Production [edit]

Laverne Cox portrayed Dr. Frank-N-Furter

Plans for a remake at Play tricks date back to 2002, when a 2003 release appointment was under consideration to mark the xxx-year anniversary of the play which spawned the film, a remake for which one-time Broadway producer Gail Berman would have been involved as co-producer. MTV had too planned a remake, set for 2008 and for which Berman was once more tapped to produce, but those plans also roughshod through.[3]

On April x, 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 directly the remake.[3] On October 21, 2015, Emmy Honor nominee Laverne Cox, best known for her part as prisoner Sophia Burset on Netflix's prison comedy-drama Orange Is the New Black, joined the bandage to play Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the mad-scientist role originated past Tim Curry in the 1970s.[6] [8] Lou Adler, who produced the original movie, also co-produced the remake, along with Gail Berman and Kenny Ortega; Ortega choreographed the flick in addition to directing and producing.[8] The creative team planned "to stick faithfully to the text and the score of the original but greatly re-imagine the story visually".[iii]

Much of the moving picture was shot at Toronto's Casa Hill, being used for both Frank N. Furter's castle and the "Castle" movie theatre where the audition participation scenes and Ivy Levan's performance of "Scientific discipline Fiction/Double Characteristic" were filmed. A theatre marquee was temporarily erected at the forepart entrance for these scenes.[9]

An unreleased virtual reality experience was in development at the time. A 360-degree video camera rig can exist seen in a behind-the-scenes video released by Flim-flam during a marketing promotion.[10] Still, the project was stopped for unknown reasons.

Release [edit]

The globe premiere of the film was on October 18, 2016 at MIPCOM.[eleven] The film premiered on Fox on October 20, 2016.[12] The showtime 25 minutes of the film were screened at San Diego Comic-Con,[12] also as RKO Con 2, a Rocky Horror convention in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Rocky Horror Pic Show: Let'southward Do the Time Warp Again was released on DVD on December six, 2016. An extended cutting of the moving picture was included featuring deleted scenes and the oft excised song "Once in a While", equally sung past Brad.[13]

Reception [edit]

Viewership [edit]

The movie drew 4.95 meg viewers, with a 1.vii rating and a 6 share in the 18-49 demographic.[fourteen]

Critical reception [edit]

The special received mixed to negative reviews, although Cox's performance was mostly praised.[ commendation needed ] Many critics agreed that the product would have been better if it were live, raising questions why Fox decided non to do information technology live, given the success the network had with Grease: Live. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 28% score based on 40 reviews; the critical consensus states, "Laverne Cox's fabled portrayal of Frank N. Furter leads a strong ensemble effort, just the stars tin can't infuse this reimagining with enough free energy, inventiveness, and quirk to brand TRHPS: Let'south Do the Time Warp Once again a worthwhile endeavor."[15] On Metacritic, the flick has a 55 out of 100 rating, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[16]

Esther Zuckerman of The A.Five. Club felt that the remake focused too much on the weirdness in the original film without acknowledging the campiness it had been filmed with. Viewers who had never seen the original film would exist dislocated by the movie-inside-a-movie approach used in the remake.[4] Matt Tamanini of Broadwayworld.com said that the remake "was a strikingly disappointing missed opportunity" that "felt far more than like a production on Glee than the bodily production of Rocky Horror on Glee did", although he did praise the casting of Cox, saying "In the long history of The Rocky Horror Prove, the musical has broken down doors and helped pave the way for an era of LGBT acceptance. Then for Cox to step into Tim Back-scratch'south iconic fishnets is a victory in its own right."[17]

Awards [edit]

The program was nominated for the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Movie or Express Series.[18]

International broadcasts [edit]

The moving-picture show was scheduled to be broadcast in New Zealand on TV3 on Oct 24, 2016, 3 days afterward its original broadcast.[19] In U.k., the picture was first broadcast on October 28, 2016 on Sky Movie house Premiere.[20]
