A few episodes from Johnny Bravo cartoon are based on horror movies.This for example,when johnny's head will get the chest of a fly and hes body the head of a fly.And there are some Twilight Zone related episodes as well.

It will be amazing to see what Cronenberg can do with a modern vision of this "classic".

Is this project still alive because I keep seeing articles about new David Cronenberg projects but no mention of this. The 1986 film is quite possibly one of the most gruelling cinematic experiences ever, so it will have to go some to equal it.

I hope they can make this movie even GROSSER than the original - if not, I don't think I'll be watching it.

i spoke to david cronemberg about this remake. he said it was going to be basically the same movie he already did, but shot from the point of view of the poor fly. innocent victim of insane humanity.

he's also wondering about a spinoff where main character is geena davis' bellbutton

Although i am not a lover of Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis acting this film seemed a perfect slot for the two of them.
I liked this film and cant see a remake making much of a dent to the original.......

I'd like to see Cronenberg return to the origional script, rather than remake his remake, actually remake the origional again... Big smile

This is typical stupid Hollywood bullshit. Rehash a movie that was a good remake of a movie, but there isn't a script on it yet or even have any info on what MIGHT happened. I am getting so fucking sick of Hollywood rehashing movies that worked the first time. With so many ideas floating around, Hollywood can't take a chance on something new?!?!

I'm going to start reading books more now.

I know they could do a lot with this with the special effects but they shouldn't be remaking it. Hollywood needs to come up with some new and original ideas.

At least Cronenberg might be directing... so I have more hope for this re-remake than I did at first.

Angry Ok, so its a re-remake?!?! WTF! So now just rehashing great movies is not enought, now its time to remake remakes?!?! Is Hollywood totally insane! The '86 FLY was great, why rehash it-and by the same guy that directed the the remake. What the hell? Some one mentioned it that NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD was going to be re-rehashed, which is yet ANOTHER stupid idea. The remake was one of the few remake that was actually good. Now a re-rehash but in 3-D I bet. Now THE FLY? Just move on to a new chapter: Some one finds the Grundle notes and attempts to "succeed where Grundle failed", shit happens, add the famous line "a fly must have entered the chamber some how." But instead of having all hell break loose in a private lab, have it happen in public. Was that so fucking hard Hollywood? Now send me my check for $5 mil and give me credit on the movie. I'm not greedy.

Although Im thrilled that a remake is actually gonna be done by its original director and not someone who who butcher the concept. And I know from 1986 special effects are amazing and unbelievable. No one and I mean no one could bring the character of the Scientist to life like Jeff Goldblum did, he truly does make you feel and sympathize. Gina Davis and Jeff Goldblum had a connection which made this movie. If you really disagree watch the end of the fly right now and tell me that can be remade. Some movies are just classics and should be left that way. Stare

yeah its pretty pathetic. they re re re remaking NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. someone needs to make a new law that states ur only limited to one remake per at lest 50 years of one franchise.
