BZZZZT!

A swarm of Flies

While a lot of people remember the campy 1958 movie, in fact the original version of The Fly was a 1957 short story, which appeared in Playboy magazine, written by George Langelaan. Other subsequent adaptations include 1959’s Return Of The Fly, 1965’s Curse Of The Fly, 1989’s Cronenberg sequel (minus Cronenberg, Goldblum and Davis) The Fly II, and even a 2008 opera by Howard Shore, based on the 1986 movie for which he composed the score. At various points there has been talk of a new sequel being made, although nothing has yet been confirmed.
