News on Rocky Horror 2 from THE MAN Himself!
Martin A. Fairgrieve
The hot news from the weekend that Richard gave us (Ruth FW and Myself -
and at points to the assembled masses in Fab Cafe Manchester!)
are:
* The Rocky Horror 2 script is done. It's an early draft, but it's
complete.
Richard says he still wants to do it on stage. Richard asked Terry Jones
(of Monty Python fame) to comment on the script, he described it as a
"Ripping read!" But, as did Richard the second act needs tiding up - It
is set 9 months after the events of "Rocky..."1 and Janet is pregnant -
Who is the Father????
* Columbia and Frank and Rocky will return!! (Eddie will not. Sorry.)
* Richard actually sang a song from the sequel at a charity appearance
at
the Fab Cafe, called "I'm Not Dead Yet" (sung by Frank). No, we don't
have
audio copies--we wish we did!
*Richard also said he is going to LA to talk with Lou and Fox about -
get
this! - a TV movie remake (!) of the film. He says it would start again
from the play script, keeping the same basic story but with some
possible
rewriting of the script. He told us after his gig at the cafe that he
thinks what Fox wants is something to showcase American actors for the
domestic market.The budget is to be $8million--remember, the original
film was done for $1M(though that was 26 years ago).
*Richard's preference? He'd like to see an animated version, and said
if it
were up to him, he'd have the animators do it who did "Nightmare Before
Christmas."
A really cool and funky idea - IMHO!!!
Thanks to Ruth for some of the words there!
Hope you like those little titbits, and he may have more news at the LA
shows this weekend coming.
The charity auction did not feature any movie or stage play props, but I
was told (Not by Richard) that last year he auctioned off Columbia's
film TAP SHOES.
Speak soon (a full digest of the weekends events will be given to
"Crazed..." for a future issue look out for that.
All the best from Scotland, MARTY

HOOOOO-FUCKING-PLAAAAAAAA!!!!
This is gonna rock. Im really hoping they go for the "Nightmare Before
Christmas" idea over live actors: no matter who they use with live performers,
it will never be like or equal the film. After all, we all have the film to
compare them with, y'know?
How will Frank and Columbia come back to life? I have a suspicion that good
old fashioned Transylvanian science will have a hand in that!
Who is the father of Janets baby? If we go by the film, then its Frank. After
all, he slept with Janet first. That is, if Transylvanians and Terrans can
concieve a child together. If not, then Rocky is the dad as his parts are made
in the USA. (hmmm, CAN Rocky reproduce? That may be an editorial for Crazed
Imaginations one day...)
Thanks for the update, Martin and Ruth!

I must concur, but with a budget of only $M8 I am sure the animation will be out
side they pay pack (Unfortunately).

Well all the characters that are to return were killed by Riff's ray gun! Were they
dead or just put into suspended animation?????

Were they? Could Rocky not have been brought from Transylvania as a self assembly
package?

What about Brad, he after all took the tramp home after the events and there is the
possibility he would have slept with her once they got home, no????
Just my $0.02
Marty
BertSchnik
<Where they dead or just put into suspended animation???>
I would opt for killed..after all, a beam of pure anti-matter should have
made toast of anything. Of course an anti-matter reaction would also blow away
a good portion of the surrouding geography, as well.
Umm, Riff borrowed a "stun" setting from the boys who make phasers for the
Federation of planets and only stunned them?
<Could Rocky not have been brought from Transylvania as a self assembly
package?>
I dont think so-Ive always like the idea of Frank and Riffraff doing a Mary
Shelly's "Frankenstein" number and digging up body parts from the graveyards
and using the raw material.
(Plus-why come all the way to earth to build Rocky when Frank could have done
it back home on Transexual?)
<What about Brad, there is the possibility that he could have slept with her
once they got home, no???">
God, I hope so! Poor Brad deserves a little lovin' from Janet. ('specially
since Rocky and Frank slipped it into her before Brad did, and they werent even
dating her!)
But I would tend to think Frank is the father. After all, he was in there
first, and once a spern inseminates and egg, the egg's membrane wont allow
another sperm in. Again, assuming Frank and indeed produce a kid with Janet.
Rocky is next, but wether he can reproduce is debatable. But Frank wouldnt make
a creation that wasnt perfect in every way (except for the half-a-brain thing)
would he?
Hmm, but as the only %100 human, maybe Brad IS the father...time, and Richard
O'Brien, will tell us! :)
Thanks again Marty, you and Emma and the rest of the Forks rule all of
Scotland!
Luv ya!

