!!!This is not a banner!!!




We are here to gather up enough people to stop MTV from remaking the all time classic: The Rocky Horror Picture Show!


The only problem is, I have no idea how many people we need to do that o.0



These are our reason as to why it should be stopped!!!!!!

~No one else can play Dr. Frank-N-Furter, that is totally a Tim Curry part! it's not cool!
~Meatloaf won't be playing Eddie again, which will totally ruin the dinner sence! Not to mention the Audience Participation!
~Susan Sarandon is too old to play Janet again, and who else could sing touch me like that?!
~And can you even imagnie someone other than Barry Bostwick singing Damnit Janet??
~They need to leave the classics as just that, classics. Nothing is better then the original!!!
~ Who but the original Riffraff Can say "Hello?" In that way that generations will always remember?
~Only lil' Nell can scream like that for Eddie!
Feel free to add more! ^^


Here is so more info on the remake, they're trying to make it sound better :/

MTV is doing the time warp on a remake of 1975 cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Lou Adler, exec producer of the original film, is partnering with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios on the new rendition.

Two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.

Helmer and casting decisions have yet to be announced.

Fox is sin discussions with BSkyB and Sky Movies to co-finance and distribute the telepic abroad.

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.

BermanBraun principal Gail Berman will exec produce the project along with partner Lloyd Braun. Berman has been attached to a "Rocky Horror" remake dating back to her tenure as Fox programming chief (Daily Variety, July 1, 2002).

The original "Rocky Horror," starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf, has grossed $140 million in domestic box office over the years, primarily from the wallets of youthful audience members who have shown up for midnight screenings over the past three decades.

2008-11-19 [Silver Moon]: holly crap they want to remake it?! they can't there is no way a remake can be as good as the first. I will add my name if you allow it?

2008-11-20 [†Sweets†]: Anyone can join hun :) Tell you're friends and wiki's that you're in, ok? ok. :D

2008-11-20 [Silver Moon]: ok

2008-11-20 [†Sweets†]: She hasn't actually made it this far yet, I added her and told she was joining, but she doesn't quit understand what it is :)

2008-11-20 [Silver Moon]: oh ok lol

2008-11-20 [†Sweets†]: Would you like to help her to get to know it a little more?

2008-11-20 [Silver Moon]: ET or this wiki?

2008-11-20 [†Sweets†]: et in general

2008-11-20 [Silver Moon]: ok send me her screen name and I will give her pointers

2008-11-20 [†Sweets†]: kk ^^

2008-11-20 [Silver Moon]: ^-^

2008-11-22 [†Sweets†]: Silver, you're a liar. Twilight sucked.

2008-11-23 [Jenny Crank]: It was pretty ghetto.

2008-11-23 [Tragedy In Trend]: I didn't think it was that bad...

2008-11-23 [Silver Moon]: I liked it so I am not lying

2008-11-23 [Tragedy In Trend]: Yeah see it was okay but it wasn't as great as the book

2008-11-23 [Silver Moon]: I still haven't had a chance to read the books so I will be able to judge that when I have a chance to read them

2008-11-23 [Tragedy In Trend]: Well they're amazing no matter what. Stephenie Meyer is a great writer, she's amazing. But in the movie they didn't mention a couple people's names or base them on description too much but...well yeah. It matched the book pretty well, comparing it to Harry Potter that is.

They could have done a lot worse.

2008-11-23 [Razshemi Szundrea]: Forgive me, but I have a comment to make. The woman writes like a twelve year old fan fiction writer. She's hardly amazing. I read one page and threw the book across the room. Come now. It was clearly made by those who know nothing outside of such things as pre-teen little girls write. It's infuriating.

2008-11-23 [Silver Moon]: One page isn't a good judgment for a book, if a book starts out slow it may get better

2008-11-23 [de Morte]: As I said in another wiki, it's Meyer's wet dream.

2008-11-23 [PnkShpGnWld]: The twilight movie was no where near as good as the books. It was too fast-paced and definitley did not match the books sequence enough.

2008-11-23 [Razshemi Szundrea]: Yes, the girl dreams for the usual cliche. The whole book is so. Vampire falls in love with girl. Is over protective of girl. Big fight. And then the end everyone's a hero. -laughs- It is dreadful. Let me rephrase, I skimmed as much as I could over that series. Pathetic, and don't become angry by my words or anything but I felt to express my views. It's merely my opinion.

2008-11-24 [†Sweets†]: you can't judge Twilight until Bella gets ran over by the van (which they did wrong in the movie!!)

2008-11-24 [Silver Moon]: don't tell me about it.I still need to read the books!

