Well, I now google this remake, and it is starring a British actor Russell Brand (he came out in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall). I never saw it so I don't know about him, but I did goggle him too, and he looks like he could play the part. Hes got a sort of look about himself.
However, I still think there is just no way to replace Tim Curry. Now-a-days when I watch it, I laugh so hard watching him do Sweet Transvestite. I laugh at him throughout most of the movie. I always wondered what he thinks of himself when he watches himself on it. LOL..... It is truly a classic...I am so sad to hear that greedy hands are going to attempt to remake it.
Just curious what do you think is an appropiate age? I am not even sure what age I was when I first saw. I think I was 16/17. I do know that at 17, I was watching it a few times a month at the midnight movies. Oh..how I love it! I never did the acting thing on the stage in front on the movie, I did however make sure I went in with all necessary supplies, (water guns, rice, newspapers, lighters,toilet paper, toast, etc...) LOL...the memories. The last time I saw it in the movies, was about 14 yrs ago, when I moved to Charlotte. There was this place on Independence, which showed it, and you could have dinner (munchies & beer) and watch it. It was great! Since than I have only seen it on tv, or on dvd.
I was probably 16.
My son (now 16 himself) actually first saw the RHPS video when he was very young... about 4. It was a HEAVILY edited version though. I edited a recorded copy to make it appropriate. He called it "The Lip Movie" and watched it over and over. He was doing the Time Warp with me at age 4 and of course now he's seen the unedited version... my 10 year old has not seen more than Youtube song clips though.
