Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

The Fly

9/24/09 - David Cronenberg is now developing another reboot, a new cinematic version of The Fly.  It seems that Cronenberg wants to return to the movie that helped establish his career, but this time with 21st-century visual effects and technology, according to The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz blog.  The auteur will develop a reboot of the 1986 classic with Fox, the studio that released that film, directing and potentially writing the new pic.  The 1986 title, itself a remake of Kurt Neumann's 1958 sci-fi classic, starred Jeff Goldblum and became a huge hit for Fox, earning $40 million and turning into a phenomenon. It centered on Seth Brundle (Goldblum), an eccentric scientist who, after an experiment with teleportation goes awry, is transformed into a fly. Geena Davis starred as Goldblum's love interest and partner, Veronica.