He also could have just plain lied to Brad, Janet and Dr. Scott. While this was
an enourmous life changing even for the earthlings, this might have just been a
run of the mill way to get Frank laid. Maybe they toured the universe with this
whole theatrical flamboyant display (comeplete with musical numbers) just so
Frank can get some interplanetary intercourse action. Af after Riff "shoots"
Frank with the "laser" and the house takes off, Frank stands up and says "Okay,
where to next?"

Because its essential to the plot.

Yeah, Brad got his and he enjoyed it. While Frank does sleep with Janet so as
not to be all the way gay, Brad loves the cock.
> But I would tend to think Frank is the father...
I read in a interview he wrote somewhere that Frank is indeed the Father. It
makes for a much more interesting movie that way.

Anyway, I was very excited about the news of Rocky Horror two, and so
pleased to hear Frank is comming (as always) back. My ideal dream would be
to have Tim Curry back in the role, but the likelyhood of that is very slim
by my rekoning (damnit... Janet)...
An animated RHPS would be fantastic, I can just picture it now (again, Tim
Curry's voice is very predominant...

Many thanks to Marty for not immediately posting the news so that we could

email me at ru...@crazedimaginations.com . We don't always have scoops like
this, but sometimes we do...subscribers got the poop on the Virgin signing,
an electronic color photo of Pat from a signing in Sydney, and a candid of
Columbia in her American Gothic costume, and now this. We try to do right
by the folks that support us; we do appreciate it.
OK, end of commercial. :-)
We did get that Richard interview I've been wanting to get for approximately
forever. He talks about his stage career ("They Used to Be in Movies" as
Mickey Mouse with Nell as Minnie; she didn't remember this at the NYC con; T
Zee; Little Shop of Horrors); his audio career (recording the Richard
O'Brien Crusade version of "There's a Light"; information on a picture
sleeve for Kimi and Ritz; what Ritz things is the best thing he ever wrote);
his philosophy on money; his least favorite interview question; and
more...we'll print that in an issue or two once I get caught up! (Single
copies $3.50 in US; $4.50 in Canada; $5 elsewhere; we accept US currency and
PayPal; write to inquire about paying in UK pounds or French francs.)

they wont anyway. I'd like to see the animated version myself, but a budget of
8 mil makes that a practical impossibility. Given that budget, a straight to TV
movie is far more likely, I forsee something popping up on VH1 round about
Halloween next year.
My guess for Frank would be Eric McCormick, who did such a spectacular job at
the 25th, is a known TV star, AND professed to Jeff Cook and myself the desire
to take on the role at any time. AND he looked terrific in the costume!!
Lets speculate on what TV stars might get cast. I threw out my choice for
Frank, now its your turn. Dont forget, they MUST sing!!

advantages to making a film that way: it's far cheaper than live action
[although paying people to do the voices is still a factor] and the
merchandising is a lot easier [translate the objects to .dxf and use them
for action figures, et cetera].
Personally, I'd be opposed to doing a film that way; but it would be
nice to be able to recreate the characters in LightWave for websites,
animating them to do whatever you liked.
Regarding the budget: we [Wasted] could do a feature-lengthed animated
film for under five million; depending on the budget for voices and
distribution, eight million would be more than enough to get this done.
Is this thing confirmed yet? imdb.com haven't got anything on it at all.

This whole post just seems like a troll, but I'll answer anyway, I just
can't resist.
First of all, wether you enjoyed Nightmare or not, you have to admit
that it was a work of pure genius, from the music to the characters and
animation. I don't have any dollar figures on hand, but I would guess
that stop motion animation of that caliber would cost as much if not
more than a regular live action movie. And perhaps you cold do a full
length feature for 5 mil. but would it be of the same quality and
caliber as Nightmare? I think not.

