Everything You Need to Know About Fox's Rocky Horror Picture Show Reboot

The original Rocky Horror Picture Show boasted an incredible cast with the likes of Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry, and even Meat Loaf, so the reboot had some stiff competition on its hands. Luckily the TV version scored some absolute standouts, including Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, Victoria Justice as Janet Weiss, Christina Milian as Magenta, Adam Lambert as Eddie, and Ryan McCartan as Brad Majors. Curry is also going to make a special appearance as The Criminologist, who serves as the story's narrator.

A select group of San Diego Comic-Con attendees got a special surprise on Thursday when they were treated to a screening of the first 25 minutes of the TV movie, which revealed a number of differences from the original, along with the performances of "Time Warp" and "Sweet Transvestite." According to Entertainment Weekly, the adaptation has a bit of a meta opening. It kicks off at a movie theater, which has an audience watching and interacting with a showing of the movie just like the IRL midnight screenings that happen each year, like yelling at the screen, and putting newspapers over their heads when Janet sings "There's a Light (Over at the Frankenstein Place)." A female usher performs "Science Fiction/Double Feature," and a rollicking version of "Time Warp" is led by Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia. The cherry on top of it all? Cox makes her big entrance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter by descending onto the stage on a massive crane while belting out "Sweet Transvestite."

The first trailer shows off the star-studded cast, and will likely assure fans of the first one that the remake is in good hands.

The extended look at the reboot shows off some scenes from "Time Warp," and offers a chance to see how the audience participation might come across onscreen. Also, Cox totally slays, as per usual.

You'll finally be able to see all the campy action go down when it premieres on Thursday, Oct. 20.
