To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the hit cult phenomenon "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," Fox is remaking the film as a two-hour TV adaptation. It’s in the process of being cast, and Kenneth Ortega (High School Musical, Gilmore Girls, Hocus Pocus) will direct, executive-produce, and choreograph, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Now all I can say is, “Dammit, Janet!” At the risk of sounding like the grumpy purist I am, I’m not convinced that a TV adaptation of this movie is a good idea. Theater adaptations of Rocky Horror are one thing, since they often manage to feel like a riff on the original rather than a re-creation of it. Please help stop this from happening.
