Rocky Horror Picture Show to be remade?
mat_mantra:
Funny thing, after reading this last night, i went out today and noticed that the theater group on base is doing a production of Rocky Horror. Gonna see if i can't get involved somehow
Bayley:
okay here's an example (though those of you who don't appreciate it probably couldn't give two shits either way):
the sound of music. it was a stage musical, which was then adapted into a movie. and while it is constantly reproduced as a stage musical, would it not be ludicrous to attempt a film remake? is andrews' not the definitive version of maria? is there any need whatsoever to touch that film? again, this is assuming you liked it in the first place.
i see rocky horror as the same. yeah, it was a stage musical. but the film version is definitive. iconic. etc. curry is frankenfurter. any serious attempt at a full-scale reproduction would just be pointless and unnecessary. why fuck with classics?
Border Reiver:
No, otherwise we'd never have gone beyond Bela Lugosi's Dracula. Same principle.
ThePQ4:
Welllllll...that may not have been a bad idea?
Oh man, guys...I got so mad last week. I found out our local Theatre Guild was doing a rendition of Rocky Horror this past weekend, and I had to WORK so I couldn't go. I was sooooooooooo sad I couldn't go. A friend of mine went (and wanted me to go too, but I was working and i left my wallet at school when I went home for the weekend) and said it was amaaaaaaaaaaazing.
I have the worst luck sometimes...

My daughter is the stage manager for a production of "The Rocky Horror Show" opening this coming weekend, in Dayton, Ohio.
I will call her and tell her to break a leg.
