Boycott MTV Remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show

To:  MTV Studios

The Rocky Horror Picture Show a musical comdey film that was released in 1975 that parodies science fiction and horror films. The film is considered a cult classic and a midnight movie, although it is widely known by mainstream audiences and has a large international following. RHPS was the first movie from a major film studio — 20th Century Fox — in the midnight-movie market.

The movie is one of the most well known and financially successful midnight movies. It is the longest running theatrical release in film history. More than 30 years later it is still in limited release in cinemas around the world. In 2005, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

It has been reported that MTV is planning to remake The Rocky Horror Picture show. According to Variety the network is planning a 2 hour long remake that is based on the original screenplay, and will feature songs not included in the original. No cast has been announced but it is anticipated to be released sometime during Halloween 2009.

There was and still is nothing wrong with this classic, please sign this if you do not want to see the classic be insulted like this especially with MTV being behind it.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
