Yeah see...I think that should be one of those quotes that they use in the ads. We don't have to see this to know that it's dopey. But, every once in a while, a dumbass movie is in order. And although I usually rail against **** like this, I cling to the fact that, at least it is a (semi) original idea. Not a remake/based on toys/etc. Small consolation, but if people are going to toss dollar bills at a **** movie at least this one throws a curve to the studios and might tell them that it's ok to make something based on a non-existing property.Originally Posted by ucsdguy1

Has Cronenberg Written A "Sequel, Kinda" To THE FLY?

So when David Cronenberg talks about a possible sequel, antennae perk up. As he told Shock Till You Drop, when asked about the possible reboot, Cronenberg said, "'The Fly' is not exactly a remake, it's sort of a sequel, kinda. Yeah, that was a thing. I've written a script of that, and I don't know if that's going to really happen, but that has to do with Fox."
There is no question that if this film isn't made, that script needs to be published, like, yesterday. Or maybe made into a comic or something. Will it reference the events of THE FLY 2, or ignore the sequel altogether? Will it be more of a thematic sequel than a literal one? Will it continue the Brundle story (what there is of one, considering how the first film ended)? The possibilities are endless.
Perhaps it's too much of a good thing, or a fragile balance that is screwed up by another film. But for certain, Fox should look into it. THE FLY has a huge fanbase, much like John Carpenter's THE THING, and it's not dated at all as a film. Let's all puke on some donuts in anticipation!

c'mon. Apples and oranges. I see your point but there are exceptions to every rule. Godzilla is a longstanding character that has been sequelized often. It's established. Maybe it's selfish purposes that make it ok in my eyes but it's a far cry from making a movie about toy robots that turn into cars. And Gareth Edwards who made Monsters(which, if you have not seen it, you should) being in charge of the property gives me cause for optimism.
