The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 musical comedy horror flick past 20th Century Fox, produced past Lou Adler and Michael White and directed by Jim Sharman. The screenplay was written by Sharman and player Richard O'Brien, who is also a member of the cast. The motion-picture show is based on the 1973 musical stage production The Rocky Horror Show, with music, volume, and lyrics by O'Brien. The product is a parody tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through to the early 1960s. Forth with O'Brien, the flick stars Tim Back-scratch, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick and is narrated by Charles Gray with cast members from the original Royal Court Theatre, Roxy Theatre, and Belasco Theatre productions including Nell Campbell and Patricia Quinn.

The story centres on a young engaged couple whose car breaks down in the pelting most a castle where they seek a telephone to phone call for help. The castle or country home is occupied by strangers in elaborate costumes jubilant an annual convention. They find the caput of the house is Dr. Frank N. Furter, an manifestly mad scientist who actually is an alien transvestite from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, who creates a living muscle human named Rocky in his laboratory.

The film was shot in the United Kingdom at Bray Studios and on location at an old country manor named Oakley Courtroom, all-time known for its before use by Hammer Film Productions. A number of props and set pieces were reused from the Hammer horror films. Although the motion-picture show is both a parody of and tribute to many kitsch scientific discipline fiction and horror films, costume designer Sue Blane conducted no inquiry for her designs. Blane has claimed that her creations for the motion-picture show directly affected the development of punk rock fashion trends such as torn fishnet stockings and colorfully-dyed hair.[6]

Initial reception was extremely negative, merely it presently became a hit as a midnight movie when audiences began participating with the movie at the Waverly Theater in New York City in 1976. Audience members returned to the cinemas ofttimes and talked dorsum to the screen and began dressing every bit the characters, spawning similar performance groups beyond the United States. At almost the aforementioned fourth dimension, fans in costume at the King's Court Theater in Pittsburgh began performing alongside the film. This "shadow bandage" mimed the deportment on screen above and behind them, while lip-syncing their character's lines.

Still in express release in 2022, some 46 years after its premiere, it is the longest-running theatrical release in movie history. In many cities alive amateur shadow-casts act out the motion-picture show equally information technology is being shown and heavily draw upon a tradition of audience participation.[vii] The pic is most often shown close to Halloween. Today, the film has a large international cult post-obit and has been considered past many equally one of the greatest musical films of all time. In 2005, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Motion picture Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Plot [edit]

The film starts with the opening credits for the main cast ("Scientific discipline Fiction, Double Characteristic"). So, a criminologist narrates the tale of the newly engaged Brad Majors and Janet Weiss ("Dammit Janet"), who find themselves lost and with a apartment tire on a cold and rainy late November in 1974. Seeking a telephone, the couple walks to a nearby castle ("Over at the Frankenstein Place"); there, they discover an ongoing Annual Transylvanian Convention, where they meet the Igor-like Riff Raff, his French maid sister Magenta, and a groupie named Columbia ("Time Warp"). Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a cantankerous-dressing, bisexual mad scientist, introduces himself to the couple ("Sweet Transvestite").

In his lab, Frank claims to have discovered the "secret to life itself" and brings to life his creation: a tall, muscular, handsome blond named Rocky ("The Sword of Damocles"); Frank vows he can improve Rocky into an platonic man in a week ("I Can Make You a Homo"). Delivery-boy Eddie (half of whose encephalon Frank had used in the creation of Rocky) breaks out of a deep freeze riding a motorbike, interrupting Frank, and gets the Transylvanians dancing and singing ("Hot Patootie"). When Rocky starts dancing and enjoying the performance, a jealous Frank kills Eddie with a pickaxe. Frank justifies Eddie's murder as a "mercy killing" to Rocky and they depart to the bridal suite ("I Can Make You lot a Man - Reprise").

