I don't necessarily disagree but, um, isn't that how he dresses normally?

Re: I see you shiver with antici........
I've never seen Izzard dance. I've seen a couple of his stand-up shows, and pretty much all I've seen him do is ... stand up. In a dress. (Actually I think I've mostly seen him wear a skirt.) I mean, he's funny and all, but would he really have the chops to play the part?
But beyond the question of who could pull a particular role off, while a new stage revival is certainly workable, my main issue with this is that as a film, the quintessential version has already been done. A remake will never capture what the film accomplished. A great deal of its charm is the dated cheesiness.

The songs are obviously the same but sung very differently. However, I love them both ways.
Tim Curry made that part his own and I just can't imagine anybody else playing the part.
I also love Eddie Izzard but I can't really see him in the role.

More than you can possibly imagine. Phwoar! 
But I am well aware that my sick perversions are not your problem, so I'll drop the subject.

As much as it pains me, I have to snip the Frank n Furter pics throughout this reply
Errm! No. He doesn't dress like that! He does cross dress and wear make-up -and I think he's quite sexy in both guises, to be honest. But Frank n Furter he aint!

Sock said it much better than me. That is exactly my point!

Re: I see you shiver with antici........
Sock - See Revengers Tragedy or Cat's Meow or his series The Riches on FX, but especially Revengers Tragedy. He's a talented actor and getting better the more he works at it. While I am confident he could pull the role off, I seriously doubt he would do it. Which means I won't be forced to support this travesty, which is fine with me.
Legs - I've never actually thought of that. I prefer Stewie's cookie whore girlfriend anyway, possibly my favorite fictional Janet of all.

The resemblance in those two pictures is startling.

You bastards.... I so want to hate the idea of a Rocky Horror remake.
Now I'm seeing possibilities. Damn you, Damn you all.

What's wrong with using the original cast?

Hey that's funny. I checked IMDB to make sure and seems he had a cameo in the Tenacious D flick. It's destiny!
