“The fly”: Mel Brooks producer, Geena Davis’ (real) fear and the other 8 secrets of the film

by time news

It arrived in theaters in 1986 “The fly”, a film directed by David Cronenberg – remake of “The experiment of Dr. K.” from 1958, based on the short story “The fly” by George Langelaan (1957) – with Jeff Gold blum and Geena Davis as the two protagonists or the scientist Seth Brundle (who for a mistake committed during an experiment with a teleportation machine slowly transforms into a hybrid being between a human and a fly) and the journalist Veronica Quaife. Originally, after Cronenberg’s initial resignation (because he had to deal with the adaptation of “Act of Force”), Robert Bierman was called to direct the film. However, the English director, struck by a terrible family tragedy (his daughter died suddenly, victim of a car accident), was no longer able to work. Thus Cronenberg was recalled, who in the meantime had left the direction of «Atto di forza». But this is not the only curiosity about «La mosca», broadcast tonight at 9 pm on Sky Cinema Suspense.
