Dave during the original FLY fiming

A remake to Cronenberg's THE FLY is pretty much inevitable folks, and I'll go one step further in predicting it'll be in 3D. And guess who's interested in writing and directing?

According The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz Blog, David Cronenberg himself is considering remaking his own remake for Fox even though he had previously sworn off any involvement in it, just as for his original's sequel which ruined Eric Stoltz's career for a while.

The director's interest probably stems from his collaboration with the recent "opera" version of the story, and new technological filmmaking possibilities. Rest assured though, nothing's inked yet and the great man is still working his way toward THE MATARESE CIRCLE.

Extra Tidbit: Who'd be good to replace Goldblum? I say Zachary Quinto. Heores probably won't be getting a 5th season anyway...

Don't really get the hate for this one
1. This is David Cronenberg we're talking about, it's not like he's some young hotshot who thinks he has what it takes to outdo the original.

2. He's definitely grown as a director over the past decade, if he thinks he can make a better version of his own movie then why shouldn't we let him try?

I'm onto something big. What, his cock?
What the hell?! The 1986 Fly is a classic body-horror movie, why remake it? And with the same director - crazy!

Cronenberg remaking his own remake after remaking it as an opera? Maybe he should just lay off of it for a while.

Are you referring to the grave of having to resort to acting on Law and Order?

What a stupid idea. If they were really smart, they'd remake Dead Ringers in 3D starring Shia LaBeauf. Idiots...

I'm interested to see how he would re-twist a story he's already twisted.
