“The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s original writer, composer, singer and beloved Riff Raff is casting a monstrous scowl on the new remake from MTV. ‘I have no view on whether it should be remade, but it doesn’t have my blessing,’ Richard O’Brien told the BBC News. I’m shocked they didn’t even consider asking him. I hope the ground opens up and swallows the entire new ‘cast with their first ‘jump to the left.’ Click through to find out what else O’Brien had to say about the defiling of this cult clbumic.
‘I’ve even heard that they’re going to put new songs in,’ O’Brien told the press. ‘I wrote the book, the music and the lyrics. Where are they going to get the songs from? Who’s going to do that? That’s a bit strange isn’t it?’ Yes, yes it is. Executive producer Lou Adler better get over and make nice with the Rocky Horror man himself or he’s going to have a lot of picketing fans in their skivvies outside MTV.
Second, I’d like to meet the musician who thinks they can write better music that ‘Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me,’ and ‘Time Warp,’ to name just a few of the clbumics in Rocky.”
Other remakes in the works: The Warriors, Footloose, Dune, Citizen Kane and Total recall.
“The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.”
