Cult Classic Remake Planned by MTV

Every weekend, in towns across America and around the world.
In a move that will either delight or appall its notoriously dedicated fanbase, MTV has decided to redo the 1975 cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” as a made-for-TV film spanning two hours, Variety reported Wednesday. The same gender-bending screenplay, co-written by original cast member Richard O’Brien, will be used, though a little wiggle room will be allowed for added musical numbers.
The first movie, initially a financial flop, has aired continuously in movie theaters around the world since its initial release, earning nearly $140 million and attracting scores of costumed and vocal enthusiasts to special midnight screenings, where amateur performers often mimic the onscreen action and audience props are abundant.
Based on the stage musical of the same name, the 23-year-old motion picture followed two straight-laced fiancés, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, as they became stranded at a remote gothic castle and were taken prisoner and subjected to sexual debauchery by the building’s inhabitants: a transsexual alien bent on world domination, his bevy of twisted servants and his genetically engineered, muscle-bound sex slave. It starred Barry Bostwick, Tim Curry, Meatloaf and Susan Sarandon.
There hasn’t been any word as to the newer feature’s casting (or release date), though the movie’s subject material makes it unlikely the usual set of stars familiar to the youth-oriented cable network’s primary viewers (e.g., Zac Efron or Ashley Tisdale) would be considered.
MTV has already been doling out a bit of milder sexual decadence...

David Duchovny happy to be back as Mulder

I thought I would fall back into Mulder very naturally, but at first playing the character felt a little odd,” says ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ star David Duchovny. “I didn’t want to make any drastic changes in the way I played Mulder because the character is so well-known. But of course I’m older now, and so is Mulder, so some things had to change.”
The film reunites series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson under the direction of series creator Chris Carter, who co-wrote the screenplay with Frank Spotnitz. ‘The X-Files 2’ encountered delays. Carter and Fox fought a court battle over royalties from re-runs of the television series, then the WGA writers strike hit.
“I’d say David was as responsible as anyone for getting this movie made,” says ‘The X-Files 2’ director Chris Carter. “He campaigned for it. He wanted to do it. David was really the key cheerleader in sustaining our interest in doing another film.”
David Duchovny says that presenting Mulder and Scully as they are today was a critical decision. “It was important to allow time to go on in the world of The X-Files as it’s gone on in the world at large,” says Duchovny. “I think one of the most interesting things we do as actors is to try and embody the same character as time goes by, working with the changes of life or consciousness that happen to us with time.”
“I think the reason The X-Files series was so successful was that Chris imagined a beautiful universe, perfectly devised,” says ‘The X-Files 2’ screenwriter Frank Spotnitz. “He created two very powerful characters, perfectly cast, with opposing views of the world, one a believer, the other a skeptic. Mulder and Scully dealt with the limits of what we understand about life and about the universe. It really is an incredibly rich and diverse universe, and an endless source of storytelling. I think the voice of this movie is still very clearly the voice that Chris defined in the series pilot, sixteen years ago.”
Duchovny has wanted to return to Fox Mulder and The X-Files since the show ended its long run in 2002. “I always felt that The X-Files as a movie franchise had real life in it,” says Duchovny. ‘The X-Files’ television series aired from 1993 to 2002. It won five Golden Globes. When Fox released the first ‘The X-Files’ movie in 1998, it grossed $187 million worldwide. For its first five seasons the televisies shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, before moving to Los Angeles. ‘The X-Files 2’ was filmed in Vancouver.