Brad and Janet are shown to separate bedrooms, where each is visited and seduced by Frank, who poses equally Brad (when visiting Janet) and and then equally Janet (when visiting Brad). Although each of them is initially against having sexual relations with Frank, each rapidly relents. Janet, upset and emotional after having lost her virginity to Frank, wanders off to find Brad, whom she sees smoking a cigarette in bed with Frank on a video monitor. She then discovers Rocky, cowering in his birth tank, hiding from Riff Raff and Magenta, who were tormenting him. While tending to his wounds, Janet, upset that Brad slept with Frank, decides to get intimate with Rocky as Magenta and Columbia watch from their sleeping accommodation monitor ("Touch-a, Touch-a, Affect-a, Touch Me").

After discovering that Rocky is missing, Frank returns to the lab with Brad and Riff Raff, where Frank learns that an intruder has entered the building: Dr. Everett Scott, Janet and Brad'southward former science teacher. Dr. Scott now investigates UFOs for the authorities, which alarms Frank. Dr. Scott explains that he is in that location in search of his nephew Eddie. Dr. Scott assures Frank that his presence at the castle at the same time equally Brad is a coincidence unrelated to UFO work. Frank, Dr. Scott, Brad, and Riff Raff then discover Janet and Rocky together, angering Frank and Brad. At this betoken, Magenta sounds the gong to summon everyone to dinner.

Rocky and the guests share an uncomfortable dinner, which they soon realise has been prepared from Eddie's mutilated remains ("Eddie"). Janet runs screaming into Rocky's arms, provoking Frank to hunt her through the halls ("Planet Schmanet Janet"). Janet, Brad, Dr. Scott, Rocky, and Columbia all see in Frank'southward lab, where Frank captures them with the Medusa Transducer, transforming them into nude statues ("Planet Hot Dog"). After dressing them in cabaret costumes, Frank "unfreezes" them, and they perform a alive cabaret floor show, complete with an RKO tower and a swimming pool, with Frank as the leader("Rose Tint My World/Don't Dream It, Exist It/Wild and Untamed Thing").

Riff Raff and Magenta, at present with new space-cadet attire and hairdos, interrupt the operation. They inform Frank that he has failed their mission; Riff Raff declares himself commander and Frank attempts to explain himself assertive he'll be taken as a prisoner ("I'chiliad Going Home"), but Riff Raff kills both him and Columbia using a pitchfork-shaped raygun. An enraged Rocky gathers Frank's corpse in his artillery, climbs to the top of the tower impervious to Riff Raff'due south raygun beams, and plunges to his expiry in the pool below. Riff Raff and Magenta country they volition exist returning to their home planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, warning Brad, Janet and Dr. Scott to leave immediately before the castle lifts off into infinite. The injured survivors are then left itch in the smog and clay and the narrator concludes that the human race is equivalent to insects crawling on the planet's surface: "lost in time, and lost in infinite... and pregnant".

2 songs play as the picture show ends with the final credits rolling ("Super Heroes"; "Science Fiction, Double Characteristic—Reprise").

Production [edit]

Concept and development [edit]

Little Nell, Patricia Quinn, Tim Curry, and Richard O'Brien in The Rocky Horror Picture show Show. All were in the original phase show.

Richard O'Brien was living equally an unemployed player in London during the early 1970s. He wrote most of The Rocky Horror Show during one wintertime just to occupy himself.[8] [nine] Since his youth, O'Brien had loved scientific discipline fiction and B horror movies. He wanted to combine elements of the unintentional sense of humor of B horror movies, portentous dialogue of schlock-horror, Steve Reeves muscle flicks, and fifties rock and gyre into his musical.[ten] O'Brien conceived and wrote the play prepare against the backdrop of the glam era that had manifested itself in British popular civilization in the 1970s.[11] Assuasive his concept to come into being, O'Brien states "glam rock allowed me to be myself more".[12]

