Continuing the trend of cult classic revivals, Fox has decided to cash in on the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Fox is planning to make a new TV movie of the beloved musical, but it won't be filmed live, as NBC's recent TV musicals have been. EW reports that Lou Adler, the original film's producer, will be involved in the production, which will "stick to the text of the original 1973 play."
