It sounds like the OP was naming a high-quality cast that could do justice to a remake, not the piddling assemblage of misfits making the "re-imagining". That is IF a remake of any kind had to be made, which it shouldn't ever, beyond stage productions, might as well go for the gold casting-wise!

Just my two cents, but the recent trend of remakes is criminal.

You just have to be resigned-
You're crashing by design

I wasn't too thrilled when I heard that a remake was in the works. But, since I found out Ben Vereen and Tim Curry are part of the cast I'm thinking I may watch it. Plus yesterday I saw a very short clip of Laverne Cox as Frank. The clip wasn't long enough to say Ms Cox is good or bad as Frank. But, it was enough to spark my interest.

I mean... You kinda have to have Laverne. She's the most famous ACTUAL transvestite. She's such a fantastic diva and a great choice.

reply

Do you know the difference between a transvestite and a transsexual? No, I didn't think so.

I usually loath remakes. These conversations are fun only as a goof.

Frank - Paul Stanley - very flamboyant onstage persona
Janet - Jennifer Love Hewitt - acts, sings and great body
Brad - Anthony Michael Hall - good at playing nerds
Riff - David Patrick Kelly - a creepy character actor who sings
Magenta - Rae Dawn Chong - has the right hair
Columbia - Molly Ringwald - an actress who sings
Dr. Scott - Rutger Hauer - serious actor with Germanic sounding accent
Rocky - Sylvester Stallone - doesn't say much and played the other Rocky
Eddie - Evan Seinfeld - sings, acts and looks like an outlaw biker
Criminologist - Michael Douglas - has the chin for it

I am an old fart and know music better than movies. This would be a great geriatric cast or would have rocked back in the '80s.
