A surprise spinoff of David Cronenberg’s 1986 horror classic The fly is now in the works, with a new director being revealed for the next film. A remake of the 1958 film of the same name The fly is often considered one of Cronenberg’s scariest films, following scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) who, while testing a teleportation device, is infused with fly DNA. The film received critical acclaim and was a box office success. However, its 1989 sequel, The Fly IIwas critically panned.
Now, Deadline confirmed that a spinoff for The fly was announced by 20th Century Studios, which will be written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu (Nanny). The film will also be produced by Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping of Chernin Entertainment, with specific plot details about what the film will involve currently under wraps. However, it will not be a remake nor a direct sequel, but rather an independent film that takes place in the same universe as Cronenberg’s classic.
