"A woman"

Uhhh m8

[(Anonymous)]

0/10.

[(Anonymous)]

Mmmmmm nope

[(Anonymous)]

I am literally laughing out loud right now.

Oh, dear, I finished my popcorn!

[(Anonymous)]

TBH, she's not really helping herself by taking the role of a male transvestite.

[(Anonymous)]

Wasn't the original character male and going by he/his/him pronouns? Will Frank-n-Furter the character identify as female and be referred to as she now?

[sabotabby]

What if they made Rocky a woman too?

(Full disclosure: I love Laverne Cox but there is zero need to remake RHPS.)

[(Anonymous)]

Well.... yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but I don't care. they're removing a white straight cis male and replacing himm with a WOC. I don't care about whatever shitty unprogressive excuses people come up with to condemn this move, this is the right thing to do.

[gobbledigook]

Is this speculation or a thing that's actually being set in motion?

Uh... I guess if people feel that strongly about female representation enough to not be bothered by the implications of this casting choice, then who am I to judge. ┐(°_°)┌

[ibbity]

Well obviously a woman will have less homoeroticism when paired with a man than another man would...?

[(Anonymous)]

Why are they remaking this? The movie is TERRIBLE. The only way to enjoy it is in groups. Watch it on your own and it is just...bad.

[(Anonymous)]

Lea Delaria played Eddie/Dr. Scott in the 2001 Broadway revival, so I think seeing Laverne Cox in the role of Frank will be awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really. It's just trading one type of homoeroticism for another.

Personally I dislike the idea of remaking RHPS at all, but I'd be okay with a genderflipped remake as long as said remake had as much f/f as the original had m/m.

[(Anonymous)]

But... how are they going to do the 'Sweet Transvestite' song if Frank is played by a woman? I mean, unless they have her whip off the cloak to reveal that she's wearing a mankini or something, IDK...

[(Anonymous)]

??? There's plenty of productions that have had a female Frank and they've handled it in various ways. Sometimes drag king, sometimes a trans woman Frank, sometimes just the same in the fetish gear. I'm interested to see what they do, but a female Frank is hardly new.

[(Anonymous)]

They're remaking RHPS?

This is a thing that needs to not happen.

[(Anonymous)]

They've apparently said that they're using the original film script and that Frank remains male. That means, Laverne Cox is playing a man. Also, Richard O'Brian is not involved in any way shape or form because he doesn't own the rights to RHPS, just the stage production.

I think remaking RHPS is a utterly terrible idea and even if they announced Eddie Izzard was going to play Frank, I would be still firmly in the "nope!" category. I'd much rather they get their finger out of the their arse and release the recent filmed stage production on DVD (David Bedella was awesome as Frank).

I also feel the casting is a bit...not thought out. IDK, there's just something a bit off about a transgender woman playing a male transvestite. RHPS is not about sexuality or gender, it's about giving into your pleasure and desire so I think making it about gender & sexuality is not really in the spirit of it.

[(Anonymous)]

*looks round nervously*

I don't think Laverne Cox is a very good actress.

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I'm a little upset the role has gone to a woman.

Why not a transguy?

[(Anonymous)]

It was born a man and he still has his Y chromosome until he dies, so I don't see the problem. A tran playing a tran, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly... I don't see how this would work at all. Kudos to her if he wants to do it, but unless they're rewriting it heavily I don't see how it would work. It seems like it would come off WORSE.

Also echoing: RHPS is the kind of thing that shouldn't be remade.

[(Anonymous)]

This entire thread has made me realize how much I miss the concept of genderfuck.

Remaking RHPS seems like such a bad idea. It's the glorification of such a bygone era of queerness, wrapped up in a tongue-in-cheek homage to a bygone era of B-movie horror flicks. Who is the audience for this remake in the first place?

I'm hoping it's Laverne and her Twin alternating

[(Anonymous)]

M.Lamar is a talented singer and actor so why not ramp up the wierd sexual energy by having them both. Frankenfurter would be both man and woman!
