No cast or crew has yet been signed up, but Sky said that the new version would have its UK premiere on Sky Movies and be made available through Sky Player and Sky Anytime.
'Rocky Horror Picture Show' is the 1975 film of the stage musical, which appeared with the strapline "a different set of jaws", in reference to the hit movie that year. It stars a youthful Susan Sarandon, along with Tim Curry and Meatloaf and also features Christopher Biggins.
