Fox
has released the first trailer for the upcoming reimagining of the 1975 cult
classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The two-hour event follows sweethearts Janet
(Victoria Justice) and Brad (Ryan McCartan), who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter's
(Laverne Cox) bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious
mad-scientist, is holding an annual Transylvanian science convention to
showcase the birth of Rocky Horror – a muscle-bound specimen created solely to
fulfill Frank’s desires. Actor and singer Staz Nair ("Game of
Thrones") will star in the role.
Also
starring in the event series are American Idol alum Adam Lambert as Eddie,
Reeve Carney ("Penny Dreadful") as Riff Raff, Tony Award winner
Annaleigh Ashford as Columbia, Christina Milian ("Grandfathered") as Magenta,
Ivy Levan as Usherette, Tony Award winner Ben Vereen as Dr. Everett Scott and Tim
Curry, the original Frank-N-Furter, as the show’s Criminologist Narrator.
The
Rocky Horror Picture Show will air this Halloween.
Celebrating
40 years of theatrical distribution – longer than any other film in history, The
Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the most popular films of all time, and
still plays in movie theaters around the world.
