Adler has initiated many 'firsts' in his career. In 1967 he produced tile first contemporary music industry film, 'Monterey Pop,' filmed at the historic Monterey Pop Festival, which he produced with John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas.' Considered by music historians as possibly the most significant event in pop music history, the first manifestation of the importance and influence of music to the present generations Monterey also introduced such talents as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.
As sole owner and chief executive officer of Ode Records, Adler personally produces every artist on the label and oversees every aspect of the musical careers of such artists as Carole King and Cheech and Chong.
As executive producer of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW,' Lou Adler presents his first feature film offering since his Production of Robert Altman's 'Brewster McCloud' for MGM. His only prior association with theatre was as one of six backers for Hillard Elkin's short-lived Production of Gore Vidal's 'An Evening with Richard Nixon.'
The original stage version of The Rocky Horror Show' was produced by Michael White, one of London's most successful and experienced theatrical producers with over ninety shows to his credit in twelve years, including the London production of 'Sleuth, 'The Doll's House,' 'Oh! Calcutta' and Two Gentlemen of Verona.' On the opening night of The Rocky Horror Show,' Michael White already had six other major productions running in the West End.
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW marks White's first screen credit as producer, but together with the film's Associate Producer John Goldstone his motion picture interests have included The Final programme' and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.'
Filming of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW began in October, 1974, at Bray Studios, England's famous House of Horror,' and at a 19th century chateau which served once as the wartime refuge of General Charles DeGaulle.
Both the London and American productions of The Rocky Horror Show' were directed by Jirn Sharman, who makes his motion picture directorial debut with THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.' 'All during the theatre version there was a movie it the back of my or mind' he says. Being surrounded by film mythology, the theatre version was very filmatic - as the film is very theatrical, although I've tried to avoid making a sort of filmed stage play. The show treads a thin line between homage and parody. I love the old horror films quite passionately, but THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW has its own story and can hold its own whether you are a horror fan or not.'
Born and raised in Australia, Sharman trained there with the State Drama Theatre and first made his name with a variety of experimental productions before being recruited as director of 'Hair' in Sydney and Tokyo, until 'Jesus Christ Superstar' brought him to London and 'Rocky.'
The film version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show' retains many Members of the original Theatre Upstairs company. Repeating the roles they originally created in the theatre are Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff), Patricia Quinn (Magenta), Little Nell (Columbia) and Jonathan Adams (who played the Narrator on stage and now appears as Dr. Scott).
Making his screen debut in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW' is the sensational star of the London, Los Angeles and Broadway versions of the play, Tim Curry, in the controversial role of the transvestite scientist from outer space, Dr. Frank N Furter.
A serious student of drama who has played in Shakespearean Productions, the twenty-eight-year-old Curry does not in the least mind being associated with such a sexually bizarre character. 'He has a very odd kind of appeal, particularly to women,' says Curry. 'He is certainly not corrupting, even to people outside the big cities. He can go from doing something really outrageous and horrific to being deeply moving.'
The Character of Frank N Furter remains essentially intact in its transition from stage to screen. 'A lot has happened to me and the character in a very short period of time,' says Curry, 'but basically Frank N Furter is the same character that first set sequined high heels on stage just eighteen months ago.'
In THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW' Transylvania is the name of a galaxy whose space agents assigned to planet Earth have gathered together for their annual Transylvanian Convention. Sets reminiscent of the traditional foreboding Gothic castle yet combining a touch of Modern Bizarre' were designed by Brian Thomson. An ex-architect who has what he describes as a 'healthy contempt' for the idea that scenery is just something in front of which actors act, Thomson has teamed with director Jim Sharman on nine productions including the original stage Presentation of ' The Rocky Horror Show.'
The film also retains its original costume designer, Sue Blane, whose Merry Widow corsets, garter belts and half tuxedos adorn the ghoulish group. The outlandish makeup for Tim Curry and the Transylvanians was designed by Pierre Laroche famed makeup artist of stars and celebrities like both Mick and Bianca Jagger.
Lou Adler attributes the shows quick Production as a film (usually a play must run at least year on Broadway before a film production is begun) to the fact that it opened in Los Angeles, where studio executives could witness the success of the show and easily see its potential.
A Lou Adler/Michael White musical Production for 20th Century Fox, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW' was produced by Michael White and directed by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien. Lou Adler is the executive producer. Starring Tirn Curry, the film is a screen version of the award-winning hit stage musical with book, music and lyrics by Richard O'Brien.Thank you very much for shopping with us!
