‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ Gets 4K Remaster and New Logo for 50th Anniversary

‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ wants fans to do the time warp again for its 50th anniversary.

The musical cult classic’s half-century milestone will be celebrated with a new 4K Ultra remaster that will be released in theaters and on Blu-ray later this year.

Released in 1975, the movie stars Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as a newly engaged couple who seek help at the castle of gender-bending Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) when their car breaks down.

The 10-month remaster project was overseen by Walt Disney Restoration. “It’s a privilege to help preserve the legacy of a film that has meant so much to so many,” Restoration & Library Management director Kevin Schaeffer said in a statement Wednesday. “Bringing ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ to life in 4K allows us to honor its bold, genre-defying spirit and ensure that audiences – both longtime fans and first-time viewers – can experience it as it was originally intended, with stunning picture and sound.”

Producer Adler added, “When ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ was first released, no one thought it would be around very long, let alone…50 years. What began as a small, rebellious project has become a global celebration of individuality, community, and creative freedom. This anniversary is a tribute to the fans who kept it alive and kicking all these years.”

Best musical ever made.

Mono, stereo, 5.1, and Atmos audio would be so awesome for this so everyone can have their fill. Would be interesting to compare all the formats across the years on one format instead of having to jump from one to the other.

Looks like Disney IS turning around with live action stuff. A sight to see!

[starmike]

So, I hope we're getting both main versions, and all the audio variations.
The "Oz" version is a cute idea, but if we lose that I won't be upset.

It would be nice to get all the extras from previous releases.

It’s still Disney so I’m not too confident. At worst it’ll be a shiny, beautiful new 4K master with an Atmos mix and their 2020 reissue BD paired with it for extras. But hey, who knows. Maybe the tides are turning but I’m keeping my Fox BD for now.

I would HOPE that if they went through the trouble of a 10-month restoration, that they have people on the team that know exactly how to preserve it on disc. I HOPE. We'll see.

If you want to see how Disney is handling 20th 4K restorations/remasters, Planet of the Apes (1968) was done by Disney. As was Napolean Dynamite and Ever After. All three are wonderfully handled, Apes looks great with grain & proper fleshtones.

If Disney doesn't include the original theatrical audio they're Homophobic. Your move, Disney!

Well... it isn't all bad, is it?

I was Frank-N-Furter several times. Brad a few times. 'Twas fun.

"Not even half bad, really."

I ran a shadow cast between 95-97 and then I played Riff in live stage productions in 2005 and again in 09. Needless to say Rocky Horror has been a big part of my life since I was old enough to go in 89.
