Victoria Justice joins Rocky Horror Picture Show Fox Remake
Quote:
Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan (Heathers The Musical) have been tapped to star as younger leads Janet and Brad opposite Laverne Cox in Fox’s TV remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Reeve Carney (Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark) and Staz Nair also have been cast in the two-hour taped event, described as a reimagining of the 20th Century Fox cult classic. It’s scheduled to shoot this winter for premiere in the fall.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show follows sweethearts Janet Weiss (Justice) and Brad Majors (McCartan), played in the movie by Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick, who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s (Cox) bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious alien mad-scientist, is holding an annual, Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of “Rocky Horror” – a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank’s desires (to be played by Nair). Carney will play Riff Raff, one of Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s loyal servants. Lou Adler, Gail Berman and Kenny Ortega are executive producing.
