The sci-fi horror classic The Fly is getting a follow-up, and from whats known about it so far, it could be the closest we get to David Cronenbergs canceled follow-up project. Few sci-fi movies have had the impact that David Cronenbergs 1986 The Fly had. Loosely based on George Langelaans 1957 short story of the same name and the 1958 film adaptation of it, The Fly introduced the world to Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), an eccentric but brilliant scientist working on a secret project. When he meets science journalist Ronnie Quaife (Geena Davis), Seth shows her his invention: telepods for teleportation.
