Are you ready to do the time warp again?
Check out the first trailer for FOX's small-screen remake of the cult midnight movie musical "Rocky Horror Picture Show," about a newly-engaged couple who, after their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, find themselves escaping the rain and knocking on the door of a nearby castle that belongs to that "sweet transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania," Dr. Frank-N-Furter (who was famously played by Tim Curry in the original film, but is now being performed by "Orange is the New Black" star Laverne Cox).
Directed by "High School Musical" helmer Kenneth Ortega, the two-hour TV musical will also star Victoria Justice, Ryan McCartan, Adam Lambert, Christina Milian, Annaleigh Ashford, Staz Nair, and "Penny Dreadful" actor Reeve Carney in Richard O'Brien's iconic role of Riff Raff, the ghoulish-looking handyman. Legendary stage and film performer Ben Vereen also makes an appearance as Dr. Everett von Scott, while Tim Curry will appear as the movie's narrator.
"Rocky Horror Picture Show" will air sometime in October, near Halloween.
synopsis:
A reimagining of the original movie, the two-hour event follows sweethearts JANET (Victoria Justice) and BRAD (Ryan McCartan), who stumble upon DR. FRANK-N-FURTER’s (Emmy Award-nominated actress Laverne Cox) bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious mad-scientist, is holding an annual Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of ROCKY HORROR -- a muscle-bound specimen created solely to fulfill Frank's desires. Actor and singer Staz Nair will star in the role.
Also featured in the event are AMERICAN IDOL alum Adam Lambert as EDDIE, Reeve Carney as RIFF RAFF, Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford as COLUMBIA, Christina Milian as MAGENTA, Ivy Levan as USHERETTE, Tony Award winner Ben Vereen as DR. EVERETT SCOTT and Emmy Award nominee Tim Curry, the original Frank-N-Furter, as the show's CRIMINOLOGIST NARRATOR.
Celebrating 40 years of theatrical distribution -- longer than any other film in history -- "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is one of the most popular films of all time, and still plays in movie theaters around the world.
directed by Kenneth Ortega
starring Laverne Cox, Victoria Justice, Reeve Carney, Ryan McCartan, Adam Lambert, Christina Milian, Annaleigh Ashford, Staz Nair, Ben Vereen, Tim Curry
