I am generally in the minority of film snobbery in that a genuinely like re-makes. Obviosuly there are many more bad re-makes then good but some stories and themese deserve to be re-told and often the mark of "original" is highly over-rated. In fact original is now tending to become a kind euphamism for "just fucking weird".
I adore Rocky Horror, and I think it's charm is timeless I don't really think a re-make is a good idea. I am however willing to have my hopes dashed into a million pieces and give it the benefit of the doubt. I don't really think Manson is a good choice, irrespective of it's obvious nature many find him unnerving and eery. I just don't see him able to deliver the passionate and odd allure of Dr Frank.
