Rocky Horror Picture Show Fans!!! How does this sound for a movie?

Asked by Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter (587points) May 13th, 2008

So how does this sound? Tim Curry as Dr. Frank N Furter (of course), Keith Allen as Riff Raff, Mike Myers as Brad Majors, and me as Janet Weiss.

I don’t know. Have I seen you act somewhere before?

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

trust me I’m not trying to brag but I am really good. In fact I am going to start doing commercials

scamp's avatar

I honestly can’t answer then. Good luck starting out!

I think if it were the 1975 Tim Curry, that would be ok…
Keith Allen… good choice
Mike Meyers… what about Rick Moranis? I think either one would be a good call.
Could we cast Brad Pitt as Rocky? snicker Though he may not be big and buff enough.
Johnny Depp as Eddie?
I’ve always wanted to play Magenta…

Sorry… this is fun, I could go on for hours…

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

you can be magenta.
maybe silvester stilone. He might not be as buff as he used to though…

Giddy's avatar

Tim Curry is far too heavy now to reprise that role, wouldn’t you agree?

psyla's avatar

Mrs Dr Frank N Furter, I cannot ascertain your appropriateness for the role of Janet Weiss unless you were to describe in detail what you are currently wearing. In detail please.

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

osakarob. he has gained some weight but he isn’t like fat that is what the corsett is also for

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

well i can say that I am wearing a cape (like Frank did in the begining of the song “Sweet Transvestite”)

psyla's avatar

Capes are very useful and fashionable. What else do you have on?

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

pink long dress shirt

And?........

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

the usual

Sorry to interrupt here, but if Tim Curry will be reprising his role, shouldn’t Susan Sarandon reprise hers? Let’s see, I need to cast Janet Weiss. On one hand I have you, very good by your own admission, and so good that you are going to start doing commercials someday. On the other hand, we have Susan Sarandon. I’m not sure how she feels about her own acting, but since her role in RHPS, others have thought enough to nominate her for the Academy Award for Best Actress five times and award it to her once. She was nominated seven times for the Golden Globes and has been nominated or won several other awards. I can’t recall her doing a single commercial but she has starred in nearly fifty motion pictures, including Dead Man Walking, Thelma & Louise, Bull Durham, and Lorenzo’s Oil, to name a few. Hmmmmmm…..It has to be you, hands down. The hell with Sarandon, or whatever her name is. I think it was your modesty that won me over. I just need to be certain you do not have any expectations that Mr. Curry will look exactly like he did when he did the role in 1975. After all, it was 33 years ago. You do realize it is 2008 don’t you? Well, don’t you?

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

no she shouldn’t. I’m not just starting commercials. I plan to work my way up. Also it’s not just commercials it’s actually major movie extras. ones that talk and are involved. please don’t be sarcastic. Yes I know that he is 62 now. but he is also a very hot 62 year old.

psyla's avatar

Take off your cape, lose the socks, make sure your panties are baggy and white and you’ve got the Janet Weiss role.

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

yea i know how that is how she dresses, but my dad is kinda home and i’m not going to do that

psyla's avatar

Well, keep the cape on and encourage him to leave the house on some pretext.

psyla's avatar

Tell him that there’s a limited sale of his favorite hobby item at his favorite store and it’s one-day-only and how cool it would be to get such a bargain. If that doesn’t work, tell him you saw a nail stuck in one of his tires. How devious!

whatthefluther's avatar

Oh, sorry. Can I play Eddie? Johnny Depp’s got nothing on me and I’m sure Meat Loaf wont mind.

psyla's avatar

If whatthefluther is Eddie, I insist that I’m Columbia.

whatthefluther's avatar

Yes, yes…what a marvelous cast we’re forming! I guess Mrs_D is having a bit of trouble working daddy at the moment.

whatthefluther's avatar

But with her acting skills, I know she’ll succeed.

Mrs_Dr_Frank_N_Furter's avatar

ok so
Frank N Furter-Tim Curry
Janet-Me
Brad-Mike Myers
Riff Raff-Keith Allen
Columbia-Psyla (only if you are nice to me)
Magenta-Giddy
Eddie-Whatthefluther

psyla's avatar

Of course I’ll be nice to you. Forget about the faked nail in the tire. I don’t want to die unhappy when Keith Allen and Giddy kill me.
