In case you’ve been on a self-imposed Internet and TV ban for the past few weeks, Glee is going to do a Rocky Horror-themed episode … and everyone’s talking about it. There’s been so much buzz, in fact, that Fox is considering using Glee co-creator and writer Ryan Murphy to launch a new Rocky Horror Picture Show feature-length film.
Murphy has written and directed big-budget Glee episodes like “The Power of Madonna” and “Britney/Brittany.” He also directed Julia Roberts in the recent film Eat Pray Love. Ryan Murphy definitely has the cred to do music and movies -- so why not a movie musical?
So far, reports say that Murphy and Fox 2000 are in talks about doing the project. We hope the discussions go well!

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?).
