Retrieved May Goldblum, He then traps himself in one of the teleportation booths just as Barb arrives to watch the fire kill him and destroy the teleporter—his intent all along. To that end, Brundle loses How To Get Away With, teeth and fingernails, with his skin becoming more and more discolored and lumpy. Retrieved April 30, Next Stop, Greenwich Teufelsfrucht. He has sugar cravings and Ronnie is concerned about Seth's deteriorating sanity and also the strange, bristly hairs growing from a wound on his back.
Seth becomes arrogant and violent, insisting that the teleportation process is beneficial, and tries to force Ronnie to undergo teleportation.
When she refuses, he abandons her, goes to a bar and partakes in an arm-wrestling match, where he leaves his opponent with a compound fracture.
He meets a woman named Tawny and brings her back to his warehouse. They have intercourse, and Seth tries to coerce her into teleporting. Ronnie rescues her from teleportation.
Seth throws Ronnie out, but when his fingernails begin falling off, he realizes something went wrong during his teleportation. He checks his computer's records and discovers that the telepod computer, confused by the presence of two lifeforms in the sending pod, fused him with the fly at the molecular-genetic level.
Seth continues to deteriorate, losing body parts and becoming less human in appearance. After several weeks of being too scared to contact Ronnie, he reconnects with her and says he is becoming a hybrid of human and insect.
He has nicknamed this "Brundlefly". He has also begun vomiting digestive enzymes onto his food to dissolve it and has gained the ability to cling to walls and ceilings.
He realizes he is losing his human reason and compassion, driven by primitive impulses he cannot control. Seth installs a fusion program into the telepod computer, planning to dilute the fly genes in his body with human DNA.
Ronnie learns that she is pregnant by Seth and has a nightmare of giving birth to a giant maggot. She has Stathis persuade a doctor to perform an abortion in the middle of the night.
Having overheard their conversation, Seth abducts Ronnie before the abortion can take place and begs her to carry the child to term, since it may be the last remnant of his humanity.
Stathis breaks into Seth's lab with a shotgun, but Seth disarms him and uses his corrosive vomit to destroy Stathis' left hand and right leg, stopping just short of vomiting acid onto Stathis' face when Ronnie screams at him to stop.
Seth reveals his desperate plan to Ronnie: he will use the telepods to fuse himself and her, together with their unborn child, into one entity.
As Seth drags her into one of the telepods, she accidentally rips off his jaw, triggering his final transformation into an insectoid-human creature, which bursts from Seth's decayed human body.
It traps Ronnie inside the first telepod and enters the other. The wounded Stathis uses his shotgun to sever the cables connecting Ronnie's telepod to the computer, allowing Ronnie to escape.
Breaking out of its own pod just as the fusion process is activated, the creature is gruesomely fused with the metal door and cabling of telepod 2.
As the deformed creature crawls out of the receiving pod, it silently begs Ronnie to end its suffering, and she tearfully fires the shotgun at Seth's head, blowing it to pieces.
In the early s, co-producer Kip Ohman approached screenwriter Charles Edward Pogue with the idea of remaking the classic science fiction horror film The Fly.
Deciding that this was a project in which he was interested, he talked with producer Stuart Cornfeld about setting up the production, and Cornfeld very quickly agreed.
He initially wrote an outline similar to that of Langelaan's story, but both he and Cornfeld thought that it would be better to rework the material to focus on a gradual metamorphosis instead of an instantaneous monster.
However, when executives read the script, they were so unimpressed that they immediately withdrew from the project.
After some negotiation, Cornfeld orchestrated a deal whereby Fox would agree to distribute the film if he could set up financing through another source.
The new producer was Mel Brooks and the film was to be produced by his company, Brooksfilms. Cornfeld was a frequent collaborator and friend of Brooks, who together also produced David Lynch's film The Elephant Man.
Pogue was then removed from the project and Cornfeld hired Walon Green for a rewrite, but it was felt that his draft was not a step in the right direction, so Pogue was then brought back to polish the material.
Bierman was flown to Los Angeles to meet with Pogue, and the film was in the very early stages of preproduction when tragedy struck.
