Get ready to live-tweet: Fox is working on a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, set for this fall, and Victoria Justice is set to star as naive Janet Weiss, a role originated by Susan Sarandon. Kenny Ortega, the man behind High School Musical, is working on the sure-to-be-fun remake.
Rocky Horror is a cult classic on college campuses and often shows during midnight screenings at theaters across the country. And the musical is a major departure from Nickelodeon: She and a co-star spend much of the plot walking around in their underwear, and that's the least scandalous thing that happens on screen. But the role will let her show her singing and dancing chops, and the rest of the cast looks just as talented.
The cast has already started the love-fest on Twitter. Can fall come now, please?
