According to Deadline, Tim Curry, who plays Narrator in the remake, got asked if he gives the Fox version his “unconditional endorsement. Curry played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the original version.
“I do indeed,” he responded. He said he remembers “quite a lot” about making the original, it being his first movie role. “I didn’t miss much.” He said he offered himself to play Dr. Scott in the remake “because I was already in a wheelchair, but they thought Narrator was a better fit and I enjoyed it a lot.”
