From the trailer. Thanks for that in depth explanation, Gary, I wonder if this remake would be rated R or if they would tone it down to PG13. Most likely the latter, unfortunately. This has disaster written all over it.

In other news, original RHPS creator not pleased about remake. Can't say I blame him really, I think it's a disgrace to go ahead without even bothering to consult him. But again, if MTV cast it right, it might be okay.

But again, if MTV cast it right, it might be okay. Let's review this statement. If MTV casts it right? MTV? MT f*ckin V? Are you serious??? Riff Raff would be Ashton Kutcher, Frankenfurter would be Nick Cannon, and Magenta would be Tila Tequila. MTV will never do these characters justice...

i don't know if this info has been put up already (i'm too lazy to look). if so, i apologize. the creator of the original doesn't seem to thrilled about this remake and says he didn't even know about it until people started sending him clippings about it. 14 August 2008 5:01 AM, PDT A remake of cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been slammed by its creator Richard O'Brien. The original 1975 film, starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Meat Loaf, was a cult hit for O'Brien and MTV bosses are keen to replicate its success. But the Brit won't be involved - and is not happy the remake is going ahead without him. He says, "I have no view on whether it should be remade but it doesn't have my blessing. "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 U.S. papers."
