 If his remake of "The Fly" was one of the few really valid and defensible remakes...His remake of his remake of "the Fly" is one of the most invalid indefensible remakes.

What is the point?
All the reasons why his remake was a good move are null and void for this one.

Must have too much spare time on his hands.

Count me in as being incredibly intrigued by this. His '86 remake is masterful, and Cronenberg has grown even more as a filmmaker since. I am not sure I understand the previous posters vehemence in rejecting the validity and defensibility (does it need defending already?) of this project idea, but a new interpretation by the remakes original filmmaker is something to be excited about (in my humble opinion, of course).

I hope he hires a good cinematographer this time - we're never going to get a decent hi-def transfer of the '86 version on Blu-ray because of the way he shot the movie. Either that or Fox just didn't put much effort into the release.

What is wrong with the Blu Ray release of The Fly ?

It looks very good to me as in being a faithful presentation of the shot movie.

Every Blu-ray review I've read has given this release a poor grade on picture quality. Its probably not the studios' fault - this film always had a harsh, grainy and overly bright look to it and it has never looked good on any format. I'm satisfied with the excellent DVD version.