2008-11-24 [de Morte]: I read three of them-mostly out of boredom, and still was highly disappointed!

2008-11-24 [Ace118]: hi guys I bin Ill :( hope you all ok

2008-11-24 [Silver Moon]: are you ok?

2008-11-24 [Ace118]: no still ill :( *sniff, SNIFF*

2008-11-24 [Silver Moon]: *hands you soup* I am sorry and close to the holidays!

2008-11-25 [†Sweets†]: Jenny :( you can't be sick :(

2008-11-25 [PnkShpGnWld]: I read all four of them. The books were slightly impressive. But beings i know, obviousy, more than Stephanie Meyer, the book is, as Rashemi said, Overly cliche and too played-out.

2008-11-27 [Ace118]: I am :( unforunatly :( Ahtchooo!! *sniff, blow, sniff*

2008-11-28 [†Sweets†]: (get more memebers!)

2009-02-18 [SaNiTY™]: Add me to the list~ I agree, they should keep the classics, but.. If this is actually going to be made, I'll probably go see it just for comparison. It's just how I am.

2009-02-18 [†Sweets†]: Same here... I had to go see twilight simple so I could yell at it and know exactly what I was against...

2009-02-19 [Ace118]: Janet's pantner is still alive he may have something to say he been in recent cold case

2009-02-19 [Jenny Crank]: well..idk..but I freakin loved Columbia..she was adorably sweet thrown in with the other strange people..

2009-02-19 [†Sweets†]: Jenny! You came!!

2009-02-20 [Jenny Crank]: yea

2009-02-20 [†Sweets†]: I'm so glad ^^

2009-02-21 [de Morte]: twilight haters

2009-02-21 [†Sweets†]: ...is that book hate or movie hate?

2009-02-21 [Jenny Crank]: seems generalized..

2009-02-21 [†Sweets†]: oh... then I can't go... I like the book...

2009-02-21 [de Morte]: its everything about it hate... they aren't even Vampires!

2009-02-22 [†Sweets†]: well, that ain't even cool... I hated the movie... but I really like all four books...

2009-02-22 [Yami]: you can still go if you hate the movie only, we have people there that are like that, alot of them hate the movie and the propaganda that it's causing.

2009-02-23 [†Sweets†]: ah ok ^^

2009-02-26 [Jenny Crank]: this place changed topics real fast.

2009-02-26 [†Sweets†]: you noticed that too?

2009-02-26 [Jenny Crank]: I dont see this working.

2009-02-27 [Yami]: sorry about that, I thought I would add my inmput since the wiki in question is mine.

2009-02-27 [†Sweets†]: Thanks for your support jenny... -_-

2009-02-27 [Jenny Crank]: I'm a realist.

2009-02-27 [†Sweets†]: I know

2009-03-01 [Yami]: So has anyone heard anything different on the remake of this movie? I mean has anyone looked it up on imbd or wikipedia?

2009-03-01 [Yami]: Here you guys go ^_^ Directly from Wikipedia.org
Interest for other movies by both hardcore fans as well as the more mainstream audience has been around for some time. In 1981, Fox released Shock Treatment, the follow up film by the same artistic group. It was never in general release, but premiered straight to the midnight circuit. This standalone feature was not a direct sequel to the original film. It told the continuing story of Brad (Cliff DeYoung) and Janet (Jessica Harper) following their marriage. Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Charles Gray and Nell Campbell from Rocky Horror appeared in this film, playing different characters. Only Jeremy Newson appears in the sequel as the same character, Ralph Hapschatt. The original script was titled "Rocky Horror Shows His Heels" and began as a direct sequel until the idea was changed because of the unavailability of some of the original cast. The story was changed as well as the title, becoming first "The Brad and Janet Show" and finally "Shock Treatment".
Another script was written by the original author, Richard O'Brien, some years later, intended as a direct sequel. Entitled Revenge of the Old Queen, it was never made, and O'Brien himself has been quoted as saying that it never will be.
MTV Films and Sky Movies are planning to remake The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The network is planning a 2-hour-long remake to be based on the original screenplay, and featuring songs not included in the original. The film is anticipated to be released sometime around Halloween 2009. The creator of the original, Richard O'Brien, will not be involved; he has said that while he has no view on whether it should be remade, it does not have his blessing.
In July 2008, a website was created at www.stoptheremake.com to let people voice their outrage over the remake. It didn't take long for the site to go viral and in 8 months had received nearly 25,000 signatures, over 200 protest photos, dozens of YouTube videos and even the support of celebrities such as Wil Wheaton and Adrienne Curry.

