MTV Does the Time Warp to 'Rocky' Remake

After a long delay, it looks like MTV will be remaking the classic 75 cult pic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which will feature new music with the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien sticking intact. There was no announcement on cast or a director at the moment, but expect some movement soon (in the form of the Time Warp, I assume). Timetable for the start of production hasn't been established yet but the partners aim to move forward quickly once the final elements are in place. "I'd like to see it shown a year from this coming Halloween, but that's up to MTV," Adler said. The original "Rocky Horror," starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf, has grossed $140 million in domestic box office over the years.
