As long as they don't remake Rocky Horror, I'm happy

Rocky Horror's survived- but almost 2 years ago fox did announce a remake directed by Stephan Elliott- but they never spoke of it again (even though fans did) so it's just seemed to have died. It was meant to be out februrary this year, then Halloween- looks like it's not happening now. But someday it probably will. I'd rather just see Richard O'Brien get his new rocky horror sequel stage show up and running followed by a movie- something original.

I don't get this last Line, Mash was a movie before it was a tv show, so technically the tv show was a remake.

yeah, but if you know Hollywood - nothing is sacred. We were talking about if they tried to do a movie of "Courtship of Eddie's Father" how that would be a movie, based on a tv show, based on a movie...

Remember, they made a remake of Annie, which means it was a movie, based on an earlier movie, based on a musical, based on a comic strip, based on a radio show, based on a poem

I know MASH was a movie before a tv show- but the film and show were very different things- a remake of the TV show would be the worst thing that could happen- but a movie remake would be kinda bad too.

Chicago was a bit complicated too- Roxie Hart was a movie too, it had been made into short black and white films several times, original play by a reporter covering similar events, then Bob Fosse made it into a musical show.
Then there was Little Shop of Horrors and a few other things too.
