Variety reports that MTV is planning on remaking cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show. Sigh.

The network is planning on using the original screenplay (which, btw, is based on the stage musical) but may add songs. They’re hoping for a Halloween 2009 television premiere, but that’s not definite. No cast has been announced, which means there’s plenty of time for rumors to fly. Undoubtedly some will suggest star of the original Susan Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri to take over Sarandon’s part because people tend to think that kind of thing is cool, you know, keeping it in the family. Some people, that is.
