New Rocky Horror Show film 16 Years, 10 Months ago

They are remaking the original (fine by me; the film was nowhere near as good as the stage show and our original soundtrack will experience yet another sales revival).

I just resent the fact that my contract for 20% of all profits on everything connected with the project was with a company conveniently liquidated when it started making money.

Bloody Lou Adler is behind it (I gave him the show for the USA and he screwed me out of US rights for years) but so is my old friend the creator Richard O'Brien (who sweetly offered to be a character witness at my trial). No cast yet. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Very interesting Elliott, thank you. It looks like bloody Adler intends to rip Richard off too. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

This story was updated this morning to include new comments from Richard O'Brien.

He later told BBC Radio 5 Live that his involvement had been announced "to suggest I've given the project my seal of approval".

The original was "a wonderful movie", he said.

"I don't know where they'll go with it really," he added.

"I've even heard that they're going to put new songs in.

"I wrote the book, the music and the lyrics.

"Where are they going to get the songs from? Who's going to do that? That's a bit strange isn't it?"

So Adler is planning to add new songs into it! Disgraceful. How on Earth has Adler managed to get the rights to this and be allowed to desecrate O'Brien's work? And rip him and JK off?
