Century Fox’s 1975 cult classic. It’s scheduled to shoot this winter for premiere in the fall. _The Rocky Horror Picture Show _follows sweethearts Janet Weiss (Victoria Justice) and Brad

Majors (Ryan McCartan), who stumble upon the bizarre abode of Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s (Laverne Cox), a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious alien mad scientist. She is holding an annual

Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of “Rocky Horror” – a fit, attractive man (Staz Nair) created solely to fulfill Frank’s desires. Lambert will play Eddie, the rock 

‘n’roll-loving ex-delivery boy who emerges at Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s on a motorcycle and crashes the party. The role was played by Meat Loaf in the original. “I grew up watching _Rocky Horror_

 but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision,” Lambert said. “_Rocky Horror_ always made me feel like it was OK to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul!  I

love that old time rock ‘n’ roll!” Lambert added, referencing the chorus from Eddie’s signature song _Hot Patootie — Bless My Soul._ (The actual line is “Hot Patootie, Bless my soul/I really

love that Rock and Roll!”) Singer-actor Lambert, who has been touring with iconic rock band Queen, has received a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and recurred on Fox’s
