Fox is Remaking ‘The Fly’ Again; Here’s Who May Direct
Just under 30 years after the original black & white film was released, David Cronenberg directed one of the greatest horror remakes of all time, unleashing his practical effects-heavy version of The Fly in 1986. Thirty years after Cronenberg’s masterful remake, another is on the way.
Deadline is reporting tonight that J.D. Dillard (Blumhouse’s Sleight) is in negotiations to direct a second remake of The Fly for Fox. He would also co-write the script with Alex Theurer.
No details are available, but we can assume the story will again center on a man who begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after an experiment goes horribly wrong.
This isn’t the first time Fox has attempted to re-animate The Fly. In 2012, David Cronenberg revealed that he pitched a reboot they were interested in, but that never came to fruition.
More as we learn it.
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
