CASTING SHOCKER: LAVERNE COX AS DR FRANK-N-FURTER IN THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!

We just don’t know WHAT to think about the casting of Laverne Cox as Dr Frank-N-Furter in the Fox TV live remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Certainly she has the acting talent and probably the voice to match. But the original star Tim Curry has some big shoes to fill. He was brilliant and unforgettable as the cross-dressing mad scientist. Casting a transgender WOMAN in the role of a transvestite MAN is confusing, indeed. Wow. But that’s what might make it a must-see production.

    I never like the remake of anything.

    Some movies just don’t need a re-make. This would be one of them.

    Call out these perverts for the disease they spread. A Gay in a dress!

    who is that horrifying Woman ?

  5. Management

    Interesting idea, but wonder whether the stunt-casting will work to freshen a show LONG past its sell-by date.

    Nostalgia aside, “Rocky” hasn’t aged well.

    The “regulars” who comment in these threads are the biggest bunch of losers.
