is far more permissive about sexuality nowadays, so the core themes will either have to be tweaked or homogenized for contemporary audiences, and the involvement of MTV tells me which approach is most likely. Finally, RHPS was ostensibly a parody of classic horror and sci-fi cliches, motifs that mean little to modern audiences who've grown up thinking "classic horror" means SCREAM, SAW, and the RESIDENT EVIL films. This figures to be, at best, a watered-down version of the original ala the recent HAIRSPRAY remake or, at worst, a HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL knockoff with a chronic and fatal case of faux-hipness. Very, very bad idea...

Rocky Horror High School Musical This is the most pathetic remake yet. Rocky Horror goes against everything MTV stands for. Oh well, I'm sure it will be a laughing stock.

Y'know, Jack Black as Eddie might not be that bad...if it had to be remade, I mean, which it DOESN'T.

I didn't mind it when The rumor was that Manson was going to play Tim Curry's role. But this.... MTV is getting that whorish little hands on it.

mother fuckers...what the hell

I'd have more faith in Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel pulling this off than I do in MTV. It'll be a Emo/Hip Hop travesty full of D-list "celebrity" guest stars, it'll be choreographed like a Pussycat Dolls video, the sexuality will be replaced with middle school double entendrss. It's gonna suck hard...

There's gun law, we need remake law. MTV need to keep their shitting hand off. We need to boycott MTV, WHO WITH ME..........

count me in....EVEN though i have never seen the original i have heard of it. i am sick of the remakes.

Screw MTV...this is utter bullshyt

fuck that shit,this pisses me off than any remake i've ever heard of

The original cannot be duplicated because what it stood for. O'Brien wrote the play and chose actors and actresses that he felt fit the roles like a glove. The movie had a LOT of the actors from the play in it, especially Tim Curry, the definative Frank. For when it was made and released, that just adds to the magic of WHAT it was. You CAN'T duplicate that. The same goes for a lot of horror movies. Even though you can remake them, rarely can you revisit a story and approach everything that stood out and make the same type of impact. This movie will fail, moreso cause MTV's behind it. I can see them casting Paris Hilton as Janet. Urgh.

I made a petition, please sign it and post it anywhere you can this has to be stopped now. http://www.petitiononline.com/RHremake/petition.html

This is the most ridiculous remake proposal yet.

this will (as mentioned in other posts) be an emo/"high school musical" hybrid shitfest.

Is nothing sacred?

THIS IS SACRILEGEOUS!! How DARE they even attempt to remake one of the most successful cult films of all time!!

Fuck MTV. Fuck them in their stupid asses.

LOL at the post above, i posted the same thing on myspace.

I'm going to be sick. Seriously. AND MTV? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

I think it's time to release the zombies.

MTV? Ooh, my nipples are hard with excitement, lol

This is a horrible idea for the thing that made the hills is making rocky horror no they need to be stoped

There is another petition at stoptheremake.com SAVE THE LIPS!!! This movie should never be remade. Nothing this great can happen twice!
