David Duchovny wants more “alien-oriented conspiracy”

22 October 2009 11:09 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Californication star David Duchovny has had a lukewarm relationship with the box office. His last feature, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, made a lackluster $10 million on its opening weekend and went on to make a mesely $68.1 million worldwide. If you ask Duchovny, who played the alien-loving Agent Mulder, what went wrong, he might tell you it was because the story was away from the heart of the popular Fox show. You know, cigerett smoking man and stuff?

“As far as the X-Files movie I’d like to do next, if we get a chance to do it, would be a return to the heart and soul of the mythology, which is the alien-oriented conspiracy,” Duchovny said. ” I think it’s natural for The X-Files to have another movie in 2012, so we’ll see if we get to do it.”

Fred Dekker Revisits The Night of the Creeps!

16 October 2009 7:44 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The most elusive cult creeper ever made finally makes its way to DVD and Blu-ray October 27th!

Night of the Creeps has become one of the most sought after late night cult creepers ever made. After hitting the video store circuit in the mid-80s on VHS tape (and VHS alone), the film quickly disappeared. It would later crawl out from late night cable television on that rare occasion, like some long dormant creature hungry for flesh. It's never been re-released on any medium, and has only made a handful of appearances at the local midnight theater. Despite that fact, Fred Dekker's amazing 1986 ode to aliens, zombies, and high school romps has developed a rabid following over the years. Revolving around squirmy black leeches that possess a town full of teenagers and treats them like puppets on prom night, it's a hard film to shake. And the fact that »

Fall Frights: The Fly (1986; DVD Review)

6 October 2009 6:05 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.

“Be afraid. Be very afraid.”

This was the tag line for the 1986 film, The Fly. This was also the first theatrical film to have its broadcast premiere on Fox. To be honest, it’s not very often that I find a film so remarkably made that I can go back and watch it years later and still have a great time doing so, especially when the film is a remake and I don’t usually like remakes. However, when it comes to David Cronenberg's 1986 film The Fly, not only do I still love this film, but I honestly believe that The Fly is the best film ever made. No, let me rephrase that. The Fly Is the best film ever made period. »

Exactly what the world needs: ‘Showgirls 2′

6 October 2009 4:56 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Apparently there’s a sequel to Showgirls in the works and the man behind the next round of gyrating breastisis is writer/director Marc Vorlander.

Entitled Showgirls: Story of Hope <snicker>, the story will revolve around model/actress Rena Riffel (Trasharella, small role in Showgirls, I think she’s the one doing the “lesbian dance” with Berkley) whose brother dies from a bad dose of cocaine. The stripper goes to Frankfurt to exact revenge on those dealers responsible. <snicker>

The film currently has a $25 million budget with two unnamed big shot Hollywood producers already on board.

The original Showgirls from hornball Paul Verhoeven was released in 1995 and make a lackluster $20 million. (It cost them $45 million to make it.) The film is easily the most popular Nc-17 release ever, ever. Partly because people (not me, I’m classy) wanted to see Jesse Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) work the pole. It also starred Gina Gershon. »

Discuss: What's Your Favorite Remake?

2 October 2009 10:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

We often bash the neverending flurry of remakes, and frankly, it's hard not to. Nestled in between the possible gems are many projects that wrench the magic out of the original they're supposed to love. But luckily (especially in this remake-laden movie world) they're not all bad. In fact, sometimes they can be downright delightful, thought-provoking, or even awe-inspiring.

One of the top contenders, of course, is The Fly. The 1958 version was wildly popular and loved, yet David Cronenberg was able to sweep in and concoct a film that people rave about to this day. It remains one of the only movies able to rip through my adoration of the original and find a secure spot on the appreciation shelf. Beyond that, there are further remake chills with memorable projects like Dawn of the Dead and Cape Fear, plus a bunch of more mainstream-friendly, and beloved, remakes. Ocean's 11, anyone? »

The Good, The Bad And The Wtf: Think, The Fly! Think!

28 September 2009 1:02 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

This week's edition has quite a bit of trailers in them, most notably Michael Bay's company Platinum Dunes successfully bungling another slasher franchise by making the same dumb movie but with that pretty Bayesque glisten. If you're real nice, we'll even show you a trailer for a vampire movie that does Not have a brooding emotional vampire in it.

The Good

• These vampires just won't stop coming. Here's a teaser trailer for the horror film Stake Land, directed by Mulberry Street helmer Jim Mickle and starring Danielle Harris. Nothing to get too excited about, but it does have a nice aesthetic to it, at least in the teaser. Sort of like The Road meets True Blood's opening credits.

{youtube}43Z90V8JPNQ{/youtube}

• Evoking the visuals of Gus Van Sant and the mysterious mood of Michael Haneke comes this trailer for the independent film Afterschool. Written and directed by first-timer Antonio Campos, »

Cronenberg to Remake His "Fly" Remake

27 September 2009 10:15 AM, PDT | www.ohmygore.com/ | See recent OhMyGore news »

David Cronenberg is developing a remake of his classic "The Fly" with Fox. He will direct and potentially write the new film. The 1986 release, itself a remake of Kurt Neumann's 1958 sci-fi classic, starred Jeff Goldblum and became a hit for Fox. "The Fly" 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.... »

Cronenberg Remaking His Remake of The Fly

27 September 2009 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

It's been a heck of a long time coming but it seems that a remake of Cronenberg's remake 'The Fly' from 1986 will in fact be..well....remade. And who's the lucky director plucked for such an audacious task? Well Mr David Cronenberg himself. It appears that Cronenberg has signed up for the directorial role and will indeed be remaking his own movie. Director Todd Lincoln ('Hack/Slash') was mentioned as a possible helmer a couple of years back ... »

