Dan and Sara and I came up with:

Frank-N-Furter = Donald Trump
Brad = JM J Bullock
Janet = Tammy Faye Baker
Riff Raff = Zach Braff
Magenta = Bea Arthur
Rocky = Danny Bonaduce
Columbia = Raven Symone
Dr. Von Scot = Rip Taylor
Eddie/Meatloaf = Pru$$ian Blue

Pick your own cast.

As originated by those two over here. We're still discussing the consequences, ie. Trump going down on Bullock.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

I like how I get pulled into this; I was an innocent bystander!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

Magenta was Kirstie Alley! Bea Arthur was the narrator.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

One big flaw is that Bonaduce has no lines.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

He has songs! Remember "Sword of Damacles"?

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

You are so on crack. He has a whole song to himself! ("Sword of Damocles.") (XPOST DAMMIT)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

Also he sings a verse in "Rose Tint My World."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

At least you can spell, even if you are slow.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

That's right!

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

Also, is it going to be even remotely plausible that Zack Braff outwits and destroys the Donald?

I don't think so.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

Zach Braff is the glaring flaw in this casting, true. I was trying to ignore that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

Does the Kirstie Alley/Zach Braff elbow sex make up for that plot hole?

Probably not.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

At any rate, I defy you guys to come up with a better casting choice whose name has the same cadence as "Riff Raff" (and also rhymes).

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

I thought we had agreed that Kirstie Alley was the narrator. This no longer makes any sense!

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

Screw that; clearly you should just put Michael Douglas in the role. (xpost)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

It really is sad that ODB passed away, because Big Baby Jesus as Riff Raff has a ring of truth to it.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

At any rate, I defy you guys to come up with a better casting choice whose name has the same cadence as "Riff Raff" (and also rhymes).

nick sylvester?

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

Okay so that fails both criteria yet is still awesome.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh, what if Theodore Dalrymple plays Dr. Von Scot?

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Where does Jessica Simpson fit in to this? Because she should.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

Eddie.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, she could fit inside Eddie.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

Perfect. Either way.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

I'm imagining how, exactly, JS would fit inside PB.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

Shocker.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

It frightened me how quickly and easily that came to mind. I mean, actually picturing Squidward in fishnets - there is something wrong with me.

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, my kids are never allowed to watch Spongebob again.

I started trying to cast the Yacht Rocky Horror Picture Show with McDonald, Loggins, Steely Dan and etc. But it was too dark. Too dark altogether. Michael McDonald in fishnets...*shudder*

This is not going to end well, is it?

― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 16:26 (seventeen years ago)

srsly:

Two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.

Helmer and casting decisions have yet to be announced.
