Hot off the presses from the official Rocky mailing list -

"Dear ROCKY HORROR fans and friends...

The RHPS Fan Club has a big scoop for all its devoted followers.

In Celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the birth of "Rocky"
(when Richard was writing the original play)...Lou Adler and Twentieth Century Fox will shortly announce a huge broadcast television event for February 2003.... A remake of the Rocky Horror Picture show with an all-new celebrity cast.

What makes this more exciting is that the director of this project will be Stephen Elliot who directed the much beloved "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" and the cult classic "Welcome to Woop-Woop"".

Casting will be going underway soon and we will keep you informed of all updates.

Keep Time Warping...

Sal Piro"

"broadcast television event... with an all-new celebrity cast."

Didn't VH1 sort of do this for the movie's 25th?

Hopefully they will have Tony Head as Frank.

We saw him do it in London in 95.

Hmmmm...I'm not so sure that this would actually be a good idea. I mean it's not possible for them to recreate the original wacky magic that made the RHPS so good. And if they do try, i worry that they'll try to ham it up, where what's needed is a completely sincere and serious delivery. the humour comes from the sheer absurdity of the situation, not the hamminess of the cast. I mean who else could do Frankie better than Tim Curry can?
