Below, watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show trailer.
Kenny Ortega (Hocus Pocus and Newsies) directed the remake, which stars Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan as Janet and Brad, musician Adam Lambert as Eddie, Penny Dreadful’s Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, Staz Nair as Rocky, Annaleigh Ashford as Columbia, and Christina Milian as Magenta. Curry, who played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the original film, returns to the world of The Rocky Horror Picture Show to provide narration as The Criminologist.
The trailer and the TV movie, surprisingly, acknowledge the midnight shows fans famously participate in for The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Here’s the trailer:
Here’s the official synopsis:
Executive-produced by Lou Adler (Grammy Award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee), Gail Berman (TV, film and Broadway producer) and Kenny Ortega (“High School Musical” franchise, “This Is It,” “Descendants,” “Hocus Pocus,” “Newsies”), The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a reimagining of the cult classic, which is celebrating 40 years of theatrical distribution – longer than any other film in history. One of the most popular films of all time, it still plays in movie theaters around the world.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show follows sweethearts Janet (Justice) and Brad (McCartan), who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s (Cox) bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious alien mad-scientist – with the help of his faithful servants, Riff Raff (Carney) and Magenta – is holding an annual, Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of “Rocky Horror” (Nair) – a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank’s desires.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show will air on Thursday, October 20th at 8/7c.
