I think it's worth it. The Cronenberg version was quite good.

[Kenn Hoekstra]

Right...but because the Cronenberg version was good and nothing about the Goldblum remake is "dated," why remake it? I can give you a list of 100 movies that should be remade, but this isn't one of them.

Buzz is (no pun intended) that this is going to be a much more Spiderman-like take on the Fly Story. While it will still have the tragic ending and the decent into madness, along the way, the half man half fly will try to use his powers for good, but eventually he can't defeat the ultimate enemy. Himself.


By the way. I made that up. Could you please spread it around as if it's "The Buzz." I've always wanted to start the buzz.

So I guess they're going through with it despite the failure of Head Of State. Risky move but I'm glad for Lil Bow Wow who should nab get the younger audience.
