Tim Curry was considered an on-screen legend who knew how to make your eyes pop, with Curry's best performances including IT, Legend, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, to name a few. Unfortunately, the British actor’s live-action roles were put on hiatus when he suffered a stroke in 2012 that left him in a wheelchair, leaving him only to do voiceover work. Over a decade later, some good news reveals Curry is returning to the big screen, and it's an upcoming horror film ! Tim Curry's most prominent horror credit is unquestionably the great musical horror comedy film The Rocky Horror Picture Show playing the “sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania” Frank-N-Furter.
You also can’t forget when he was cast in the miniseries IT as the clown-looking evil entity Pennywise. After almost 50 years since Rocky Horror Picture Show , and over a decade since Tim Curry's last live-action role in Burke & Hure , the actor/singer is returning to his horror roots in the slasher horror Stream. Writer, director and producer Michael Leavy told Variety what a dream it was to have the veteran actor as part of his project: This has been a really hard secret to keep and contain our excitement, especially for this long.
We are so happy and thrilled to bring Tim back to the movies and back to the big screen! His charm always radiates and shines through everything he does and we are so honored to have him a part of ‘Stream’! He is someone I have idolized personally growing up and it.
