Rocky remake leaves O'Brien cold

A remake of cult 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show is being produced without the blessing of its creator Richard O'Brien, he has told the BBC.

It was announced on Wednesday that the new version, which will be co-financed by Sky Movies in the UK and MTV in the US, would be co-produced by O'Brien.

But he told the BBC he would not be involved "in any way".

"I have no view on whether it should be remade but it doesn't have my blessing," he added.

The original 1975 film, starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Meat Loaf, has become a kitsch classic.

The plot revolves around young American couple Brad and Janet who accidentally stumble into a strange world of alien transvestites and overt sexuality.

I'm not co-producing it and I won't be involved in any way. The first I heard about it was when people sent me cuttings from US papers
Richard O'Brien

Sky announced on Wednesday that Lou Adler, executive producer on the original film, would return in the same role, while O'Brien would co-produce.

But, speaking on Wednesday afternoon, O'Brien told the BBC: "I'm not co-producing it and I won't be involved in any way.

"The first I heard about it was when people sent me cuttings from US papers."

He later told BBC Radio 5 Live that his involvement had been announced "to suggest I've given the project my seal of approval".

The original was "a wonderful movie", he said.

"I don't know where they'll go with it really," he added.

"I've even heard that they're going to put new songs in.

"I wrote the book, the music and the lyrics.

"Where are they going to get the songs from? Who's going to do that? That's a bit strange isn't it?"

Sky said the cast and director of the new version are yet to be announced.

Lou Adler said: "The Rocky Horror phenomenon has a life of its own that has reincarnated itself in numerous ways since its birth.

"Our hope has always been that each new endeavour and rebirth will expose the Rocky Horror experience to new audiences and expand the fan base." He said the original film would continue to be enjoyed "by new fans and old alike".

The new film will have its UK premiere on the Sky Movies channel.

The film started life as stage show The Rocky Horror Show in 1973.

It was adapted for cinema as The Rocky Horror Picture Show two years later and has generated an enthusiastic and dedicated following.

Audiences to both the stage and screen versions are encouraged to dress up like the show's characters.

O'Brien said the stage show had gone from strength to strength with a production opening in Sydney recently and one due to open in Berlin by the end of the year.

I always kind of thought of RH as the film not too freaky drama class kind of folks / people who wanted to be really freaky but just weren't or had to wait til they left home to be got into... if you know what I mean? My best friend loves it - so I don't discriminate - but I never got the mass appeal. I have noticed that fat chicks always want to be magenta.

You have every right to. I would stand up for you in court.

ugh, and now knowing Richard O'Brien does not like this idea at all and will not be involved... MTV makes me sick.

what are they going to remake next? Pyscho? Pulp Fiction? The fucking Godfather?

salt · #48 08-17-2008, 12:41 PM

Oh yeah Britney will end up being Janet and show us her awesome acting skills.

God I dread the day this comes out and all these little MTV fucks are promoting it and saying it's paying homage to the previous RHPS.

Russell Brand Denies Rocky Horror Offer

British funnyman Russell Brand has not been offered the lead role in the remake of cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show - despite reports that he is to star in the film.

The original 1975 movie, which starred Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Meat Loaf, is set to be remade, with studio bosses keen to replicate the original's success.

And it had been rumoured that the comedian was favourite to take on the role of transvestite scientist Frank N Furter.

But his agent denies Brand has been approached to star in the remake.

He says, "It's news to me. It wouldn't surprise me if they wanted him but they would have plenty of hoops to jump through."
