This does not seem like a good idea. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080813/ennew_afp/entertainmentbritainusfilmmusi c_080813163055)

$60 million dollar budget and Brett Ratner, John Moore, or McG to direct, please!

Or, fine, Tim Burton. Whatever. Only if Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter star and Danny Elfman arranges.

On the positive side, it couldn't be any worse.

...and Danny Elfman arranges.

With bonus scores by John Williams and Howard Shore!

Richard O'Brien is not involved with the new project and it seems to be unclear whether or not they'll even use the original music.

It's a TV movie on MTV. Who cares?

Where does it say that it's a TV movie? I must have missed that part. It says that the UK premiere will be on the Sky Movies channel, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be released in theaters, does it?

I bet they're going for a High School Musical kind of thing.

So yeah, I bet it can be worse...much worse.

Not in any of the articles you posted, but I wrote about this on my site yesterday citing other sources and out of the six or so articles about it that I read, they keep talking about it being a 2-hour broadcast.

Also, the remake has been in development since 2002... by Fox Television Studios. They're still exec producing this one, since 20th Century Fox owns Rocky Horror. MTV and Sky Movie are just financing it to get broadcast rights. They could change their mind and go theatrical like High School Musical 3, sure, but ehhh. I doubt it.
