The Curse of the Fly - Day

2:38PM - Cronenberg talks about "Fly" 200?

I found an interesting article in which Cronenberg shares his opinion about the new "Fly" remake.

Here is the link: http://horror.about.com/b/a/204954.htm

I'll paste the article in case the link doesn't work.

Cronenberg Thinks ‘Fly’ 2006 Wings Should Be Clipped

When I interviewed David Cronenberg yesterday (for A History of Violence, not a horror movie) there was a bit of downtime while the crew was getting the cameras ready to roll, so I took the moment to let him know about our Fly and Fly II sweepstakes and asked him the same question I’ve asked all of you: “Who should star in the upcoming 2006 remake?” Cronenberg very matter-of-factly said, “It don’t think it should be remade. So there’s your answer: No one.” (Photo of me and Cronenberg courtesy of StarLens.com)

Far be it from me to point out to the preeminent auteur that his own 1986 version of The Fly was a remake (of a 1958 film starring David Hedison and Vincent Price). And besides, I have to agree with him… Cronenberg’s The Fly is really the ultimate telling of the terrifying tale of technology gone terribly wrong.

Perhaps Cronenberg will get his wish. Not much has happened since the new Fly remake was announced two years ago by Fox Searchlight. Written and to be directed by Todd Lincoln (maker of three obscure short films), it seems this project might just be dead on the windowsill despite the projected 2006 release date.

What do you think?
I believe that Cronenberg is a genious and that his remake is a masterpiece. I think that the movie is perfect as it is but I'd really love to see what the new writer and director has to give us (if he actually gets the chance). Maybe it's just me but this new movie could make more people appreciate the power of this story.
But I have a strange feeling that the movie might not be made after all. It has been at least 3 years since the announcement....
