"__ Haw" Solution on page 2 CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it Thanks to a history-ac- knowledging conceit, a new version of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" won't make you feel like you're in a time warp. The original, stage-show- inspired 1975 film has gotten a workout on cable lately, but Fox debuts a new version Thursday, Oct. 20. Not a live production but a movie, it doesn't pretend the earlier rendering doesn't exist, since — in a direct reference to the first picture's cult-classic status — an audience is shown on screen watching the remake, and actively participating with such "Rocky Horror" essentials as water pistols, toilet paper and rice as it unspools. The update includes a couple of vital returnees: pro- ducer Lou Adler and co-star Tim Curry, alias Dr. Frank-N- Furter the first time and now the tale's narrating Criminol- ogist. Laverne Cox ("Orange Is the New Black") succeeds Curry as the offbeat scientist, with Ryan McCartan ("Liv and Maddie") and Victoria Justice ("Victorious") following Barry Bostwick and Susan Saran- don as straitlaced couple Brad and Janet, stranded at a castle during a Transylvanian convention. "'Rocky Horror" always, in my particular case, had a mind of its own," Adler main - tains. "It sounds a little corny, but I waited for it — which is, basically, the fans — to tell us what we do next. We started doing this television idea quite a while ago, and I guess it just wasn't the right time. Tim came along and validated it by wanting to be in it, and Kenny (Ortega, the remake's director) came along and could direct it to take it to an - other place, always keeping the fans in mind. My son, Cisco Adler, produced the soundtrack. And what Kenny and I said in the beginning was, 'Be true to the original, but make it contemporary.' " Curry says he "loved being there" for the new round's filming: "Kenny runs a very not-easy set, but a set where you really feel you can try anything. I remember quite a lot of the original film, as it was my first movie. It was fun, though, to do it again. I actu - ally offered myself as Dr. von Scott (now played by veteran talent Ben Vereen), because I was already in a wheelchair (following a stroke several years ago). They thought the narrator was a better fit, and I enjoyed it a lot." Ryan McCartan stars in the new remake "The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again" Thursday on Fox.
