    MTV Relaunches 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'

    One of the original's exec producers is onboard


    Lou Adler, an executive producer of the original Rocky Horror Picture Show, has partnered with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios to relaunch the 1975 film on MTV. The updated two-hour version will be based on a screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien, and may feature new music. A director and cast has not been named as of yet. Neither has a start date for production, but Adler told Variety he'd like to have it shown on MTV a year from this Halloween.

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show has pulled in $140 million over the years, a tally that's largely pegged to midnight screenings of the cult classic.
