MTV Seeks Rocky Horror Remake

Yes, you unfortunately read that title correctly: MTV is seriously planning to remake the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
While I cannot deny how popular musicals have become (i.e. Mamma Mia!, High School Musical, Hairspray), are there not already tons of other musicals to tamper with other than this one? Can producers possibly more cold-hearted than I thought?
On the upside (yes, there’s actually an upside) to this, the executive producer of the original, Lou Adler, is attached to the project, along with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios. They also plan on using the original screenplay (thankfully!); however, they may incorporate songs not included in the original (what?).

‘X-Files’ Movie Slated for July 2008
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
July 25, 2008. That date will be personally significant to me but globally significant to sci-fi fans everywhere. Although my husband should be taking me out to dinner to celebrate our 4-year wedding anniversary, I sense that evening will be spent in a movie theater instead. After all—how often does an X-Files film come around?
After years of rumors and denials, what had been looking like a pipe dream is now becoming a reality. David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and creator Chris Carter have finally gotten their acts together and jointly committed to the long-awaited X-Files sequel. Production is scheduled to start in December in time for the Summer 2008 release date.
Although the cult series only ended in 2002, it has been a whopping ten years since Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were last seen on the big screen. While the new film is meant to be a ‘stand-alone’ feature, I suspect DVD rentals of the series and movie will spike sometime around June of next year. I know I could use a bit of refreshing myself; the only thing I remember about the first pic were the bees. Lots of them.
