That is wrong on so many levels. I feel ill

I think it be funnier and cooler if they let Charles Manson be in a musical I would definitely go see that.
So wrong.
Epic FAIL.

I watched the original this morning to make sure I could get the thought out of my head...I feel sick again...I hate MTV...
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok ummmm NO! This is wrong and it should be against the law to remake this movie! Like it should have been against the law to make "Scarlett" and "Psyco". It just UGH! I have no words!
I agree!! Tim Curry can NEVER be replaced!! I will petition against this !! Let me sign!! I hate MTV too .. I can honestly say, it has been about 10+ years since I have watched that channel .. I think I was still in HS the last time I put that channel on!! This is the first I have heard of this!! RHPS is a cult classic and should not be messed with!!
No. No.No!
Tim Curry is IT! Point blank period. I will never acknowledge anyone else, ESPECIALLY Marilyn Manson.
Curry is the man! This is wrong!
Sacrilege!!!
This is something I'm in no hurry to see. I'm so tired of movies being remade. Are they out of ideas?
The first one was fine. Why fix something that isn't broken? No one can top Tim Curry in my opinion.
Marilyn Manson?! WTF?
Hmmm...I wonder if Hanna Montana will be Janet?
LOL MsMojo. But I agree with everyone here. Bad idea. Hope they don't go through with it
Seriously bad freaking idea!!!!!
To understand the living, you got to commune with the dead.

I totally agree with everything said it the original post.
Blasphemy. Marilyn Manson...he WISHES.
I also read yesterday that a huge remake of 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' is opening in December...starring? Keanu Reeves. I give up.
Who do we talk to about starting a petition...Perhaps the RHPS fan club...I think they would have a lot of pull on the matter...It would be like remaking Freaks! They have already trashed Hairspray. Time to kick some booty!
God help us all..no one can top Sir Tim Curry ...how dare they even try....
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.
This is like Blasphemous...
How in the world could anyone do this...there is something sooo special about the originial how can you ruin that with a cheap rip off remake....I wish Tim Curry would get pissed and freak out or something...
I am sooo glad I'm not alone on this one...
Good God. Rocky Horror. The Day The Earth Stood Still. So, how many more movies are they going to completely fuck over before they get the idea that this is a Very Bad Idea?
And Marilyn Manson as Dr. Frank-N-Furter? Because that would EVER be good? I don't fucking think so.
No Way !!!!!!!!!! Somebody is fulla shit on this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!
No disrespect to Scott; and to all of you guys who have strong feelings about this...but I have never seen it.
I have never seen it.
I have on at least two occasions; many years ago; watched my ex-wife get dressed in rather revealing attire; in order to go to "midnight" showings.
Always going with "girlfriends".
"Have fun; baby...I always said...
I hope she had fun; she seemed to.
Lovely woman; she.
I've never been to a midnight showing...Living in the bible belt sucks. I think they have them in Atlanta but having kids puts the skids on anything fun. I'm shooting for going for my 40th birthday!
Oh the horror...
That incredibly lame attempt to remake 'Psycho' a few years ago should have taught someone a lesson. Studio execs don't give a rat's ass for tradition though, as long as the smell of money is in the air they just don't care. I'm beginning to despise the movie industry...never thought I'd say that.
WHY. Why would you do this Fox, WHY??
"Death doesn't really worry me that much, I'm not frightened about it... I just don't want to be there when it happens."
I've heard rumors for years of a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show...all I can say is, with all of the crappy remakes of classic films over the years (Black Christmas, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and now they're working on new versions of Jaws, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th) you'd think Hollywood might turn around and get an original idea.
WTF? this has to be a joke, omgosh they are going to ruin it!!!!!!

Whats next, Jack Black as Eddie? Good God. Some things are best left untouched. Rocky Horror is one of them.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!
dammit I wish they would leave certain things ALONE!
Remember the live action version of "Charlottes Web"?? pissed me off...you're messing with my childhood
now this!!!?
wtf?
don't mess with my drunken teen years too!
Oh my God I never thought of that Mandee! I feel....BLaaaaaaa! SOrry.
Just say NO!
Oh my god I can see it now.
Jessica Simpson as Janet
Zac Efron as Brad
Ashton Kutcher as Rif Raf
Oh stop the pain, stop the torture. Surely Richard O'Brien has more brains than to allow this to happen?
I have only one question: WHY?????????????
You see this also with horrormovies. All of a sudden they are remaking horrormovies from the eighties. And most of them were not even that good to begin with.
Some people just need a high five.... in the face.... with a chair...
It's a go. Remakes always stink... This from today's Philadelphia Inquirer...
'Rocky Horror' remake a go
Variety says a remake is in the works for the 1975 rock musical Rocky Horror Picture Show, which has since become one of the nation's most phenomenal cult phenoms. (Over the years, it has grossed more than $140 mil in domestic box office.) No word yet on the cast.
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted--nevermore!
Ranks right up there Bad News Bears, Planet of the Apes, and Vanishing Point, Should not be done .
I'm gonna see if I can dig up some more dirt...
At risk of my life, I'm going to say it...maybe this new venture will be good fun in it's own way?
I love the original; but nothing is 'sacred'. Art stops when people start protecting things and ideas. Ok you may say that MTV will ruin it, and maybe they will, but give them a chance. It just might be bloody good fun. I mean nobody shrieked when Willy Wonka was remade, largely because la Depp was in it. It wasn't a great film and I don't think it was as good as the original but it was Ok and hasn't killed anyone to date. there were a couple of scenes that I thought topped the original.
Worst case scenario; in any piece of bad art, there is always something to like.
Halogirl...You are young...I Screamed a hemmorage when they remade Willy Wonka. I love Johnny Depp but you can't beat Gene Wilder. RHPS is a sacred institution. It is a classic. It would be like remaking Casablanca with lookalikes...Call me an old fogey but this is breaking my heart...
Hollywood is dead, definetely.
I still might cry...
