But it is going to take more than the intrigue of Cox’s own backstory to make an entertaining movie.

The Orange is The New Black star became the first openly trans woman of color to have a leading role in a mainstream scripted television series and the first transgender person to receive a prime-time Emmy nomination in an acting category.

The iconic character Dr. Frank-N-Furter was originally played by actor Tim Curry in a Broadway play and in a film released in 1975.

Cox has appeared on such shows as Mindy Project and Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce.

Meanwhile, Laverne, who shot into the limelight for playing loveable inmate Sophia Burset in “Orange is the New Black“, is set for a busy few months as she’s also landed the starring role in a legal show pilot “Doubt” on CBS.

Celebrity Dirty Laundry shared that Cox is reportedly helping out the transgender community not to be afraid to be true to themselves and to the rest of the world. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is based on the 1973 musical stage production and is a humorous tribute to different genres of movies between the 1930s’ and 70s’. TV Line reported the The Rocky Horror Picture Show casting news Thursday. Rocky Horror is described as a handsome man who is created in order to fulfil Frank’s “pansexual desires”, as explained by Daily Mail.

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” follows the lives of couple Janet Weiss and Brad Majors who stumble upon a unusual castle and meet Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Even 40 years later, fans dress up and attend midnight showings of the film each fall, complete with audience participation.

Curry’s larger-than-life performance made the role both ridiculous and magnificent, and giving Frank-n-Furter a new identity is the first step on the path to disaster.
