Title: Cronenberg remaking his remake of The Fly?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on September 24, 2009, 03:23:08 AM: Quote from: Hollywood Reporter
David Cronenberg is returning to "The Fly."

The auteur will develop a reboot of the 1986 classic with Fox, the studio that released that film, directing and potentially writing the new pic.

The move marks an about-face for the Canadian director, who in the past has said he did not want to be involved on a remake of the film. Cronenberg did work on an opera version of "The Fly" that was staged first in Paris and then in Los Angeles.

Now I've seen it all. :lol

I know he had nothing to do with the writing or directing but.... Cronenberg had a cameo in Jason X for God's sake. I'm sure he knows what he is doing, though, but he won't be able to top the practical effects that the 86 Fly had. Practical > CGI

I know it's trash but I love Jason X anyways BTW :-*

Better yet, remake movies that haven't even been finished.

"Um, yeah, when you guys finish with the scene, take a break so we can get our version of it done. Kthx."

Scanners is the only Cronenberg film that I'd probably support a remake of.

I know, I'm still uneasy about the Yellow Submarine remake. Hopefully it doesn't suck, but it probably will. :'(

:lol I would be so into that. Something like two girls one cup, 1 guy 1 jar, snuff vids, etc.
