Title: Fox's Rocky Horror Remake
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on January 05, 2016, 09:46:21 PM
I still question them casting a woman as Frank-N-Furter. The whole fun of the part is that Frank is a transvestite. But who knows - things may work out beautifully with the casting of Laverne Cox. But the Penny Dreadful-related part of this news is a welcome surprise:

I'm questioning the need for this remake.  The original is a classic for most of us of "a certain age," and I think for many younger people who were born years after the 1975 film.  Also, we have the recent BBC live version of the stage show, which I thought was great!  This remake is going to have some pretty big teddies to fill...

Dr Frank looks like a bondage version of Eartha Kitt's Catwoman after she had been given collagen implants by Mr Freeze.

Riff Raff looks like the love child of Cruella de Vil and Dorian Gray.

Well, for those in search of something new... this is it I guess.