Bierman's family had been vacationing in South Africa and his daughter was killed in an accident. Bierman told them that he was unable to start working so soon, and Brooks told him that he would wait three months and contact him again.
At the end of the three months, Bierman told him that he could not commit to the project. Brooks told him that he understood and had freed him from his contract.
Brooks left his name off the credits so as people would not go to the movie expecting what one would expect from Mel Brooks. Cornfeld then heard that Cronenberg was no longer associated with Total Recall and once again approached him with The Fly.
Geoff and Barbara Powell are a happily married couple. Geoff, a brilliant scientist, has been working on a teleportation machine, but is unwilling to tell his employer, Phillip DeWitt, or his friend, Harry Chandler, about the nature of the project.
DeWitt is greatly displeased by this, and threatens to pull his funding of the mystery project unless he is given full disclosure.
After several failed experiments, such as a monkey's atoms never reintegrating after disintegration, Geoff eventually is successful in teleporting both inanimate and living objects.
However, when he tries it on himself, a housefly slips into the booth with him. Seemingly normal at first, Geoff soon develops incredible strength, stamina, and energy.
After sprouting fly-hairs and losing his fingernails, Geoff eventually discovers that the fly has been absorbed into his body, and that its cells are now taking over his own.
As he slowly mutates into a giant fly, Geoff loses body parts, and becomes able to climb walls, as well as digest food with corrosive vomit. Barb is horrified to learn that she is pregnant by Geoff, and cannot be sure if the child was conceived before or after his teleportation.
Eventually, Chandler discovers the teleporter's existence, reveals it to DeWitt, and demonstrates it on a cat, only to have the lost monkey atoms return from the ether and create a horrible "monkey-cat" creature, which DeWitt beats to death with a metal rod.
Despite this failed experiment, DeWitt sees the substantial monetary value of the device, and so takes possession of the teleporter. Geoff now mostly transformed into a fly-monster and unable to speak learns of this, and goes to DeWitt's office building, followed by Barb.
Geoff confronts DeWitt, starts a fire in the lab where the teleporter is now housed, and kills DeWitt by vomiting and feeding on him.
He then traps himself in one of the teleportation booths just as Barb arrives to watch the fire kill him and destroy the teleporter—his intent all along.
In a coma, Barb dreams of giving birth to a giant maggot, only to wake up in a hospital, where it is revealed that she's given birth to a healthy baby boy.
The revised script differed greatly from Pogue's screenplay, though it still retained the basic plot and the central concept of a gradual mutation.
Cronenberg rewrote the characters and most of the dialogue from scratch as well as fusing DeWitt and Chandler--who had romantic intentions toward Barb in the Pogue draft--into Stathis Borans , and carried over a few key moments and concepts.
Certain aspects of the transformation from Pogue's draft such as the hero's loss of body parts were expanded upon, and Cronenberg also layered in his trademark themes of sexuality, body horror, and personal identity.
He also made it a point to keep Seth Brundle as articulate as possible for as long as possible, as opposed to Pogue's draft, in which Geoff Powell loses his ability to speak two-thirds of the way through the script.
Seth Brundle's increasing mania and personality changes in the early stages of the transformation were emphasized in the rewrites, and the notion of the transformation itself being a horrible and very metaphorical disease became a key factor in the new script.
Also, in this version, Brundle was clearly transforming into a bizarre hybrid creature as the result of a genetic fusion, whereas in Pogue's version, Powell was being taken over by the fly's cells, which had been absorbed into his body thus slowly transforming him literally into a giant fly, rather than Brundle's deformed man-fly mixture.
Cronenberg's version also retained such moments as Brundle catching a fly in mid-air, the fingernail-pulling, and the maggot-baby dream which was moved to an earlier point in the story, and used for thematic and plot purposes rather than as an end-of-film shock moment.
The "monkey-cat" of Pogue's script was repurposed by Cronenberg into a twisted, desperate attempt by Brundle to find a cure, and Pogue's sequence of a fly leg hatching from Geoff's side was taken one step further, with Brundle amputating the twitching limb with his teeth.
