The show also saw star turns from Jack Nicholson, Nicole Scherzinger, Billy Idol, Danny Devito, Ricky Lake, Evan Rachel Wood, Jason Segel and "Lost"'s Jorge Garcia.

Speaking before the event, producer Lou Adler, who worked on the original film, admitted McMahon wasn't his first choice to play Frank-N-Furter - he wanted Cher to tackle the role. He says, "I've always envisioned Cher as Frank-N-Furter. But she's working in Las Vegas."

Studios Vye The Rights to Make The Movie Based on Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'

Studios Vye The Rights to Make The Movie Based on Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'

Michael Jackson keeps becoming inspiration even after he passed away. A movie is being fashioned around his groundbreaking hit song "Thriller" and has been shopped around over the last few weeks by Real Effects Entertainment, Deadline Hollywood reports.

A number of studios like Fox 2000, Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment are said vying the rights to make the movie, with GK Films allegedly the frontrunner to win the bidding war. The movie has Kenny Ortega, who made Jackson's documentary "This Is It", attached to serve behind the lens and reportedly will be budgeted at under $50 million.

Plot details of "Thriller" are not known yet but it may deal with the song's folklore, which involves horror actor Vincent Price and the town he grew up in.

Additionally, Deadline says Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock are looking to make a movie revolving around Jackson's early years, while Cirque du Soleil are in talks to do two live shows based on the late singer's music.

'Merchant of Venice' Earns a Million in a Week

Al Pacino's new Broadway production of Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" is already earning $1 million (GBP666,670) a week in box office takings. The Oscar winner kicked off the New York revival of the classic play at the Broadhurst Theatre last week on October 19, and the money is already rolling in after just seven preview performances - with thousands snapping up tickets costing up to $140 (GBP93) each.

The production notched up first week takings of $1,060,015 (GBP706,680), unprecedented figures for a non-musical, reports Daily Variety.

It's not the first time Pacino has played Shakespeare's Shylock in New York - he headlined a successful open air run in Central Park last summer.

Government Persuades Warner Bros to Film 'The Hobbit'

Government Persuades Warner Bros to Film 'The Hobbit'

"The Hobbit" is not going anywhere. After the Unions boycott which was then followed by Warner Bros' threat to move the production offshore, the production of the movie will take place in New Zealand as planned since the beginning. The latest deal is reached after high-level local government officials and co-producer/distributor Warner Bros had face-to-face negotiations, local broadcast outlet TVNZ reports.

"I'm delighted we have achieved this result," New Zealand prime minister John Key states on Wednesday, October 27 during a news conference in Wellington. "Making the two movies here will not only safeguard work for thousands of New Zealanders, but will also allow us to follow the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in once again promoting New Zealand on the world stage."

As part of the deal, Key says the government will introduce new legislation on Thursday to clarify the difference between an employee and a contractor, adding that the change would affect only the film industry. Moreover, the country would offset $10 million of Warner's marketing costs as the government agreed to a joint venture with the studio to promote New Zealand "on the world stage," New York Times reports. "The impact of this will mean an additional rebate for 'The Hobbit' movies of up to $7.5 million per picture, subject to the success of the movie," Key further reveals.

Two parts of "The Hobbit" will be shot back to back in 3-D starting February 2011. Peter Jackson has signed up to direct while a number of actors have been cast with Martin Freeman taking the lead role of Bilbo Baggins. The first movie is due December 2012 and "The Hobbit 2" is expected to come out a year later.
