Rocky Horror Picture Show is a super successful movie (grossed $100 million+, considered longest running theatrical release in film history).  Glee has Haters-gonna-hate-scooterocky Horror.  (In retrospect, the huge jugs thing may not have been related, but still, important info.)

Glee creator Ryan Murphy just finished an episode of his hit show that is devoted to the camp classic The Rocky Horror Picture  Show. By the time it airs October 26, Murphy might be in a deal to direct the feature film remake. I’m told that he’s being courted by Fox 2000 to direct a remake of the 1975 musical.  Murphy hasn’t committed, but he has met. [Deadline]

Whether this gets made or not (and I’m betting on not), I’m just going to stand far, far away and act like it’s not happening.  Nothing against Glee, whose creators seem like good people, it’s just not my cup of tea.  Like, really, reeeally not my cup of tea.  I realize I might be the weird one for despising virtually all musicals, but it is my firm position that people should only sing when drunk.

UGH, NOT THE TIME WARP AGAIN

Written by Vince Mancini / 07.24.08

I can’t stand musicals so unless I was trying to bang a drama club chick I never gave too much of a crap about the Rocky Horror Picture Show. But fruity theater queers are probably going to be really pissed because MTV is doing a remake. 

Two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien but may also include music not featured in the original. [Variety]

Not much else is known about the remake and it doesn’t have a director or release date set yet, but I imagine the central aim of the producers will be to make the original more "Fergilicious".  In other news, Zac Efron tried out for the role of transvestite but was rejected as too feminine.