Pogue's script also featured a bag lady being murdered by Geoff in an alley, and Cronenberg revised this so that the woman was killed by vomit-drop as with DeWitt's murder at the end of the original draft rather than Geoff cutting her throat accidentally however, Cronenberg never filmed his version of this sequence, which was written out of the final shooting script.
While Cronenberg's script did not end with Veronica Quaife giving birth, it did end with a coda which revealed that she was pregnant with a normal baby, conceived by Borans after Brundle's death and the abortion of Brundle's possibly tainted fetus.
Despite the extensive rewrite of Pogue's script, Cronenberg insisted during Writers Guild arbitrations that he and Pogue share screenplay credit, since he felt that his version could not have come to pass without Pogue's script to serve as a foundation.
With a script that everyone approved of, Cronenberg assembled his usual crew and began the process of casting the picture, ultimately deciding on Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis for the leads.
Chris Walas , who had designed the creatures in Gremlins , was hired to handle the film's extensive special effects. Filming took place in Toronto in — The producers also commissioned musician Bryan Ferry to record a song for the film for promotional purposes.
The resulting track was entitled "Help Me". A music video was made for the song, and footage from the film was prominently featured in it.
Cronenberg admitted to liking the song, but felt that it was inappropriate to the film itself. Brooks and Cornfeld originally wanted to play the song over the closing credits, but after Cronenberg screened it for them, they agreed with the director that it did not mesh with the movie.
As a result, the song is featured only briefly in the film, in the background during the scene where Brundle challenges Marky in the bar.
The design of Brundle's telepods was inspired by the engine cylinder of Cronenberg's Ducati Desmo. After filming ended early in , a rough cut of The Fly was shown to Fox executives, who were very impressed.
A rough cut was then previewed at Toronto's Uptown Theatre in the spring of that year. Due to a strong audience reaction, the graphic and infamous "monkey-cat" sequence was cut from the film to make it easier for audiences to maintain sympathy for Brundle's character.
Another preview screening was subsequently held at the Fox lot in Los Angeles , and this version featured the "butterfly baby" coda. As before, the screening results dictated that the scene be cut.
The final "Brundlefly" creature was designed first, and then the various steps needed to carry protagonist Seth Brundle to that final incarnation were designed afterwards.
The transformation was intended to be a metaphor for the aging process. To that end, Brundle loses hair, teeth and fingernails, with his skin becoming more and more discolored and lumpy.
The intention of the filmmakers was to give Brundle a bruised and cancerous look that gets progressively worse as the character's altered genome slowly asserts itself, with the final Brundlefly hybrid creature literally bursting out of Brundle's hideously deteriorated human skin.
The creature itself was designed to appear horribly asymmetrical and deformed, and not at all a viable or robust organism.
Various looks were tested for the makeup effects. The transformation was broken up into seven distinct stages, with Jeff Goldblum spending many hours in the makeup chair for Brundle's later incarnations.
The Fly was critically acclaimed, with most praise going to Goldblum's performance and the special effects. Audiences reacted strongly to the graphic creature effects and the tragic love story, and the film received much attention at the time of its release.
David Cronenberg was surprised when The Fly was seen by some critics as a cultural metaphor for AIDS , since he originally intended the film to be a more general analogy for disease itself, terminal conditions like cancer and, more specifically, the aging process:.
If you, or your lover, has AIDS, you watch that film and of course you'll see AIDS in it, but you don't have to have that experience to respond emotionally to the movie and I think that's really its power.
This is not to say that AIDS didn't have an incredible impact on everyone and, of course, after a certain point, people were seeing AIDS stories everywhere, so I don't take any offense that people see that in my movie.
For me though, there was something about The Fly story that was much more universal: aging and death—something all of us have to deal with. Film critic Gene Siskel named The Fly as the tenth best film of The website's critical consensus reads, "David Cronenberg combines his trademark affinity for gore and horror with strongly developed characters, making The Fly a surprisingly affecting tragedy.
In , the American Film Institute distributed ballots to 1, directors, critics and other people associated with the film industry in order to determine the top ten American films in ten different genre categories.
Cronenberg's version of The Fly was nominated under the science fiction category, although it did not make the top ten.

Many genre fans and film critics at the time thought that Jeff Goldblum's performance would receive a Best Actor Oscar nomination, [23] but this did not happen.
