    Cronenberg remakes the fly....again

    http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=18492

    now ive said before I'm not a remake hater. Someone said here before that give me an "original" idea and I can name about 15 movies where its been done before. Very true statement I think. Some remakes suck, some don't. Some don't need to happen....and some really do. But this one? Its just got me scratching my head. Now the original director having something to do with the remake isn't always a bad idea.

    But the first time Cronenberg made this IT WAS A REMAKE. I mean granted you could go with "reimagining" considering it was leaps and bounds in the differences to the original, and I guess since you went in a different direction with the first remake he could do that again. Just because Cronenberg is doing it again doesn't mean it'll be the same. He could go in a completely different direction. But I can't help but think the special effects won't even begin to touch the first remakes effects. That in itsself makes me believe it won't be as good as his first go round with it. They'll CG it up probably.

    I like Cronenberg a great deal. If he thinks there's something new to be done, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Nice way of putting it. I give everything he does a shot.

    Hitchcock remade one of his own films, so this isn't a crazy idea.

    Agreed.

    The Fly was going to be remade, there is no doubt about it. So the fact that Cronenberg is going to be helming the remake himself doesn't seem that strange and leaves me optimistic.

    With all the media coverage for a new pandemic seemingly every week, the themes (though cancer is very much passe by today's viral standards) from his Fly are more relevant now than '86.

    Not that big a fan of the original or the remake.

    I'll see it..not that thrilled though.