O'Brien showed a portion of the unfinished script to Australian director Jim Sharman, who decided to directly information technology at the small experimental space Upstairs at the Majestic Court Theatre, Sloane Square, Chelsea, London, which was used every bit a project space for new work.[8] O'Brien had appeared briefly in a phase product of Andrew Lloyd Webber'south Jesus Christ Superstar, directed by Sharman, and the 2 also worked together in Sam Shepard's The Unseen Hand. Sharman would bring in product designer Brian Thomson.[xiii] The original artistic team was so rounded out by costume designer Sue Blane, musical director Richard Hartley, and phase producer Michael White, who was brought in to produce. Equally the musical went into rehearsal, the working title, They Came from Denton High, was changed only before previews at the proffer of Sharman to The Rocky Horror Evidence.[8] [xiv]

Having premiered in the minor 60-seat Royal Court Theatre, information technology speedily moved to larger venues in London, transferring to the 230-seat Chelsea Classic Movie house on King's Road on 14 August 1973, before finding a quasi-permanent habitation at the 500-seat King's Road Theatre from 3 November that twelvemonth, running for six years.[15] The musical made its U.S. debut in Los Angeles in 1974 before playing in New York Urban center likewise as other cities.[13] Producer and Ode Records owner Lou Adler attended the London production in the winter of 1973, escorted by friend Britt Ekland. He immediately decided to purchase the U.Southward. theatrical rights. His production would exist staged at his Roxy Theatre in Fifty.A.[xvi] In 1975, The Rocky Horror Show premiered on Broadway at the 1,000-seat Belasco Theatre.[17]

Filming and locations [edit]

Set in the fictional town of Denton, the movie was shot at Bray Studios and Oakley Court, a land house near Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, and at Elstree Studios[xviii] for post-production,[19] from 21 October to 19 Dec 1974. Oakley Courtroom, congenital in 1857 in the Victorian Gothic style, is known for a number of Hammer films.[20] [21] Much of the location shooting took place there, although at the time the manor was not in good condition.[22] Much of the cast were from the original London phase product, including Tim Curry, who had decided that Dr Frank N. Furter should speak like the Queen of the United Kingdom, extravagantly posh.[12] Trick insisted on casting the ii characters of Brad and Janet with American actors, Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon.[13] Filming took identify during autumn, which made conditions worse. During filming, Sarandon fell ill with pneumonia.[10] Filming of the laboratory scene and the championship character'southward cosmos occurred on thirty October 1974.[23]

The movie is both a parody and tribute to many of the science fiction and horror movies from the 1930s up to the 1970s.[8] The film production retains many aspects from the stage version such as production design and music, simply adds new scenes not featured in the original stage play.[13] The film's plot, setting, and mode echo those of the Hammer horror films, which had their own instantly recognizable style (just as Universal Studios' horror films did).[24] The originally proposed opening sequence was to contain clips of various films mentioned in the lyrics, besides as the outset few sequences shot in blackness and white, but this was accounted as well expensive and scrapped.[13]

Costumes, make-upward, and props [edit]

In the stage productions, actors generally did their ain make-up; withal, for the film, the producers chose Pierre La Roche, who had previously been a make-upward artist for Mick Jagger and David Bowie, to redesign the make-upwardly for each character.[25] Production stills were taken by rock lensman Mick Stone, who has published a number of books from his work.[26] In Rocky Horror: From Concept to Cult, designer Sue Blane discusses the Rocky Horror costumes' influence on punk music way, opining "[It was a] big part of the build-upwards [to punk]." She states that ripped fishnet stockings, glitter, and coloured hair were direct owing to Rocky Horror.[eight]

A replica costume based on the flick'due south gold sequined eat-tail coat worn by Piddling Nell, recreated by fan Mina Credeur of Houston, Texas.

