If MTV are going down the "cast it full of MTV popstars" route then....then.....I really don't know what to say.

i don't think there's a single thing you could change about it that wouldn't make it worse.
this could be so unbelievably bad.

in this instance they'll doubtless give artists songs based on who they think will help sell the soundtrack, for example.
remaking The Philadelphia Story as High Society and turning it into a musical worked, but i can't immediately think of any other remakes of musicals. in the theatre there are revivals, and obviously shows are re-made every night anyway in a sense (and done by different casts in different countries and different languages... but for example when Avenue Q came to London they worked for months on just tiny updates and local changes - months just to adjust a word here and there).
it's a tall order for this to be anything other than a hopelessly lame, misjudged, inappropriate horid commercial cash-in.

I've never liked the Rocky Horror Show, it's just boring. Bat Boy is far superior and much funnier. | |

And yet for some reason we're more kindly disposed toward sequels.
Rocky Horror has brilliant songs, its the only thing that makes me feel even slightly affectionate toward it.
Though I far preferred the sequel, an entire town being a reality TV set seems quite ahead of its time in retrospect. | |
