This may or may not bug the shit out of you. But either way, it’s confirmed by FOX and another Fly remake is coming.

 

If you find this news disturbing, feel free to throw up if you need to.

OK, now that you’ve had a moment to recover, let’s get right to it. According to Deadline, who not only broke the news that another remake of the beloved tragic love-horror story is in the works, but a director and co-writer is already in negotiations for the upcoming 20th Century FOX project. J.D. Dillard, whose directorial debut Sleight received a ton of praise at the Sundance Film Festival last year, is in talks to direct and co-write along with Alex Theurer the remake-remake. Dillard is currently about to begin production for his first horror/thriller film for Blumhouse entitled Sweetheart. So one can assume if he indeed grabs the reigns in another take of The Fly, it wont be until this project is completed.

The original 1958 Kurt Neumann film starred Vincent Price and spawned two sequels for the monster SyFy era of the late ’50s and early ’60s, The Return of the Fly, and The Curse of the Fly. The 1986 David Cronenberg masterpiece that starred Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis served as almost a teaching film for filmmakers everywhere basically stating, if you’re going to do a remake a film, this is how you do it. And he did it so perfectly that it remains as not only one of the best horror horror remakes ever, but one of the most beautiful horror films of all time. It’s quite rare when a remake outdoes its predecessor. However, in this case, I think its safe to say that although Neumann’s vision is legit excellent, Cronenberg stepped it up a notch in the horror department alongside Goldblum’s fantastic performance of Brundlefly.

Can Dillard live up to the challenge of making a third GREAT Fly film? Well, his resume is short but is excellent if you have indeed seen Sleight. So it’s quite possible you can set those barf bags on the side for now. I’m about as big of a Fly fan as one can be, so if I can get THREE superb Fly films, I’m all for it!

Baffling Footage of “Time Traveler” Captured on Ring Cam

Published

on

Some physicists think that time travel is possible and in a recent social media story we might believe them. 

It all started when a homeowner named Alec Schaal checked his outside security camera remotely. He saw a young gentleman walking aimlessly around the yard seemingly looking for something. The trespassing individual with a backpack over his shoulder entered the homeowner’s tool shed and closed the door. It seemed like a simple case of unlawful intrusion. But as the homeowner reviewed the entire footage he noticed something strange and ended up calling the police.

It became a concern when the interloper never exited the shed. Worried, the homeowner had law enforcement check on the situation but the investigation turned up nothing: the stranger was nowhere to be found, he seemingly disappeared into thin air. 

That would have been the end of it, but what happened next is even stranger.

The next day, someone who looks like the first guy emerges from the shed but he appears 30 years older!! 

Since this weird story broke, Schaal’s TikTok has been blowing up and he has given several updates. Of course, some people are outright skeptical about the whole thing, while others want more proof which Schaal provides.

In the most recent update, Schaal says TikTok is trying to remove the story from his feed saying that it violates their guidelines about…gambling. He’s appealed but was declined.

Take a look at the videos for yourself and let us know what you think.

I’ve literally watched this 1 million times and he never leaves. Where did he go? 😭👀

‘Violent Night’ Director’s Next Project is a Shark Movie

Published

on

Sony Pictures is getting in the water with director Tommy Wirkola for his next project; a shark movie. Although no plot details have been revealed, Variety confirms that the movie will start filming in Australia this summer.

Also confirmed is that actress Phoebe Dynevor is circling the project and is in talks to star. She is probably best known for her role as Daphne in the popular Netflix soap Bridgerton.

Dead Snow (2009)

Duo Adam McKay and Kevin Messick (Don’t Look Up, Succession) will produce the new film.

Wirkola is from Norway and utilizes a lot of action in his horror films. One of his first films, Dead Snow (2009), about zombie Nazis, is a cult favorite, and his 2013 action-heavy Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is an entertaining distraction.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

But 2022’s Christmas blood fest Violent Night starring David Harbour made wider audiences familiar with Wirkola. Coupled with favorable reviews and a great CinemaScore, the film became a Yuletide hit.

Insneider first reported this new shark project.