Some of the costumes from the film had been originally used in the stage production. Props and ready pieces were reused from erstwhile Hammer Horror productions and others. The tank and dummy used for Rocky's birth originally appeared in The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958). These references to earlier productions, in addition to cut costs, enhanced the cult status of the film.[27]

Costume designer Sue Blane was not not bad on working for the film until she became enlightened that Curry, an onetime friend, was committed to the project. Curry and Blane had worked together in Glasgow's Citizens Theatre in a production of The Maids, for which Curry had worn a woman's corset. Blane arranged for the theatre to loan her the corset from the other product for Rocky Horror.[28] Blane admits that she did not conduct research for her designing, had never seen a science fiction motion picture, and is acutely aware that her costumes for Brad and Janet may accept been generalizations.

When I designed Rocky, I never looked at any science fiction movies or comic books. One only automatically knows what spacesuits look like, the same manner one intuitively knows how Americans apparel. I had never been to the United States, but I had this fixed idea of how people looked at that place. Americans wore polyester so their clothes wouldn't crease, and their trousers were a chip as well short. Since they're very keen on sports, white socks and white T-shirts played an integral part in their wardrobe. Of grade, since doing Rocky I have been to the United States and admit it was a bit of a generalization, just my ideas worked perfectly for Brad and Janet.[28]

The budget for the motion-picture show was United states of america$1,600,000, far more than than the stage production budget, merely having to double up on costumes for the flick production was expensive. For filming, corsets for the finale had to be doubled for the puddle scene, with one version drying while the other was worn on set. While many of the costumes are verbal replicas from the stage productions, other costumes were new to filming, such equally Columbia's gilded sequined swallow-tail coat and top hat and Magenta's maid'due south uniform.[28]

Blane was amazed by the recreation and understanding of her designs by fans.[28] When she get-go heard that people were dressing up, she idea it would be tacky, just was surprised to meet the depth to which the fans went to recreate her designs. Rocky Horror fan Mina Credeur, who designs costumes and performed as Columbia for Houston's functioning group, states that "the best part is when everyone leaves with a big grin on their face," noting that there'due south "such a kitschiness and campiness that information technology seems to be winking at you."[29] The movie still plays at many theatre locations and Rocky Horror costumes are often fabricated for Halloween, although many require much fourth dimension and endeavor to make.[30]

Championship sequence [edit]

The film starts with the screen fading to black and oversized, disembodied female lips announced overdubbed with a male person voice,[27] [31] establishing the theme of androgyny to be repeated every bit the picture show unfolds.[32] The opening scene and song, "Science Fiction/Double Characteristic", consists of the lips of Patricia Quinn (who appears in the film later as the graphic symbol Magenta and every bit 'Trixie the Usherette' in the original London product, where she likewise sings the song) but has the vocals of actor and Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien (who appears as Magenta's brother Riff Raff). The lyrics refer to science fiction and horror films of the past and list several motion picture titles from the 1930s to the 1960s, including The 24-hour interval the Earth Stood However (1951), Flash Gordon (1936), The Invisible Man (1933), King Kong (1933), Information technology Came from Outer Space (1953), Doctor X (1932), Forbidden Planet (1956), Tarantula (1955), The Twenty-four hours of the Triffids (1962), Curse of the Demon (1957), and When Worlds Collide (1951).[8]

Billboard 200 in 1978.[33] It reached No. 12 on the Australian albums chart[34] and No. eleven on the New Zealand albums chart.[35] The album is described as the "definitive version of the [Rocky Horror] score".[36]

Reception [edit]

Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert noted that when start released, The Rocky Horror Movie Show was "ignored by pretty much everyone, including the future fanatics who would somewhen count the hundreds of times they'd seen it". He considered it more a "long-running social phenomenon" than a movie, rating information technology 2.5 out of 4 stars and describing Curry as "the best thing in the movie, peradventure because he seems to be having the most fun" but thinking the story would work amend performed on phase for a alive audience.[55] Bill Henkin noted that Variety thought that the "campy hijinks" of the film seemed labored, and likewise mentioned that the San Francisco Chronicle 'south John Wasserman, who had liked the stage play in London, found the film "lacking both charm and dramatic impact". Newsweek, in 1978, chosen the pic "tasteless, plotless and pointless".[56]

Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the motion-picture show a rating of 78% based on 45 reviews, and an average class of six.nine/10, with the critical consensus reading "The Rocky Horror Picture Show brings its quirky characters in tight, but it'due south the narrative thrust that really drives audiences insane and keeps 'em doing the time warp again".[57] A number of contemporary critics find it compelling and enjoyable considering of its offbeat and bizarre qualities; the BBC summarised: "for those willing to experiment with something a piddling scrap different, a petty bit outré, The Rocky Horror Film Show has a lot to offering."[58] The New York Times called information technology a "low-budget freak show/cult classic/cultural establishment" with "catchy" songs.[59] Geoff Andrew, of Time Out, noted that the "string of hummable songs gives it momentum, Gray's admirably straight-faced narrator holds it together, and a run on black lingerie takes care of almost everything else", rating it four out of 5 stars.[60] On the other hand, Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader considered the wit to exist "likewise weak to sustain a moving-picture show" and thought that the "songs all sound the same".[61]

In 2005, the picture was selected for preservation in the United states of america National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically pregnant".[62] [63]

Cult post-obit [edit]

Origins [edit]

Dori Hartley and Sal Piro at the Waverly Theatre in New York in 1977

The Rocky Horror Moving-picture show Show helped shape conditions of cult moving-picture show'south transition from art-house to grind-house way.[64] The motion-picture show developed a cult following in 1976 at the Waverly Theatre in New York, which developed into a standardized ritual. According to J. Hoberman, author of Midnight Movies, it was after 5 months into the picture show's midnight run when lines began to exist shouted by the audience. Louis Farese Jr., a unremarkably tranquility teacher, upon seeing the character Janet place a newspaper over her head to protect herself from rain, yelled, "Buy an umbrella, you cheap bowwow." Originally, Louis and other Rocky Horror pioneers, including Amy Lazarus, Theresa Krakauskas, and Bill O'Brian, did this to entertain each other, each week trying to come up with something new to make each other laugh. This quickly caught on with other theatre-goers and thus began this self-proclaimed "counter signal dialogue", which became standard practice and was repeated nearly verbatim at each screening.[9] Operation groups became a staple at Rocky Horror screenings due in office to the prominent New York Metropolis fan cast.[39] [ page needed ] The New York City cast was originally run past onetime schoolteacher and stand up-up comic Sal Piro and his friend Dori Hartley, the latter of whom portrayed Dr. Frank N. Furter and was ane of several performers, including Volition Kohler as Brad Majors, Nora Poses as Janet, and Lilias Piro as Magenta, in a flexible rotating cast.[65] The performances of the audience were scripted and actively discouraged improvising, being conformist in a similar way to the repressed characters.[66]

D. Garrett Gafford and Terri Hardin, Tiffany Theater Hollywood, 1978

On Halloween in 1976, people attended in costume and talked back to the screen, and by mid-1978, Rocky Horror was playing in over 50 locations on Fridays and Saturdays at midnight. Newsletters were published past local performance groups, and fans gathered for Rocky Horror conventions.[twoscore] By the cease of 1979, there were twice-weekly showings at over 230 theatres.[xl] The National Fan Club was established in 1977 and afterward merged with the International Fan Gild. The fan publication The Transylvanian printed a number of bug, and a semi-regular poster magazine was published too as an official magazine.[64]

Performance groups in the Los Angeles surface area originated at the Trick Theatre in 1977, where Michael Wolfson won a look-alike contest equally Frank N. Furter, and won another at the Tiffany Theater on Dusk Boulevard. Wolfson's group eventually performed in all of the L.A. area theatres screening Rocky Horror, including the Balboa Theater in Balboa, The Cove at Hermosa Beach, and The Sands in Glendale. He was invited to perform at the Sombrero Playhouse in Phoenix, Arizona.[ citation needed ] At the Tiffany Theatre, the audition functioning cast had the theatre'due south full cooperation; the local performers entered early and without charge. The fan playing Frank for this theatre was a transgender performer, D. Garret Gafford, who was out of piece of work in 1978 and trying to raise the funds for a gender reassignment while spending the weekends performing at the Tiffany.[39] [ folio needed ] [67] Presently, the alive activity rendition of The Rocky Horror Moving-picture show is available for omnipresence in various locations in Los Angeles, typically Sat nights at midnight.[ citation needed ]

