Oh yeah, *this'll* end well.
Remake
#5
I have been a Rocky fan for a long, long, time, so please take this with a grain of salt.

I am unsure as to what MTV hopes to bring to this production. I doubt they will offer the flashes of nudity, with Little Nell's perky bells exposed. I
can't see them significantly raising the bar in terms of the performances. They could mix things up with Frankenfurter being played by a woman (the role
can and has been played by either sex).

It seems like a waste.

I would be more interested in them pursuing the supposed second chapter. While Shock Treatment is an interesting film, with some great satire, it is as
different to Rocky Horror as Rocky Horror is to pretty much everything else.

Or MTV could go the other route and create a very over the top version, cranking up the sex, violence, debauchery and cannibalism to the extreme. That would
be interesting, as excess is one of the virtues espoused in Rocky Horror.

Sad to say, like Star Wars, Rocky Horrow has a special alligator level response in my brain pan, and I will seek out the remake, if only to marvel at train
wreck.