Gene Siskel subsequently stated that Goldblum most likely "got stiffed" out of a nomination because the older Academy voters generally do not honor horror films.
Whereas the original was followed by two sequels, Cronenberg has said that the stories in his films have definitive beginnings and endings, and he has never considered making a sequel to one of his own films, although others have made sequels to Cronenberg films, including Scanners The Fly II was directed by Chris Walas, the man behind the makeup and creature effects of both films and Gremlins, and is a direct continuation of The Fly.
It features Veronica Quaife giving birth to Brundle's mutant son before dying, and focuses on the Bartok company's attempts to get the Telepods working again.
David Cronenberg was not involved with the project. The only actor to return for the sequel was John Getz as an embittered Stathis Borans.
Veronica Quaife appears briefly in the film, and is played by Saffron Henderson , since Geena Davis declined to reprise the role. Jeff Goldblum appears in archival footage of Seth Brundle in two scenes, including the post-teleportation interview segment that was deleted from the first film, but put to good use for the sequel.
His other brother, Rick, whom Goldblum has described as a "kind of hero of mine", died in at age 23 while travelling in Morocco, having contracted dysentery which led to kidney failure.
Goldblum credits his interest in jazz music to Rick's influence while they were growing up. He has stated that his brother's early death made him "more focused" and gave him a determination to "save myself and survive".
During his childhood, Goldblum belonged to an Orthodox synagogue and had a bar mitzvah ceremony. He worked on the stage and studied acting at the renowned Neighborhood Playhouse under the guidance of acting coach Sanford Meisner.
He is an accomplished jazz pianist and has declared that if he did not act that he would have become a professional musician.

Jeff Goldblum appears in archival footage of Seth Brundle in two scenes, including the post-teleportation interview segment that was deleted from the first film, but put to good use for the sequel.
An early treatment for a sequel, written by Tim Lucas , involved Veronica Quaife dealing with the evils of the Bartok company.
Brundle's consciousness had somehow survived within the Telepod computer, and the Bartok scientists had enslaved him and were using him to develop the system for cloning purposes.
Brundle becomes able to communicate with Veronica through the computer, and he eventually takes control of the Bartok complex's security systems to gruesomely attack the villains.
Eventually, Veronica frees Brundle by conspiring with him to reintegrate a non-contaminated version of his original body. Cronenberg endorsed this concept at the time.
Geena Davis was open to doing a sequel and only pulled out of The Fly II because her character was to be killed in the opening scene , while Goldblum was not although he was okay with a cameo , and this treatment reflects that.
Mick Garris also wrote a treatment, with elements incorporated into the final film. In the s, Geena Davis was reportedly involved with an alternate sequel to The Fly , to be directed by her then-husband, Renny Harlin , titled Flies.
The script by Richard Jefferies was said to feature a story where Veronica gives birth to twin boys, and herself survives the ordeal.
In , it was announced that a second remake of The Fly was being developed, to be directed by Todd Lincoln, produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures , and released in , but this did not happen.
In , it was rumored that David Cronenberg himself was preparing to direct a second remake of The Fly , [29] but it was not until that the director addressed the rumors.
Cronenberg stated that he had written not a remake, but rather a "sort of" sequel script to his version, and would film it if 20th Century Fox gave the project the go-ahead:.
I have written a script that is more of a strange lateral, let's say oblique sequel than it is a true sequel, and it's certainly not a remake of the original.
It's financed by Fox, and whether it will get made or not, I cannot say at the moment because there are a lot of up-in-the-air factors that deal with internal studio politics and a bunch of other things that I'm not in control of.
But I would make it if they greenlight it, let's put it that way. Cronenberg elaborated further when interviewed by Empire in Well, I did talk to Fox, because my agent found out that they were approaching people to do a remake of my film.
He sort of said, "Well, you know, what about David? I said, "Long ago I proposed a sequel to Mel Brooks when he said he wanted to make a sequel.
But I still had this idea in mind—which no, I won't tell you—and I said to Fox, "I'll write that idea up because, as I think of it, it could be interesting.
And then for various reasons it kind of got bogged down. I don't know exactly why. It seems now that it's not going to happen.
