Should Rocky Horror Be Rebooted?

Shannon Vestal — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 11:30:04 PDT

No, let's really do the Time Warp again: Just a week before Glee reveals its own tribute to The Rocky Horror Picture Show (see pictures here and here), creator Ryan Murphy has been offered the chance to direct the big screen reboot.

It's not huge news that someone in Hollywood wants to put a modern spin on the '70s camp classic, but it sounds like it's really taking shape if a director is being hired. As for whether Murphy can handle it, well, I'll have to wait until the Glee episode airs to make my final decision. Beyond that, are you excited that the iconic musical is being rebooted, or are you so devoted to the original that the news just bums you out?

Let's do the time warp again! Glee's highly anticipated tribute episode to The Rocky Horror Picture Show is just around the corner, and if these early photos are any indication, it's going to be nothing short of epic. You have Finn as Brad, Kurt as Riff Raff, and Dr. Carl (John Stamos) as . . . Meat Loaf's Eddie? The big question is, who will play Frank-N-Furter? These photos are just a taste of what's to come on Oct. 26, but for now, click through for a preview of the campy fun!

FABTV: The Time Warp!

Don't tell me you've never done the Time Warp. When were you first introduced to The Rocky Horror Picture Show? I may have been too young - 15? - but it was so much fun. Needless to say, my friends and I were all over it, and snuck out to catch the famous midnight showing. (Mom, are you reading this?) I had two giant hickeys on my neck as a result. No, not from necking - they said it was a ritual that had to be done to all RHPS virgins. I gave in. It was so much fun.

P.S. A remake is in the works! Not sure how I feel about that, but I kinda can't wait to see.

It may be "just a jump to your left/ Then a step to your right," but I can't help but think that this might be a giant step to the back. That's right, news surfaced today that a The Rocky Horror Picture Show remake is in the works. The MTV network is partnering with Lou Adler, who produced the 1975 film, for a remake that will feature the original screenplay of Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien, with the possibility of a new song or two.

As someone who is a big fan of the original film and the stage production (yes, I saw Luke Perry as Brad!) this news makes me a little sad, especially as it's coming from the network that brought us Carmen: A Hip Hopera. Regardless, the original is such a cult classic, and Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and Meatloaf are so iconic in their respective roles. Seriously, who else but Tim Curry could sing "Sweet Transvestite?" Alan Cumming perhaps? How do you feel about this news? Are you ready to do the time warp again?

5 Entertaining and Romantic Movie Dates

Anna Monette Roberts — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:50:00 PST

In honor of this year's Sundance Film Festival that just began yesterday, it's time to explore different movie date night options for you and your honey to warm up to this Winter. Beyond your average movie complex, there is a whole world of independent theaters and festivals to explore and attend to have a romantic and memorable date experience. Here are a few ideas to reinvigorate the ol' movie night standard.

Technicolor features: Films in technicolor have intensely vivid and dreamy hues. Usually independent and historical theaters will screen special technicolor features, and it's a unique and rare opportunity to see such amazing colors and classic films like Gone With the Wind on the big screen. Even if the film you see isn't a classic, it's still nice to curl up close and enjoy the romantic, sleepy quality of technicolor.
Historical theaters: Check to see if your town has at least one historical theater with a classic, blinking marquee and intricate interior architecture. Research the history behind the building before you go so you and your date can appreciate the theater's story and architectural details upon your visit.
Cult midnight movies: There is an entire culture that follows midnight screenings of B-rated films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The especially diehard will dress up, act out scenes, and sing along. Attending a midnight movie like Rocky can be a ridiculous yet fun way to bond and break any inhibitions.
Film festivals: Independent, horror, documentary, shorts, underground, and international are just a few of the dozens of film festivals that take place in North America. It's cold and dark during the Winter, so you might as well use the time to expand your film repertoire and have a dozen new stories and concepts to discuss with your date afterward.
Drive-ins: If you live in an area with a milder climate, you could drive out of town to go to a drive-in theater. The tickets are cheaper, you're in the comfort of your car, and you can bring your own food. Most importantly, depending on your parking spot, you might have enough privacy to engage in some high-school-esque backseat action.
