Production [edit]
Laverne Cox portrayed Dr. Frank-N-Furter
Plans for a remake at Fox date back to 2002, when a 2003 release date was under consideration to mark the 30-year ceremony of the play which spawned the film, a remake for which former Broadway producer Gail Berman would have been involved equally co-producer. MTV had too planned a remake, set up for 2008 and for which Berman was again tapped to produce, but those plans also fell through.[3]
On April 10, 2015, it was announced that Kenny Ortega, best known for directing the film Hocus Pocus, the High School Musical trilogy, and Michael Jackson's This Is Information technology, would direct the remake.[3] On October 21, 2015, Emmy Award nominee Laverne Cox, best known for her part as prisoner Sophia Burset on Netflix'southward prison comedy-drama Orange Is the New Black, joined the cast to play Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the mad-scientist role originated by Tim Curry in the 1970s.[6] [8] Lou Adler, who produced the original film, also co-produced the remake, forth with Gail Berman and Kenny Ortega; Ortega choreographed the moving picture in addition to directing and producing.[viii] The creative team planned "to stick faithfully to the text and the score of the original just profoundly re-imagine the story visually".[3]
Much of the motion picture was shot at Toronto's Casa Colina, being used for both Frank N. Furter'south castle and the "Castle" moving-picture show theatre where the audience participation scenes and Ivy Levan'southward operation of "Science Fiction/Double Feature" were filmed. A theatre marquee was temporarily erected at the front entrance for these scenes.[9]
An unreleased virtual reality experience was in development at the fourth dimension. A 360-degree video photographic camera rig can exist seen in a Backside-the-scenes video released by Fox during a marketing promotion.[10] All the same, the project was stopped for unknown reasons.
Release [edit]
The globe premiere of the film was on October 18, 2022 at Cannes MIPCOM.[11] The pic premiered on Fox on Oct 20, 2016.[12] The first 25 minutes of the moving picture were screened at San Diego Comic-Con,[12] as well as RKO Con 2, a Rocky Horror convention in Providence, Rhode Island.
The Rocky Horror Moving-picture show: Let's Do the Fourth dimension Warp Again was released on DVD on December 6, 2016. An extended cut of the moving-picture show was included featuring deleted scenes and the frequently excised vocal "Once in a While", every bit sung by Brad.[13]
Reception [edit]
Viewership [edit]
The movie drew four.95 one thousand thousand viewers, with a i.7 rating and a vi share in the 18-49 demographic.[14]
Critical reception [edit]
The special received mixed to negative reviews, although Cox'due south operation was mostly praised. Many critics agreed that the production would accept been better if it were live, raising questions why Fox decided not to do information technology alive, given the success the network had with Grease: Live. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 28% score based on 40 reviews; the disquisitional consensus states, "Laverne Cox'due south fabulous portrayal of Frank Northward. Furter leads a strong ensemble try, but the stars can't infuse this reimagining with enough free energy, creativity, and quirk to brand TRHPS: Let's Do the Time Warp Again a worthwhile endeavour."[fifteen] On Metacritic, the film has a 55 out of 100 rating, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[sixteen]
Esther Zuckerman of The A.V. Club felt that the remake focused too much on the weirdness in the original pic without acknowledging the campiness information technology had been filmed with. Viewers who had never seen the original film would be confused by the movie-within-a-moving picture approach used in the remake.[iv] Matt Tamanini of Broadwayworld.com said that the remake "was a strikingly disappointing missed opportunity" that "felt far more similar a production on Glee than the actual product of Rocky Horror on Glee did", although he did praise the casting of Cox, saying "In the long history of The Rocky Horror Bear witness, the musical has cleaved down doors and helped pave the manner for an era of LGBT acceptance. So for Cox to step into Tim Curry'southward iconic fishnets is a victory in its own right."[17]
Awards [edit]
The programme was nominated for the GLAAD Media Accolade for Outstanding Television set Motion-picture show or Limited Series.[18]
International broadcasts [edit]
The pic was scheduled to be circulate in New Zealand on TV3 on October 24, 2016, three days after its original broadcast.[xix] In Britain, the movie was offset broadcast on October 28, 2022 on Heaven Cinema Premiere.[20]
