For those of you still reading, I know its nigh on universally hated but without that song i might not well be here typing this and having all the fun i do with rocky horror. It gave me the link from hearing it at disco and parties to check out the original song and started my love of the film.
Perhaps the same thing will happen here. It will bring a whole new crowd to check out the orininal versions!
So lets give a bit of a chance. all the best things evolve through the years and we will always have the original to fall back on.

Message: Hoopla. I spotted a brief article on the American IMDB site, under NEWS ARTICLES. (Please don't sue me for copywrite or something, I'm just spreading the word to my friends! And other sites can take note and link to that article if they want now!) Besides what has been said about it being 'The RH Birthday show', Lou Adler is quoted saying that he thinks the director has come up 'with a brilliant concept and settings and images that allows us to use the same music and the same dialogue and yet we're making a different movie'. Different movie?! -silence-gulp-um, how nice! Really. Perhaps our Rocky has become so classic, like 'Romeo & Juliet,' that after so much of its original form, someone will seem it differently. I have not seen all of the movie remake 'Romeo + Juliet,' but I got the idea; modern setting with the original dialouge and story. Actually, this RHBS might be downright clever, cool, breathtakingly filmed, awesome music.....blah blah. Time will tell. Remeber: don't judge a book by it's cover! What would have been a real treat for devotees like me would be live broadcast of a RHS play, with a prime cast and all. With the ORIGINAL script would have been fine too! Didn't Ritz want something 'closer to the origianl'? And they could have socked in cameos from Ritz and gang. And interviews, and stories,and the beginning of AP, and trivial happy-Birthday-to-the-play stuff... Sigh. Let's hope this doesn't start mass cult suicides or something.....It's not easy having a good time! Even makes my face ache! Sensual Daydreams to all......Luv ya'!

Message: Jeez the 30th Anniversary tour!! Has it been five years since Jason sat on my lap in Edninburgh???!!! Scary Stuff!!! And althought I think we all were secretly praying/begging for Rocky London to blow the budget on getting Tony head back as Frank, albiet the rest of the budget for the show would have been left with about 50p, Jonathon Wilkes could be good, after all if you shared a house with Robbie Williams I think you would have a bit of the exhibitionist inside you...(No pun intended but entirely welcome.) Can't wait for the "Whats his crime?" Shoutbacks ;) .....Oh and If Rocky London are reading this: If Jonathon Wilkes has a break in the middle of the tour, How about wacking it into the West End for a Month and Letting Tony Head come back Like in 1995? I was also thinking, with what we all saw could be achived with a new production and ideas team on Broadway, (with the new set, costumes and Direction,) I hope Mr Malcom and Co have really got their thinking caps on to Delight and surpirse us with the 30th Anniversary tour...

With a handfull of die-hard rocky horror fans we have been trying to get a rocky club and cast on it's feet here in the Netherlands (cause their is nothing here!)

This is a great oportunity to get rocky going in the Netherlands. So we're looking for other dutch fans wo would be interested to take part(or if you know someone who might be interested!) You can mail me direct, or at Rockyhorror@Beeping.zzn.com

Message: Hiya guys, it's while since I've wrote anything on here. But having read some news about the new film update (on Cosmo's Factory) I just had to write. The report says, that it will be updated to modern times with Frank being a "succesful plastic surgeon who lives in a posh penthouse"
Huh? What is going on??? I'm really puzzle by this and can't believe this has even be thought about. PLEASE DON'T DO IT.
Until this happen I was fairly happy with the idea. I thought it just would be a recording of the Stage show more or else. Even the idea of change it a bit or add songs was quite interesting as along as nothing is taken out. A small changes is good, like the eating of Eddie in the film compare to stage version of events are both good in there own way.
This change alters the whole idea of Rocky. How can Rocky not parallel/spoof the 1950's Sci-fi and Horror movies? I really hope this is a joke, for all Rocky fans everywhere

Message: Hoopla, again. Sorry to hear you were sick, Dave. We need all Rocky Followers alive and well at this time, anyways! It's a time of crisis!I am so proud of everyone's general opinion on the remake! There's only One and Only! Yeah, give it a chance. We don't have a choice, do we really? I still like that animation idea.....sigh. I see at as being an updated interpretation for our times. Let's face it, Rocky Horror itsn't as 'mainstream' as FOX might like to imagine. (Get those luscious, lewd lips off the screen now! Remember that, oh FOX-studios?) Every tale has to be 'updated' to the era. And they have to make their money back. That's all that matters to them. And I doubt Ritz has much controls/rights over his Creation anymore. sigh again.... Let's just hope the general populace doesn't embrace this as the true Rocky. I think we all might go extinct or something. Keep on Time Warping dopes, you're my only hope! And Rose tint your worlds......and keep us safe from trouble and pain! GOD SAVE THE ROCKY! Poor Baby is gonna be 30! Give him the RIGHT treatment! And hope you feel better Dave!

Message: Well! the one good thing that can be said about the remake is that at least it's got people talking about something!!!
Personally I think it sounds dire. Really dire. To the extent that even Fox will (hopefully) look at the finished product and say "Sheesh! were we stoned when we came up with that one or what!". (Hey! How about Rocky done like an old silent movie!! Sorry, injoke there! )
But then again, you never know. So I'm willing to give it a go, and it will either be so bad its laughable (like a lot of my fave movies) or it will be embarrassingly saccharine and "not-really-rocky-but-very-accessible-to-normal-people" and just cringeworthy. We can only wait and see.
In the meantime, we want more guestbook rants!!! Come on guys, get bitchin!!!!

