I just found out that Fox will be airing a RHPS reboot in 2016. I hate just about everything about this idea, because I think the original is perfect. That being said, I think that LC could hit it out of the park - it is an interesting idea...

This remake would be a failure of epic proportions. I mean, how could they let a transgender woman play a male transvestite?!

I know that Cox is transgender, but is she playing one?

"I'm just a sweet transvestite" no I don't think so.

Through the magic of "acting". Frank N Furter is a character, it's not a damned biopic.

My TV was left on Fox when I was cooking dinner and this crapfest came on. I can't believe I let the Neilson ratings people think I was watching it

I thought it was a great "homage" to the original. She did a fantastic job- excellent singer.

She ruined the role... and the movie for me. Nothing to do with talent, Just miscast.