2009-03-01 [†Sweets†]: imbd hasn't posted anything of interest...

2009-03-01 [Tragedy In Trend]: People are saying that they aren't going to do it anymore, I'm not sure if that's true or not but still a thought on it.

I think it would be way too much of a tragedy to redo it and my mom thinks it would just be terrible - she never liked it too much anyways.
But still, tragic.

2009-03-01 [†Sweets†]: ...that seems to be true... look it up at mtv

2009-03-03 [Jenny Crank]: Well..Now I want to do a remake..with modified people..casting is not too hard..Michael can be Frank,Shy can be Brad,Raze can be Rocky..James can be Riff..yep I've got it..

2009-03-03 [†Sweets†]: ...if raze is rocky can I be janet?

2009-03-03 [Neferoth, the lethargic stigmata]: I call being 'Grandma'!

2009-03-03 [†Sweets†]: lol

2009-03-04 [Jenny Crank]: I'm still unsure of female casting..but Tim will be eddie.

2009-03-04 [†Sweets†]: I like your male casting... they all work out well...

2009-03-04 [Jenny Crank]: yea..and I think I will be columbia..

2009-03-04 [†Sweets†]: I'm not really sure I really want to be Janet if Shy is playing Brad... but with Raze as Rocky, it's a really good idea to me...

2009-03-05 [Jenny Crank]: hmm..how about raze as frank, michael as rocky? he is big and lean..

2009-03-05 [†Sweets†]: No! Raze isn't...crazy enough...

2009-03-05 [†Sweets†]: Raze should play Meatloaf! Eddie, I mean...

2009-03-05 [Jenny Crank]: No..he doesnt fit that part at all..he is crazy lol..you just havent seen it yet..Tim will make a good Eddie.

2009-03-05 [†Sweets†]: Well, Raze isn't scrawny enough either...

2009-03-06 [Jenny Crank]: eddie was big..

2009-03-07 [Ace118]: Meat loaf when he played Eddie could not ride a motor cycle found that out. The dicector doses a voice for walt disney

2009-03-07 [†Sweets†]: lol that's awesome... and I meant raze isn't small enough to be frank

2009-03-07 [Ace118]: Raze?

2009-03-08 [†Sweets†]: A friend of mine and Jen's

2009-03-08 [Ace118]: ah cool

2009-03-09 [Jenny Crank]: Yea..way too small..

2009-03-09 [†Sweets†]: See?

2009-03-10 [Jenny Crank]: yea..

2009-03-11 [†Sweets†]: :) I win

2009-03-13 [Jenny Crank]: I win..I casted well..

2009-03-14 [†Sweets†]: ture...

2009-04-18 [Tragedy In Trend]: *irritated*
I told Jessa about this already, but look =/

http://www.buzzsugar.com/3040148

Again, is SOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed!

NON MUSICAL FORM!!! Gah!

2009-04-18 [†Sweets†]: ... you did? o.0

2009-04-18 [Ace118]: Grr

2009-04-23 [Jenny Crank]: oh well..its art people..its someones vision..don't knock it..just enjoy the original..

2009-06-07 [Ansem]: From what I gather, the only reason you have for not remaking this movie is "they can't replace the actors." Not a strong argument. In my opinion they could have given about 5 12 year old kids around $50 and a watershed and could make a better version of that old low-budget B movie..

2009-06-07 [Ace118]: GRR I love RHPS it is awsume

2009-06-07 [†Sweets†]: I think they should let Jenny make it. She has the perfect cast.

2009-06-07 [Ace118]: which Jenny?

2009-06-07 [Ace118]: But NO!!!!!! Tim CURRY is irreplacible.

Eddy is I admit

2009-06-08 [†Sweets†]: [Jenny Crank]

She would make it great...

2009-06-08 [PnkShpGnWld]: Hear hear. Her ideas have sounded slightly interesting so far.

2009-06-08 [†Sweets†]: Well, these are some of the guys she's already mentioned:
[Razed in Black] [Japalm] [Scorpi0] [Trepanation]

2009-06-08 [Ace118]: I think [Razed in Blzck] would be the best of the four Got the looks and hair We should do a poll on it if she does not mind. With RHPS lovers here it would be epic

2009-06-08 [†Sweets†]: Well, she hasn't been on in a while, but when she does we can ask, I'm sure she would mind, though I don't know how Raze would take it.

2009-06-08 [Ace118]: its a group decision if he not happy then its ok. Choose some one else. I was only saying to me he looks like he would be a good Tim

2009-06-08 [†Sweets†]: I doubt he would actually mind, but, next time I talk to Jen I'll have her ask.

