Don't you love remakes? David Cronenberg's remake of The Fly, back in 1986, was wonderful, eclipsing the original Vincent Price vehicle with it's incredibly nasty effects and the harnessed power of Jeff Goldblum. Now, 20 years later, old Cronie is set to do it all over again - after Cosmopolis and Robert Ludlum's The Matarese Circle, that is. Fox are behind it, with The Hollywood Reporter suggesting that today's visual technology is probably the reason for it (I hope they don't consider 3-D).
I'm not sure anyone could better Brundlefly, no matter how big their processing unit. But hey, at least Rob Zombie's not doing it. After all, he only did Halloween so no-one else could ruin it.
