They've been trying to remake Rocky Horror for years now. I remember about 5 years ago a rumor popped up that it was going to be a made-for-tv movie with Marilyn Manson as Frank, an L.A plastic surgeon.
Conan's been in the works, too. Just the other day the Hollywood Reporter uhh, reported that writers had been hired, and that they want this to be a series of films.
Remember a short time ago when Triple H was rumored for the part? I think John Milius himself wanted HHH for the role.
Triple H...LOL I still remember that Conan style intro on a throne.

After Bad Lieutenant, I know there's nothing they won't remake.
Conan doesn't bother me though because that's not a remake of a movie, it's a new adaptation of old material. It'd be like a new Tarzan or something. That's fine.
New RH is a very very very stupid idea. The reason that movie is even popular has passed. It came at a time when just about everything in it was very taboo and was an outlet for many people that enjoyed the weird and odd.
For modern audiences to get the same thing it would need to have something like a romantic love comedy between a tranny cow in a dress and a 12 year old hermaphrodite that sings like Freddie Mercury. And some random tubgirl and goat.se parts,
I'd like to see a new Tarzan.Quote:

Weather permitting.
