Please, for the love of God - NO!

A remake of the cult hit movie Rocky Horror Picture Show is being developed by Fox 2000, with Glee creator Ryan Murphy one possibility to direct, according to Deadline Hollywood. Glee is running a Rocky Horror episode in which the cast performs the well-known Time Warp number next week.

Rocky Horror, which was originally released in 1975, is still playing in midnight shows in some locales, and has a devoted fan following. It also was a merchandise driver, with a range of products appealing to those for whom the film�s edgy take on Frankenstein was a badge of hipness.

This is one remake that definitely DOESN'T need to occur. The movie was a box office bust, and only started making money after the Waverly Theatre in New York City started doing a midnight showing.

Any remake will either a) take itself too seriously or b) try to take the "cool factor" over the top. Either way the new version will be shite.
