"I gave 250 percent, and I hope people like what we came up with," said the Orange is the New Black star. 

Laverne Cox is moving from the drama-filled prison cells of Litchfield Penitentiary to a castle of musical madness this Halloween for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and she hopes fans are excited.

"People can be very challenging and critical, but I put everything I had into this," Cox told Entertainment Tonight at the Billboard Music Awards. "I gave 250 percent, and I hope people like what we came up with."

Fans have not been too happy with Fox's Rocky Horror remake. Since the network released the trailer of the Halloween special, the video has received over 1.5 million views, with more dislikes than likes and hundreds of negative comments.

Cox recognizes how meaningful this cult classic is to fans. "For 41 years, people have been going to midnight showings and dressing up, and there's been shadow casts all over the world. It means so much to so many people," she told ET.

Outside of the remake, Cox continues to break ground for transgender actors. She will play a series regular in a new CBS drama, Doubt, the first trangender actress to have such a role on a network show.