San Francisco'due south Strand Theatre, 1979. Linda Wood, Marni Scofidio, Denise Erickson, and Jim Curry

By 1978, Rocky Horror had moved from an earlier San Francisco location to the Strand Theatre located near the Tenderloin on Market place Street.[68] The performance group there, Double Feature/Celluloid Jam, was the get-go to act out and perform nigh the unabridged motion picture, different the New York cast at that fourth dimension. The Strand cast was put together from sometime members of an early Berkeley group, disbanded due to less than enthusiastic management. Frank N. Furter was portrayed by Marni Scofidio, who, in 1979, attracted many of the older performers from Berkeley. Other members included Mishell Erickson equally Columbia, her twin sis Denise Erickson as Magenta, Kathy Dolan as Janet, and Linda "Lou" Woods equally Riff Raff. The Strand group performed at ii large science fiction conventions in Los Angeles and San Francisco, were offered a spot at The Mabuhay, a local punk order, and performed for children'south television of Argentina.[39] [ folio needed ]

Legacy [edit]

Annual Rocky Horror conventions are held in varying locations, lasting days. Tucson, Arizona has been host a number of times, including 1999 with "El Fishnet Fiesta", and "Queens of the Desert" held in 2006.[69] Vera Dika wrote that, to the fans, Rocky Horror is ritualistic and comparable to a religious event, with a compulsive, repeated cycle of going home and coming back to see the film each weekend.[9] The audition telephone call-backs are similar to responses in church during a mass.[9] Many theatre troupes exist beyond the United States that produce shadow-cast performances where the actors play each part in the film in full costume, with props, as the movie plays on the big screen in a movie theatre.[70] [71] O'Brien'southward Orchestra, formerly known equally the Queerios (based in Austin, Texas), is the longest running shadow-bandage in Texas.[72]

Members of the LGBT customs comprised a big office of the Rocky Horror cult post-obit: they identified with the embrace of sexual liberation and androgyny, and attended show after bear witness, slowly forming a customs. Judith A. Peraino compares Brad and Janet's initiation into Frank Due north. Furter's globe to the cocky-discovery of 'queer identity', and to the traditional initiation of 'virgins' in the shadow screenings.[75] June Thomas describes the midnight screenings in Delaware as a 'very queer scene,' which increased visibility for the LGBT community: "The folks continuing in line outside the Land in fishnets and makeup every Saturday night undoubtedly widened the sphere of possibilities for gender expression on Main Street."[76] [77]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show remains a cultural miracle in both the U.S. and U.K.[78] [79] Cult motion-picture show participants are frequently people on the fringe of club that discover connection and community at the screenings,[eighty] although the pic attracts fans of differing backgrounds all over the world.[81]

"Bisexuality, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Me", by Elizabeth Reba Weise, is function of the publication, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out (1991), an album edited by Loraine Hutchins and Lani Ka'ahumanu[82] [83] well-nigh the history of the modernistic bisexual rights movement that is one of the start publications of bisexual literature.[84]

Cultural influence [edit]

The Rocky Horror Moving-picture show Prove has been featured in a number of other characteristic films and telly series over the years. Episodes of The Simpsons, The Venture Bros., The Town, Glee, The Drew Carey Show, That '70s Show, Deutschland 86, and American Dad! spotlight Rocky Horror, as do films such as Vice Squad (1982), Halloween Two (2009), and The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012).[37] The 1980 picture Fame featured the audience reciting their callback lines to the screen and dancing the Fourth dimension Warp,[85] the trip the light fantastic toe from the stage show and film, which has get a novelty dance at parties.[86] Director Rob Zombie cited Rocky Horror as a major influence on his film Business firm of 1000 Corpses (2003),[87] while the film's fan culture of cosplaying and audience participation during screenings laid the background for the similarly influential cult following surrounding Tommy Wiseau's The Room (2003).[88] [89] Rocky Horror as well inspired John McPhail's zombie musical Anna and the Apocalypse (2018).[90]

