OK. Get this - a remake of a remake. By the first remake’s director? Cronenberg is apparently remaking/reimagining The Fly. ![]() http://www.aintitcool.com/node/42466 |

The Fly doesn't need a remake....instead Cronenberg could take a look at Scanners, for example. That could have been a classic with a better script and a lead actor who could act. |

Scanners was terrible in every way imaginable. |

The special effects were shocking (in a good way) and groundbreaking for 1981. Err....it had a good poster too. |

It's one of my all-time favourite films. It made a huge impact on me. The plot is pretty good, and the special effects blew me away. In fact, I want to watch it again right now. Sadly, if I did then I'd probably realise the version in my head is much better than the real thing ![]() |

Great film a a poor lead actor. Apart from that it was good. The effects were great for the time. And everyone talked about the exploding head scene. |

I watched it not too long ago with similar reservations and your concerns are not unfounded. The acting was worse than I remembered and there are serious plot holes. The effects are still great though - instant varicose veins! |

A couple of years ago, a film came out called 'Death at a Funeral'. Clicky. It was very funny, as it was directed by Frank Oz, had Wash/Pirate Steve in it, and Daisy Donovan now I think about it. Now, it's been remade for the US - Clicky. Neil LaBute's directing this time, and let's face it, he's not known for his comedic chops. Pointless remake? Oh yes. |

I quite liked the fly remake. However I've not seen it for probably 20 years so not sure how I would rate it now. |

Did they ever do a remake of 'Debbie Does Dallas'? |

Wasn't Stephen Fry meant to be rewriting Dambusters? |

Peter Jackson is remaking Dambusters with Fry doing the script. |