David Cronenberg will direct The Fly again

26 September 2009 9:24 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

David Cronenberg is in talks to develop a reboot of the 1986 classic The Fly, writing and potentially directing the remake. The project would represent a chance for Cronenberg to return to a film that helped establish his career, with the technology needed to tackle the effects which wasn't possible in the 80's. Strangely Cronenberg  once claimed he would never make a remake, yet the 1986 title, itself was a remake of Kurt Neumann's 1958 sci-fi classic, and Cronenberg has also worked on an opera version of The Fly that was staged first in Paris and then in Los Angeles. »

10 Things I Learned This Week

By MIchael Adams

 

1. Warhol Did It, Why Not Cronenberg?

David Cronenberg is going to remake his remake of “The Fly." He’s done it as an opera, so why not? Andy Warhol’s pop art was often based around replication, so it might make sense. Rather than release the new version of “The Fly” to cinemas though, why not screen it at art galleries alongside the other two screen treatments? And leave a space blank where people upload their own versions... »

David Cronenberg Will 'Fly' Again

25 September 2009 10:45 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

By Variety

David Cronenberg is again buzzing with "The Fly."

 

The auteur is in talks to develop a reboot of the 1986 classic with Fox, the studio that released that film, writing and potentially directing the new pic.   The move marks an about-face for the Canadian director, who in the past has said he did not want to be involved on a remake of the film. Cronenberg did work on an opera version of "The Fly" that was staged first in Paris and then in Los Angeles.   Read more at the Hollywood Reporter. »

Even though filmmaker David Cronenberg previously said he's not into remaking films, he is now heading into development of a reboot of this own classic movie "The Fly" from 1986. Fox will back the project.

David Cronenberg Returns to The Fly

25 September 2009 7:42 AM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

It’s very rare to see original filmmakers involved with the many remakes and reboots populating Hollywood, but that seems to be the case here as the Risky Biz Blog is reporting David Cronenberg is developing a remake of his 1986 cult classic The Fly. Cronenberg has previously gone on record as saying he didn’t want to be involved in remakes of his films, but he’s apparently had a change of heart. According to Risky Biz the filmmaker is developing the project at Fox with an eye at possibly writing and directing the new version. The 1986 title, itself a remake of Kurt Neumann's 1958 sci-fi classic, starred Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle, 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. The film spawned a sequel in 1989 that starred Eric Stotlz as Seth and Veronica’s son. »

In the 1986 title Jeff Goldblum starred as Seth Brundle, a scientist who's teleportation experiment is ready to be tested on a human subject for the first time.

Video: Stephen Colbert Auditions for Battleship

24 September 2009 5:30 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

On "The Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert talked about the many silly movies that Hollywood is making, including Ridley Scott's "Monopoly" and Peter Berg's live-action "Battleship" film. We only got to see a card of the Monopoly guy with an Alien bursting out of him, but for "Battleship," Colbert had more in mind. He decided to audition for a role in the movie. Joining him to read the script was Jeff Goldblum (The Fly, Jurassic Park), and the two delivered incredible and emotional performances as Captain Red and Admiral Blue. But this masterpiece would not be complete with Keanu Reeves as the plastic peg. Video: If you cannot see the player, click here. »

Cronenberg remaking The Fly

The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog is reporting that director David Cronenberg is in talks to develop a reboot/remake of his insane 1986 sci-fi flick The Fly, starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. Cronenberg will write the film and is in talks to direct it. Just recently, he produced an opera adaptation of it, itself a remake of the 1958 cult classic, so he's probably got a bit of a head start. »

David Cronenberg Remakes His Own Film. Today in Film Bloggery 09/24/09

If you've already checked out our list of directors who made great remakes of their own films, you won't think it that strange that David Cronenberg is reportedly involved in a remake of his version of The Fly, itself an update of Kurt Nuemann's 1958 classic of the same name. And few movie bloggers could argue that it's a bad idea given Cronenberg's talent as a filmmaker. Still, nobody can figure out any kind of logical motivation behind the change of heart, given that Cronenberg ... »

5 Directors Who Made Great Remakes of Their Own Films

24 September 2009 2:55 PM, PDT | Spout.com | See recent Spout news »

David Cronenberg stunned many with his decision to remake his own film The Fly, involving himself as writer and potentially director of Fox’s reboot effort. But this certainly isn’t a bad idea. After all, Cronenberg’s version is already a redo of Kurt Neumann’s 1958 sci-fi/horror classic of the same name, and it’s considered one of the best remakes of all time. It is very likely that he will now also deliver one of the best examples in which a director remakes his own film. Sure, there are plenty of bad examples, especially when it’s a French filmmaker attempting to translate his hit comedy for Hollywood (see Three Fugitives and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01891 ... »

Director David Cronenberg to Remake "The Fly"

24 September 2009 2:50 PM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

David Cronenberg is in talks with Fox to reboot "The Fly." He wrote and directed the 1986 film starring Jeff Goldblum as scientist Seth Brundle who turned into a fly after a teleportation experiment goes awry. Geena Davis co-starred as Veronica, Brundle's love interest and partner.

The 1986 version was in itself a remake of the 1958 sci-fi classic from director Kurt Neumann with Vincent Price as François Delambre, the fly.

Why is Cronenberg interested in doing a remake of his own remake of a remake? Can't Hollywood be original anymore? The only answer I can come up with is the enhanced special effects available to Cronenberg now. But all the special effects in the world do not amount to nothing without a good script and direction; Yet as an experiment to see if he can top his own film, this plan is quite intriguing and interesting.

For now, take a look at »