Sequel [edit]

In 1979, O'Brien wrote a projected sequel to the film titled Rocky Horror Shows His Heels. This script would have featured the return of all of the characters from the original moving picture, and O'Brien wished to largely utilise the original production team to make the new film; even so, Sharman did not wish to revisit the original concept so directly, and Tim Back-scratch did not wish to reprise his office.[ citation needed ]

Instead, in 1981, Sharman reunited with O'Brien to film Shock Treatment, a stand-alone characteristic that was not a direct sequel to the original picture show.[ii] This moving picture was originally conceived and written in 1980 nether the title The Brad and Janet Show, using most of the songs from the original project Rocky Horror Shows His Heels with lyrical adjustments, and depicting the characters' continuing adventures in the town of Denton; withal, these plans had to be adjusted due to a Screen Actors Club strike. The eventual production would entail the entire pic being shot within a audio phase. Shock Treatment was poorly received by critics and audiences upon release (in no small-scale function due to the principal cast of Curry, Sarandon and Bostwick not returning) but over time has built a small cult following, though non about as strong as the offset film.[91]

Ten years later on, O'Brien wrote another script intended as a directly sequel to the cult classic, entitled Revenge of the Old Queen.[92] Producer Michael White had hoped to begin piece of work on the production and described the script as existence "in the same manner every bit the other one. It has reflections of the past in it."[93] Revenge of the Sometime Queen had apparently commenced pre-production; however, after studio head Joe Roth was ousted from Fox in 1993, the project was shelved indefinitely. Although the script has non been published, homemade copies tin be read on the net, and ane song from the project's original demo tape circulates among fans. The script is currently owned by Trick, which produced the two original films. Most individuals associated with the projection, including O'Brien, concord that the motion-picture show volition probably never be made, owing to the failure of Shock Handling and the aging of the original cast.[94]

Between 1999 and 2001, O'Brien was working on a third attempted sequel projection with the working title Rocky Horror: The Second Coming,[95] first to be made as a stage product, with an choice to create a motion-picture show if met with success. This script would largely integrate plot elements from Rocky Horror Shows His Heels, merely with all-new songs. O'Brien completed a first typhoon of this script (which was read by Terry Jones[96]) simply had difficulties finalising anything beyond the first act, and footling more has been heard of this projection since the mid-2000s.[ commendation needed ]

In spring 2015, O'Brien produced Shock Treatment for the theatrical stage with a premiere at the King'due south Caput Theatre in Islington, London.[97] [98]

Remake [edit]

It featured Barry Bostwick and Meat Loaf in cameo roles.[99] An EP anthology covering 7 songs from the picture was released on 19 October 2010.[100]

On 10 April 2015, the Fob Network announced it would air a modern-twenty-four hour period reimagining of the film, titled The Rocky Horror Picture Testify: Let's Do the Time Warp Again.[101] [102] On 22 October 2015, Fox announced that the role of Dr. Frank Northward. Furter would be played past transgender extra Laverne Cox.[103] Ryan McCartan played Brad, alongside Victoria Justice as Janet, with Reeve Carney equally Riff Raff and singer/model Staz Nair as Rocky.[104] Adam Lambert portrays Eddie.[105] Tim Curry, who portrayed Dr. Frank Due north. Furter in the original picture, portrays the Criminologist.[106] On 1 February 2016, the network announced that Broadway veteran Annaleigh Ashford would portray Columbia.[107] On five February 2016, Ben Vereen joined the cast as Dr. Everett von Scott.[108]