Richard is merely going to LA to talk with Fox and Adler about this idea to
do a TV movie. It may not happen at all. Richard fished the first night
when we met him to see if we knew anything, then said he couldn't tell us
since we didn't.
He announced it two nights later at the Fab Cafe saying he couldn't keep it
to himself any longer.
So I'd be quite surprised if this was something that was far enough along
that the IMDb would pick it up.

This is NOT a group that will agree with your "opinion" of Nightmare, and I use
the term "opinion" loosely here, even though it is. Usually an "opinion" has
some facts to back it up, if not, it's more bullshit than opinion. And your
post REEKS!!! I think I can honestly say, on behalf of all of us:
YOU HAVE NO TASTE, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE!
Wow. "Nightmare" sucked? You're the first person I ever met who thought that

Well, that's why they're called opinions.
They tend to be pretty strong. (As you should know, you just voiced one using
the word "hate", which indicates an extreme position held)
And as far as the "so what if . . . " section of your statement- this NG
functions in great part due to the fact that there's many people who have
extreme feelings toward a movie (RHPS). Shouldn't be surprising if they have
equally strong dedications to others as well. He just happened to hit upon one

It is an acquired taste, to be sure. Sort of a
David-Letterman-love-him-or-hate-him kind of thing.
For myself, I just love stop animation. It amazes me to no end, so I tend to
like a lot of it. And after a while the songs stick in your head too.
Then again, there's a large number of movies I watch that no one in their right
mind would touch with a cattle prod (and understandably so) so I can't really
say much.

Others have already commented well enough about this, so I'll stick
to commenting on the items I'm well versed in.
: there would be a couple of advantages to making a film that way: it's far
: cheaper than live action [although paying people to do the voices is still
: a factor]
What makes you think 3D stop motion animation is cheaper (overall)
then live action? Seeing as how you couldn't be any more mistaken
(3D stop motion animation is one of the most expensive ways to
create film possible), I'm rather curious where you've obtained your
information. Do you have a source or is your statement simply the
conjecture of a layman as it would appear?
: and the merchandising is a lot easier [translate the objects to .dxf and
: use them for action figures, et cetera].
You make it sound easy, and maybe it is (I'm not a product
designer), but I have my doubts. How much product design
(particularly toy design) experience did you say you have?
: Personally, I'd be opposed to doing a film that way; but it would be nice
: to be able to recreate the characters in LightWave for websites, animating
: them to do whatever you liked.
You keep referring to 3D computer graphic systems. Why? TNBC was
claymation, not 3D computer graphics. If you're talking about 3D
model scanning, AFAIK (I'm not a 3D computer graphics artist) that's
generally not very useful (accurate) for the small models typically
found used in claymation.
: Regarding the budget: we [Wasted] could do a feature-lengthed animated
: film for under five million; depending on the budget for voices and
: distribution, eight million would be more than enough to get this done.
Again, I'd be very curious were you [Wasted] get your information.
I'd also be curious to know what feature film credits "Wasted
Footage Productions" holds, if any, especially animation credits.
Besides...these days it's hard to shoot 10,000 feet of film with the
lens cap on and not burn through a few million in the process, let
alone actually shooting a real film. Unless you follow the Ed Wood
school of film making (which hey, might just work here:-), I think
your budget ideas are a little off.
: Is this thing confirmed yet? imdb.com haven't got anything on it at all.
Is Wasted Footage Productions a real production company? imdb.com
haven't got anything on it at all.

I really don't care about the entire 'differing opinions' thing; I just
don't think people should get attacked over it. Then again, after spending
more than six months occasionally hanging out in a religious debate room,
one /does/ get sick of those sorts of things....

