Lets do the Time Warp again? Do you remember the dance steps? ALL the lyrics? Perhaps "the" cult classic movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, is being remade by MTV.

The remake will probably be based on the same screenplay as the original, Variety reports. However, and this may be the downer, they may decide to add some new music. Do they dare mess with success?
