But with Rocky Horror, "the idea was to reimagine it because we were doing a 40th year tribute. We were paying homage after 40 years of it being a hit. When you're doing a revival, you're only doing a revival because the original was a smash hit—so you don't want to throw the baby completely out with the bath water."
Take Laverne Cox's Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played in the original movie by Tim Curry. In this version, Frank is a trans woman. "He's famous for his corset. When you think Tim Curry [in RHPS] you think corset, fishnets," Long says. "So I had to imagine a full corset, because remember our Dr. Frank-N-Furter has breasts—she's a woman—so that corset has to cover. Tim's barely kept his middle covered, and he definitely wore fishnets."
