You can’t remake a cult classic, no matter what movie it is. And the fact that MTV is doing kind of makes me want to cry, but it may be a good thing as well.

I’m not for the remake. To me, it would be like remaking Pink Floyd’s: The Wall. Completely out of the question. When/If this comes out, I’m going to go see it, but only because I feel obligated. I went to see the live action Dragon Ball movie (which was horrible, by the way).

I heard Marilyn actually turned down the role of Frank-N-Furter. It makes me wonder who they’ll ask next. Johnny Depp?

Just because it’s an old movie, barely got any recognition, and is about a sweet transvestite doesn’t mean that you should remake it to fit the common public. Are you going to remake Sixteen Candles and Fast Time At Ridgemont High, too?

Why MTV and Fox, why?

first things first,
many may not like manson for his music or taste in visuals… but i’m sure all of you heard his music that he produced for dozens of popular films like queen of the damned & resident evil. he’s an amazing producer. & a very thought provoking actor. i give him a lot of credit for those two things. not to mention i am a die-hard fan of his.

second, rocky horror is one of those movies that have come and gone.. and yet people still remember the sweet transvestite, and know how to do the time warp. i, myself, have done skits including those songs and monologues from that screenplay. i honestly think this is a horrible idea to do a remake of this cult classic. whether you like it or not, it’s still a classic well-known around the world. has anyone NOT learned from the previous remakes of classics? some do fly.. and most don’t. this, by far, will not fly.

keep a classic a classic. don’t ruin it for it’s orignal fans. and don’t force a new generation into liking a remake. if you wanna show them rocky or a classic, show them the classic.

im pissed about this… u cant change a cult classic there is absolutely nothing wrong with the rigina rocky horror and there i no reason for a remake… and true, sickly obsessed fan of rocky horror picture show, such as i, would never support this so those of you who claim to be fans and support this remake obviously never had a true rocky experience, and i cant believe u guys are comparing Marilyn Manson to Tim Curry because no one will ever be a better frankenfuter then him, although Marilyn Mason might play the part well he will never get even close to the amazing frankenfuter tim curry created. i can believe MTV actually considered makingthis a remake never mind actually go through with this… im soooooo upset

mmkay,
I’ve seen ONE supportive comment posted and I would have to say, right on. I LOVE The Rocky Horror Picture Show and I believe that this remake won’t be AS good as the first one, but it will still, straight up, kick some ass. Marylin Manson is pretty much a GOD to me so I’m a bit biased to the idea but I mean come on. Are you all just gonna sit there and be so narrow minded about this miracle? My friends and I are totally jazzed to see how this movie turns out and if you didn’t like the first one then the easy answer is to not go see this one…duh.
Some fans may be angry about a remake but as I said before, don’t be so narrow minded about things; open your eyes and accept new things. That’s the only way to live life to the fullest, n’yah mean? <3

Marilyn Manson is light years away from being as SEXY

and ELECTRIFYING as Tim Curry was. I can’t imagine

anyone else playing Dr. Frank Furter.

amanda nestor—NO!

im your average fan of this movie. not huge and crazy, but i do like it. a remake will be shit. the only reason it will be remade is the same reason all films are being remade….cos noone can think of new scripts. any decent new scripts will never be considered as they are not a popular medium for the general audience of today. so, it would be too much of a risk for any movie company to try anything out.

balls.

I, for one, am completely stoked that this is happening! I’m a HUGE Rocky Horror Picture Show fan and I absolutely LOVE Marilyn Manson! I think the two combined would be phenomenal! Many of my friends agree that this is so exciting and we can’t wait to find out if this “rumor” is true. To see this remake done would be so incredible and yeah it may cause some drama, but who cares??? Does it really seem like any true Rocky Horror fans or Marilyn Manson fans really care about the drama and the reaction of the everyday public? Ha. Not at all.

[…] since it was announced that MTV would remake The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I’ve been kind of waiting to see just how badly they could mangle the thing. Love it or hate […]