(The life story of Boy George and we do like a good tranny don't we?)There's untapped potential for dressing up there. And especially good is the actor who palys Phillip Salon who insults loads of the audience personally. It's great go and see it. It's at the Venue Leicester Place, incidentally nextdoor to The Prince Charles Cinema whre RHPS played for years. Go see it you'll like it, especially if you lived through the 80's. At least it'll keep you going until the Autumn. Let me know what you think of it!

Message: I've been a Rocky fan since I was 12 years old. My mother introduced me to it. I also do not agree with a so called "REMAKE" of The Rocky Horry Picture Show . That's just not right! Remake's are NEVER as good as the original. Like I read in a previous entry, classics should not be touched. Sadly, I have not been able to make it to a live show yet , but when I get back from overseas, I plan on going to see it. I can't wait and I'm looking forward to it.

ColumbiaTimeWarp

Message: OK, I was prepared to give this ROCKY HORROR remake the benefit of the doubt, but, in light of further information, and some very disturbing rumours, my alarm bells have started ringing.

Reports this week suggest that the new version, now titled THE ROCKY HORROR BIRTHDAY SHOW, will be set in modern times and that Frank-n-Furter will now be "a successful plastic surgeon who lives in a posh penthouse". WHAT!?
Come on, part of the long term appeal of ROCKY HORROR has been its retro feel. It's a spoof, parody, pastiche of 1950's science fiction B-movies, and Frank-n-Furter is the classic mad scientist. Updating the show, its settings, and its characters will betray all that it represents. One report even used that awful word "re-imagining" to describe the project.

There's also speculation that Richard will write at least one new song for the film. Now, as much as I love Richard's songs, and have every faith in his talent, I do not like the idea of adding new material to what is already a perfectly structured musical. THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is the greatest musical of all time. It's the only show which has no weak numbers (not one), they are all classics. It is perfect. PLEASE DON'T TAMPER WITH IT.

Furthermore, a survey on the website Cosmo's Factory asks fan opinion about certain possibilities, including: How would you feel if "Toucha touch me" was deleted; or there were no bedroom/sex scenes? What if it was set in modern times? What if it was set in another place, other than Denton U.S.A.? What if there were no "Superheroes" or "Once In A While"? I can't believe I'm reading such questions. This is a nightmare.

Deleting "Toucha touch me" (a defining moment for Janet's character) or the bedroom scenes would merely be a ploy to make it suitable for family-orientated (PG 13) American television censors/audiences. Again, this would destroy all that ROCKY stands for. Setting it in modern times shouldn't be an option, as the beauty of ROCKY is that it is timeless (it's the only 70's musical which hasn't dated over the years). As for setting it somewhere other than Denton; what would be the point of that? Would anyone dream of setting a production of HAMLET (the second greatest piece of theatre ever conceived) somewhere other than Denmark?
The thought of them removing "Superheroes" or "Once In A While" makes me feel physically sick. I'm sure that Richard O'Brien has even cited "Superheroes" as his favourite ROCKY song (while "Once In A While" is one of mine) so why take it out?

An even more disturbing aspect of this survey is that the results so far seem to indicate that the fans do not seem too bothered about these possibilites. Come on, this project has disaster written all over it. We're talking about celebrating ROCKY's 30th birthday. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. In fact, better still, DON'T BOTHER.

Message: The first thing I thought when some one mailed me with the Rocky remake news - as if! I really don't believe this is going to happen! Not to say I don't have faith in the whole Rocky phenomenon but I just don't think it'd work at all. How on earth can you improve on some thing like RHPS which is already set in stone? I certainly wouldn't want to watch it. Especially if they put Sarah Michelle Geller in it (sorry Sarah fans I just think she's a bit over-used at the moment!). Besides I think there'd be enough negativity to stop the project ever reaching fruition... but that's only *my* opinion.

Sorry about my last message. I stand by what I said, but, the way I said it was possibly influenced by the migraine pills I had been taking that day... hehe. Oops, guess I won't be getting an invite to any potential RHPS remake party now, lol.
yay stuff. woohoo.

Message: I have to admit that I am completely in two minds about this whole ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW remake thing. Personally, I feel an out and out remake of the movie version would be pointless. The film is a classic for a reason, and classics cannot really be improved upon (most remakes of genuinely classic movies turn out to be self-indulgent messes).
However, I am not sure that "remake" is the right word here, and I think that the announcement from Sal may be a little bit misleading. I read recently, in CRAZED IMAGINATIONS (an American ROCKY fanzine), that Richard had dropped a major bombshell, while appearing at the Fab Cafe in Manchester last October. He revealed that 20th Century Fox were planning a TV movie of ROCKY HORROR, with an $8,000,000 budget, based more on the original stage show script rather than the PICTURE SHOW screenplay.
He also said that he'd personally like to see an animated version one day (now, that's a cool idea).
I think we need more information here before we pass judgement. Yeah, a straight-forward remake of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW would be a bad move; but a TV movie based on THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, or (even better) a televised broadcast of an actual live ROCKY show would be a great 30th anniversary tribute to this beloved classic.

TW: Stephanie mentioned this over a year ago in the TimeWarp newsletter, there is a rights issue as to why they cannot televise the show. Cath Buckland's view on the whole issue below is quite interesting too!
