Deadline reports that 20th Century Studios and Chernin Entertainment are collaborating on another film set in the same universe as Cronenberg’s The Fly. The upcoming movie is being written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu. According to Deadline, this new film will not be a direct remake of Cronenberg’s work but will instead take place within the same universe.
The original 1958 cult classic tells the story of a young scientist who accidentally transforms himself into a fly during a failed experiment. Seth Brundle, a brilliant yet eccentric scientist, tries to impress investigative journalist Veronica Quaife by revealing his groundbreaking research on matter transportation. Despite skepticism from the scientific community, Brundle achieves success in his experiments. However, a fateful error during one of his teleportation tests results in a horrifying transformation that changes him forever.