2009-06-08 [Ace118]: Cool.

2009-06-09 [†Sweets†]: What exactly is your idea though?

2009-06-09 [PnkShpGnWld]: As long as who doesn't mind? And yes, Please explain your Ideas.

2009-06-09 [†Sweets†]: As long as no one in poll minds, I'm cool with it. But I maintain that if Raze plays the creature, I'm playing Janet!

2009-06-10 [Ace118]: Janet has BLONDE hair. but ok

Well that we some how make a really good remake sooo good that MTV will want us :)*stroking chin*

2009-06-10 [Ace118]: Raze at the mo is TIm curry the one on the chair

2009-06-10 [†Sweets†]: ...he's on a bed in that first picture...<img:44166_1164144921.gif>

And I can SO die my hair!!

2009-06-10 [Ace118]: wops in the film its a chair .Awsome you would make a good janet

2009-06-10 [†Sweets†]: I'm not sure how he would feel about cross dressing, that's more of Scorpio's MO, but we can see :)

2009-06-10 [Ace118]: yes we shall its for fun and any one on msn

2009-06-10 [†Sweets†]: me. and yahoo

2009-06-10 [Ace118]: k just thinking might be easier over msn thats all up to you though

2009-06-10 [†Sweets†]: pm me

2009-06-11 [Jenny Crank]: Raze wouldnt mind doing that at all,he loves acting,

2009-06-11 [Ace118]: Cool he looks like he would make a good Tim. Jen do you have any other surgestions. Magenta, Brad, Riff Raff

2009-06-13 [†Sweets†]: (James would make a good riff raff)

2009-06-15 [Ace118]: [Scorpi0] would make a good rif raff as well. Absolutly no African americans (I am not racist but it would be wrong in my heart) He could be a party guest though doing the time warp. [Trepanation] As Eddie posibly

2009-06-16 [hanhepi]: it might maybe be an ok remake if they higher actors wh have played in a shadow cast, but even then, it just wouldn't be the same.

and i'm pretty sure there were blacks in the origional (some of the "rich weirdos" at the party.)

2009-06-16 [†Sweets†]: well, to update you, they've canceled the remake, and me and Ace are talking about my friend jenny doing one with a bunch of friends of ours

2009-06-16 [hanhepi]: oh! well, atleast the remake is cancled!

2009-06-16 [†Sweets†]: yep, so, we're planning out the cast for a fan made version :D

2009-06-16 [hanhepi]: are you going to do it as a shadow cast?

2009-06-16 [Ace118]: Hi there

2009-06-17 [†Sweets†]: I'm not sure

2009-06-18 [Jenny Crank]: Raziel says he will do some funding too..

2009-06-18 [†Sweets†]: ...I thought this was going to be a low budget kinda thing...

2009-06-18 [Ace118]: you need some money for low budget flims

2009-06-18 [†Sweets†]: ...not commenting on that one.

2009-06-19 [Ace118]: lol.

2009-06-20 [†Sweets†]: no, really.

2009-06-20 [Ace118]: I know Ijust could not think of anything

2009-06-20 [†Sweets†]: ok then

2009-06-21 [Ace118]: Yes well any way I hope that this is awsome

2009-06-22 [Jenny Crank]: Raziel doesnt even want any creative control.

2009-06-23 [†Sweets†]: That I wasn't expecting... but can see him saying

2009-06-23 [Ace118]: JEn what do you mean? Will he dress up??

2009-06-23 [†Sweets†]: yeah, he will Jen... he will...
She meant that he doesn't want to take over the production

2009-06-23 [Ace118]: oh ok

2009-06-23 [†Sweets†]: and btw jenny crank's name is jesse

2009-06-23 [Ace118]: asome

2009-06-25 [Jenny Crank]: I dont doubt your intelligence.

2009-06-25 [†Sweets†]: I know. I do sometimes though.

2009-06-25 [Jenny Crank]: I overestimate more often than underestimating.

2009-06-25 [†Sweets†]: oh

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: My crew rolls tight though.

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: that's true.
until god fails in her duties.

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: God never fails.

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: She forgot.

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: nah.

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: right. I love you.

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: I think everything is going to be alright.

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: I have to agree...

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: Things seem good anyway.

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: Right. I'm pretty sure things will work out.

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: I have endless backup plans for you.

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: OOO, good :D

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: Gotta be prepared.

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: True.

2009-06-29 [Jenny Crank]: What?

2009-06-29 [†Sweets†]: A whole bunch of my family went down to Texas for two weeks, and I could have gone with, if someone had told me before yesterday when they got back!
