Ensuring the Horror Film Historians of the Future are Nicely Confused

Apparently David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of The Fly is itself set to be remade.

By David Cronenberg.

Isn't this all getting a little recursive?

Apparently Cronenberg will get to use the latest SFX technology. From what I recall there wasn't that much wrong with what we saw (peeking between our fingers) last time round...

I'll wait for the remake of that...

Hm, I was halfway hoping it would be an announcement that he would be making a film of the opera that was made from his film.

Speaking of recursive - have you noticed what you get if you google "recursion" ?

And he's going to KEEP on remaking it until he gets it RIGHT!

Just like Lucas' obsessive noodling with the original Star Wars trilogy.

Cecil B. De Mille directed The Squaw Man in 1914 ...

His first film, and possibly Hollywood's first full-length motion picture.

Four years later, he made the same film again

So there's definitely precedent!

That's not a 'special effects' movie, it's a 'horrible things revealed in little touches' tour de force.
