Thread: Another The Fly remake?

  1. Another The Fly remake?

    "Fox Searchlight has made a deal to remake The Fly, with feature newcomer Todd Lincoln writing the script and directing.

    The studio began setting up meetings with Lincoln for The Fly as they watched their Danny Boyle-directed zombie film 28 Days Later become a summer sleeper hit.

    Lincoln is an admirer of the 1958 original and David Cronenberg's 1986 redo and swears he won't fall into that fly-trap of regurgitating a well-worn plot. "I'm one of those comic book sci-fi fans who read the remake announcements and groan," he tells Variety. "This is certainly inspired by the original but it's a total re-imagining." What new things can we expect? "Why, in both films, did the fly never fly?"

    Why? Cronenberg film was great, and thats was enough for the theme.

  2. I wonder which remake will have the most computer generated graphics. This movie or the Body Snatchers remake...

  3. I'm thinking instead of a remake, they could try a new chapter?

  4. They did. I don't know how many people saw it, but there was a Fly 2 with Eric Stoltz, as the son of the original character.

    Trivia: it was co-written by Frank Darabont, and actually isn't that bad.
