Fuck to the no.

Unless you get Will Swenson as Brad, bring back Meat Loaf as the criminologist, and John Cameron Mitchell as Frank (can Mark Rylance sing?).

Wait.

Fuck to the no.

Oh great. Now a whole new generation of boring, middle management types can unleash their 'freak' in an orderly and controlled setting.

Overheard in a production meeting: "Why won't this damn lightning go in the bottle?!?"

As long as they can get someone as jiggly as Susan Sarandon for Janet, Jason Segel as Brad, Bill Moseley to play Riff-Raff and Alan Rickman as the Criminologist, it won't be a disaster. But for this to go to the creator of fucking Glee is tragic.

Nice sentiment, but why bother?

EDIT: Dammit. Dickson.

I like how Hunter is desperately trying to fan-cast an ungay version of Rocky Horror.

There is no one as blindingly bizarre as O'Brien to pull this off right.

I'll see your Hathaway and raise you an Amy Adams.

This will only work if:

Frank N Furter - Denzel Washington
Janet Weiss - Melissa Joan Hart
Brad Majors - Ernest Borgnine
Riff Raff - Bob Odenkirk
Magenta - Lea Thompson
Columbia - Annette Bening
Dr. Everett V Scott - Josh Duhamel
Eddie - Tom Noonan
And the Black Eyed Peas as the Translyvanians
Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu

Only way.

I don't know, maybe I'm making this out to be way more of a sacred cow than it should be (and given the number of times I spent an otherwise boring Saturday night watching a cast do this in the theater, that's possible), but you can't remake this movie. Richard O'Brien didn't know he wrote a cult film, he just thought they were filming his weird little play. I remember an interview with him where he was watching it with a crowd doing audience participation once, and was blown away that there were such huge gaps in the dialogue for people to shout whole sentences back at the screen.

Anyone who remakes this movie will either leave that weirdness in intentionally, which will make it stupid, or will take it out, which will strip the charm away. On top of that, anyone who tries to do Frank after Tim Curry will always look like a horrible imitator. Leave this flick to the bored 17 year olds sneaking out to midnight shows.

If anything proves Hollywood is cannibalizing itself in rapid succession its this.

The creator of Glee? Where do they find these people?

Want to remake Evil Dead or Mad Max as well?

Russell Brand is gonna be Frank-N-Furter. You know this will happen.

That'd be terrible. I wonder if it'd be entertaining in a bad way though.

What the hell are you thinking Fox?

I'd have thought they'd go after Depp for Frank -N-Furter. Plus Tim Curry as the criminologist, to tie it all together.

Not sure how I missed this, and I already wasted my "oh my god enough with the remakes" griping on the Hellraiser thread, but-- come on! Really? What's the point at all in remaking this? Who's actually going to benefit from it? If this does get a remake, I have a strong feeling that it'll hit theaters and then kind of dissipate like a fart in the wind as everybody goes back to the original, which frankly only has any value in a theater populated by audience members and employees who don't care if you shout inappropriate things to the characters in the film at opportune times.

Have we learned nothing from Repo: The Genetic Opera?
