Synopsis
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016) is a Fox television reimagining of the 1975 cult musical — watch online on iFILM. Director Kenny Ortega keeps all the original songs and replaces the cast with a lineup built for a new audience.
Brad and Janet's car breaks down outside the wrong mansion on the wrong night. Dr. Frank-N-Furter is throwing a party, revealing a creation, and not particularly interested in his guests' comfort. Laverne Cox takes the lead role and makes it her own without erasing memory of the original; Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan play the hapless couple. Adam Lambert shows up as Eddie. Tim Curry, who originated Frank-N-Furter in 1975, appears in a different role — a nod that longtime fans will catch immediately.
For newcomers this is a perfectly good entry point into the Rocky Horror universe. For devotees, it's a cover version: familiar enough to sing along to, different enough to be worth the comparison. Stream The Rocky Horror Picture Show (2016) online on iFILM.
