Los Angeles: Hit 1975 musical comedy horror film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" will reportedly be remade into a television event by FOX network.

The reboot of the classic will, however, not be live, reported Entertainment Weekly.

The two-hour event will be directed, executive produced, and choreographed by Kenny Ortega (Xanadu, High School Musical) with original film producer Lou Adler as well as Gail Berman also on board.

There is no new writer credited, however, since Fox plans to stick to the text of the original 1973 play by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien. The play was adapted for the big screen in 1975.