Not everyone did though, and there are probably some people out there who
liked that 'Ishtar' thing more. But trying to start an argument over it, or
judging someone on the basis of one film, is about as pointless as trying to
debate which of the two Shinings was better [which, I'll admit, is about as
pointless as debating anything regarding theism. ]
> >'decent Christians'
>
> Ooooh. Is that sort of like "Painless Dentistry"?
Something like it. Painless Dentistry occasionally exists; decent
Christians occasionally exist. I've been online since '95; frequenting
religious discussions since '97ish, and have probably met /well/ over a
thousand Christians in the last year alone. I *still* don't have to bring
my second hand into the deal when counting off the number of 'decent'
Christians I've met. And the number of /actual/ Christians [ones who follow
/all/ the rules] is still at zero.
Then again, I probably shouldn't expect them to follow /all/ the rules.
But that's particularly offtopic, and [heh] 'heaven' forbid I actually
exhibit /knowledge/ in here. If you actually wanna discuss this [and I
doubt anyone does], contact me privately, or something.

to fit in with /any/ 'group' in America today. I've seen Letterman a total
of five times, and while I'll admit he's occasionally funny, it's just
boring. And as far as any of his 'competitors' go, I've never bothered to
watch Leno, and I've watched Conan O'Brien twice, because some friends of
mine were on those nights.
Southpark was interesting until I realised how repetitive it was getting.
Evil Dead 1-3 were /okay/ the first time through, but likely only because I
was in the military, and hadn't seen a film in months at the time.... The
last one was the best of the three, though.
Never seen any of the Halloween films; can't judge. Honestly don't blame
you on the Jay and Silent Bob thing, although I can't fault Kevin Smith at
all. He's doing what he wants to do, and succeeding.
As for everything else you mentioned, again, I don't have nearly enough in
common with the rest of society to fit in anywhere. I read books. Most of
the television I watch is documentaries. Most of the films I watch deal
with serial killers, and I only watch them to see what the writers got
wrong. Most of the books I end up reading are essentially reference
manuals on whatever I happen to be interested in at the time [a weird,
varied, rather frightening list].
And I'll admit, I have no taste whatsoever: I'll drop whatever I'm reading
for whatever Stephen King's just put out.
And as for "Meet the Feebles" -- what in /hell/ is it? If it's really bad,
I might know someone who'd be really interested in subjecting himself to it.

The difference between an "attack" and a challenge is often simply
perspective. If you're the one being challenged, human instinct
causes many to consider it an "attack".

If you can't handle someone disagreeing with your opinions, or more
correctly disagreeing with your basis for those opinions and/or your
conclusions, then it's generally recommended to keep your mouth shut
and sit quietly in the corner. To express an position openly is to
invite it to be challenged, period.
It sounds harsh, but hey, that's life; Hardhats required at all

great (actually I was with Becky the two first lines of her post, because I
had made same observations) then she started typing shit that basically
equalled:
A) She spoke for the entire newsgroup (which offended me right there) and
B) Her opinion = fact
I'm not here to start shit with either side of this, it was a bad post on
both sides. But I really get rankled when people tend to look at the
personalities more than the content.
Hell, this entire newsgroup can't even agree on Shock Treatment must less
another movie outside Rocky. (Though an interesting poll question might be
"Did you like both Shock and Nightmare, just one, or did you hate both.")

Sorry all, ignore that last post of mine, at least as relating to

I was going to confine my words to Gremlin and Hunter in a private email, after
waiting a bit so they didnt' think I was full of shit, but it appears I've
offended more than just those two people. I also offended myself.
This isnt' an excuse, nor is it a plea for pity, so please dont' offer any, I
don't deserve it. I've had some evil badness occur in my life recently,
private stuff, stuff for which I was emotionally unprepared. And that's saying
alot - I'm one of those REALLY TOUGH people, stuff doesn't usually touch me
like that. I can count the instances stuff has affected me on one hand. I
took some strong emotions out on my husband and Gremlin and Hunter (In private
email, mostly).
I am deeply ashamed of this. I ask your forgiveness as a group, and as
individuals. Some things I've said recently on and off the NG are completely
out of character, completely uncalled for, and did damage without doing any
good. I vented at the NG, and at Gremlin and Hunter (and Rodica, too!) for
stuff you guys had nothign at all to do with. I blew some things out of
proportion, which is something I always consciously try to prevent in myself
and others.
Please accept my apology, or if you can't, understand that this won't happen
again. When I realize I am wrong, I apologize. I'm big enough to do that.
Hopefully, I didn't do any irreparable damage. I will not always agree with
what you say and do, but I can at least keep my posts in proportion, and not as
insulting and rude as they have been the past couple of posts.
With all humility and sincerity,
