Cronenberg Remaking The Remake of The Fly?

[dark_b]

Cronenberg is doing it? I'm on board. Anyone else I would be pretty "meh" about, but if he's coming back, hell yes!

As far as this bi.tching about remakes deal with Horror film's, it's a 20 year old film, people! I can understand some complaints on select films, but give me a break. You are complaining about all these remakes, but it's been a Horror film staple for 90 years!

God, I'm getting so tired of this crap.

but the news is that he is reamking hes own movie. the movie that was already a remake. this is sad.

WTF is this ****???

Instant fail because you know Jeff Goldblum ain't playing the scientist!

Stop remakes already, has the stupid writer's strike finished, that's why there's so many remakes it's disgusting.

 

[Doctor Jones]

What the hell Cronenberg? You're remaking your remake?

How is this suppose to be different? But who knows? Maybe he figured out a way to make it better. This is just some strange news.

God, I'm getting so tired of this crap.

Me too. These remakes ****ing suck.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Ehhh I don't see the point. They'll probably throw a load of CGI at it. But I think films like The Fly and The Thing wouldn't be the same with CGI.

 

[Motown Marvel]

cronenberg on cronenberg. almost gets me hard.

 

[Octoberist]

he has so many movies on his plate that i'm sure that The Fly will be in development hell for a while.

 

[Rac]

Any news on this?

Cronenberg probably wants to do a 3D version. I think this what happens in hollywood when no one will let you direct the films you want, so you have to "re-establish" himself all over again. It's sad. I can't imagine why a director would want to go back and redo a film he's already done before.

 

[some guy]

Why remake a remake? and If you're going to remake a remake, who better than the director of the original remake to remake his own remake into a brand new remake?

This is a joke, right? I mean, it sounds like a joke, so it must be a joke. This has to be a joke. Right? Right?



......


FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE, SOMEONE TELL ME THIS IS A JOKE!

 

[Bad Superman]

How about a re-imagining of the remake of the reboot, unrated director's cut with hints of a re-quel for the next The Fly film?

 

[Prison Mike]

The movie will star Zack Efron and Justin Bieber will do the soundtrack.

 

[Doctor Jones]

After watching Cronenberg and what he thinks and wants in interviews, I think he only wanted to do this if it gave him the opportunity to do something different. I think he may have an ace up his sleeve. He doesn't seem like the man who would just do this to do it. I wouldn't automatically dismiss it as a **** idea.

Cronenberg: No "Fly 2", Maybe "Eastern" Sequel


By Garth Franklin
Friday November 18th 2011 01:36PM

A little while back "A History of Violence" and "A Dangerous Method" director David Cronenberg revealed that he has working on a script for a part remake/mostly sequel to his 1986 body horror classic "The Fly".
The original followed a scientist (Jeff Goldblum) who accidently crosses his DNA with a humble housefly. The results are disturbing, disgusting and twisted in a way you'd expect from the director of "Dead Ringers," "Videodrome," "Naked Lunch" and "Scanners". Yet it was also one of his biggest crossover hits.
Cut to this week and Cronenberg tells The Playlist that he completed said script and submitted it to Fox but they are "not wanting to do the project" presently.
While that sequel may be out, a follow-up to his more recent 2007 crime thriller "Eastern Promises" is looking more likely. "Eastern Promises 2' might happen… there is a script that we all like, including Viggo [Mortensen], and Focus is interested" says the director.

David Cronenberg On Scrapped Projects

By Garth Franklin Sunday December 16th 2012 10:52PM
Two projects that filmmaker David Cronenberg was linked to and ultimately dropped out of over the past year was both a sequel to "Eastern Promises" and a remake of his own classic "The Fly."
Now, talking with The Playlist, Cronenberg has revealed that Fox shot down the project immediately after it was pitched - "it was a budget problem, basically."
It also wasn't a remake as reports had suggested. "It was more of a sequel or a sidebar. It was a meditation on fly-ness. None of the same characters or anything and, of course, with an understanding of modern technology. It was something I was very pleased with and it was a disappointment not to get it made" he says.
As for the scrapped 'Eastern' follow-up? "Focus Features couldn’t agree on a budget, basically. I thought it was a very ambitious script and I wanted to do it properly and they really felt the financial restraints of the world in general. It was a really budget disagreement. As far as I’m concerned I’m not involved anymore."
What was the storyline? "We would [have] see Nikolai go to Russia and there would be Russian elements and so on and so on. Steve Knight wrote a lovely script."
