‘The Fly: The Ultimate Collection’ is Coming to Blu-ray!

Published

on

No need to be afraid any longer my friends because Australia’s Via Vision Entertainment is releasing every film in The Fly series on one fantastic 5-disc Blu-ray set dubbed The Fly: The Ultimate Collection! The set is planned for a March 8th release.

This limited edition includes the original 1958 The Fly, Return of the Fly (1959), Curse of The Fly (1965), the 30th anniversary special edition of David Cronenberg’s The Fly (1986) and The Fly II – Special Edition (1989). 

This 1080p set will contain five discs and an array of must have supplementary materials for horror and sci-fi collectors and fans of the franchise. Some of these include the documentaries Fear of the Flesh, The Brundle Museum of Natural History, The Fly Papers, deleted scenes, extended scenes, audio commentary by director Chris Walas, alternate ending, film tests and much more. This is a worldwide premiere on Blu-ray for The Fly II and Curse of The Fly and the first time every film in the franchise has been packaged together on high definition.

Uh, yes please! Finally The Fly II and Curse of the Fly are coming to Blu-ray. This is cause for celebration the world over!

There’s no better company than Via Vision to handle this release either. They have a knack for putting out great box sets. I’ve previously written about their Ray Bradbury, Psycho, Evil Dead and Amittville Horror box sets and each one of those is a must-own. And if you’re worried about this being an Australian release, don’t. I can’t confirm this yet but in the past the majority of their releases have been region free so there’s a good chance this one is too.

The Fly: The Ultimate Collection is available for pre-order from JB Hi-Fi.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
