I'm with Halogirl, I'd watch MM do "Sweet Transvestite"....it would probably not be very good, but I'd still like to see his take.....much darker surely....
Hell, I'd like to see Tom Cruise do it! Imagine!
I mean this in the nicest possible way Mach2 because I honestly believe that you could "get it." I'm thinking you're young, by the way, right?
Anyway, rent the DVD, remove the stick from your ass, have a couple of cocktails to lighten up your mood and watch it a few times. If you don't get it then, you never will.

Neon, you are my hero...
Someone should start a petition to not remake this movie. When this thread came up the other day I looked for email addresses and phone number contacts incase anyone wanted to send their thoughts about this to the people financing this POS, I had no real luck. Let's hope the project falls apart or they come to the realization that they need to leave this one alone!
FYI: MTV Films is a subsidiary or Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox is a subsidiary of News Corporation. Good luck at getting to any real contacts to complain about this.
I have an idea.
Re-release the ORIGINAL Rocky Horror Picture Show...And let all the talentless hacks they're thinking about throwing into those unmatchable roles WATCH it!
There will never be a Frank who can out-Frank Tim Curry.
EVER!
Well I did find a petition someone started to halt the remake.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
No way, seriously? Geez, I wish they'd quit remaking films. I also wish they'd stop turning 70's tv series' into movies. Especially the ones that were animated when I was a kid, and are now...crap, I don't know what they are. Crap, that's it. They're crap!
Crap.

Why screw with perfection?
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!

Precisely! You can't catch lightening in a bottle like that twice. To think he's the next Tim Curry? Like hell! I think Jefe's right ... Manson is known for being grossly self-boasting. Remember, this is the same guy who said 'if the devil existed, he would be afraid of Manson, not the other way around.' Suuuuuuure.
If anyone on this board goes to the live rocky horror shows you might want to pass along this information/petition and get others to sign it.
Signed it.
Husband signed it.
Put the link on my website!!
Thanks for the info.

Typical. No way they can out-do the original. Why try? Stupid.
Sniff, sniff...You are all my people...
As much as I do adore Depp, this was one of his worst decisions. He brought no life to the Wonka role; if anything he sucked life right out of it and came off as weird and bland -- an impossible combo for "The Candy Man." Gene Wilder's portrayal was simply far better, and was endeared to so many hearts for his fab performance.
I knew Depp's version was going to be an "Epic FAIL," as Nessa says, the moment I saw how he dressed for the film .. it was Michael-Jacksonish and uncomfortably weird. He just didn't pull it off.
My kids love the original Willy Wonka. Depp version, not so much. I am a HUGE Tim Burton fan and I always enjoy his work so I had to watch it. Not as good as Wilder by a long shot...
This is great news! Please support this! This will finally kill what's left of that posers career. I'm not sure who MTV is(I'm guessing some sort of satellite or internet movie company), but I hope they invest all they can and then some. Great idea! I'll be looking for it on U-tube.

Is nothing sacred? Anything Tim curry has ever done never needs to be remade as it is perfect and cannot be made better. The very nerve, someone needs slappin'!
Ok, I've never heard that so let me rephrase.... Nothing I've ever seen or heard Tim Curry perform sucks. altho, there is a redition of "Baby Love" over on You Tube that I am kinda iffy about.
Clue is still one of my favorites...I will even watch the Wild Thornberries and Jimmy Neutron because of him...
You can't remake this flick, man! That's a travesty! Hollywood makes me so agitated because they wanna remake everydamnthing! Leave that classic film the hell alone! And Manson?
FUCKS NO!
Now it is said that Russell Brand is going to take the lead role instead of Manson.

Oh my gawd...It just keeps getting worse! I don't know if I can take it anymore...I know that not everyone is a RHPS fan...I happen to be one and I am not offended about anybodys opinion...I just wish they would leave well enough alone...If Richard O'Brien thinks its a bad idea then they should leave it be...It would be like remaking Gone With the Wind...
i love going to midnight showings of TRHPS
i bring an umbrella
Apparently he doesn't like it but has no say.

It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

Un-bloody-believeable! Wrong, wrong, wrong and again, sooooooooooo WRONG!!!
Nothing good can come of this.

All hail Tim Curry...
The money they are going to loose alone on this film will be terrible. Let alone the huge amount of annoyed fans around the world. Any actor should turn down a role for fear of Career Suicide.
I can't believe that they are going to remake it.
I agree with KarmaKat anyone who takes on the project will see their career end.
As for Richard O Brian. I have seen him on British TV shows hosting and making new pointless shows that are shown late at night. I know this is a very slim possibility but this is not about making money as he maybe a little short in the purse department?? Just a thought. I do not know too much about it.
I just hope that someone with half a brain realises that the only people who will go to watch this are (if Manson accepts) will be the Manson fans who will be too young to get in the cinema in the first place - No offense to Manson fans.
Leave the film alone!!!!!
i confess i dressed as a time warper a time or two.
