Holy Crap! Cronenberg's THE FLY: THE OPERA! Arranged by Howard Shore!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with something that gets me giddy. Howard Shore, now most known for his amazing score for the LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY, is in the process of preparing an Opera based on David Cronenberg's THE FLY! Holy shit! Shore scores many of Cronenberg's films, including the 1987 film the opera will be based on... This really gets my juices flowing. I'm so going when this opens... What about you guys?

Interesting. I always wondered how people posted first and why they were proud of it. Actually, I always thought it was pretty stupid. But here I am and wow do I feel cool.
-
...when the heck is there going to be a Criterion dvd of The Fly? The only thing out there is a combo of Fly and Fly 2, and I would like to forget they made a Fly 2.
I had a history of film teacher say they should burn the negative of the 1950's Fly, and declare the Cronenberg version the original. -
Jesus, what an amazing idea. God knows if they can pull it off, but the idea of hearing one of the greatest horror scores ever conceived performed by a live symphony... with Brundlefly lurching about the stage... Wow. It could so easily tip over into cornball camp. Here's hoping they find some grace notes and a shitload of clever makeup! ;)

Oh and the original fly scared the hell out of me whan I was a kid. Hell, I'm still worried about waht happened to the cat.

...why does this need to happen? I'm not sure how the story of The Fly would be helped by being told through the medium of opera. Maybe I'll eat my words one day, but the idea seems a little redumdant to me. I was surprised to hear abut Jerry Springer: The Opera, but after a while, the idea made some sort of sense. Well, I've had a while to think about this one, and it still doesn't make sense.

Mel Brooks's Brooksfilm was the production company behind the 1986 version of "The Fly."
If Mel can find success on "The Producers," then there could be a way to find success for "The Fly."
Then again, "The Producers" lends itself to be a much easier transision to a musical stage performance than a guy who barfs on donuts before he eats them. -
Have 'they' just changed the fonts again on this website??

Now if only that Simpsons-inspired "Planet of the Apes" musical would make it to Broadway.
-
I can just hear the last aria now. Imagine high pitched whiny voice: "Help me! Somebody Help me! A spider's coming, so help me, please! . . ."
-
The film had a very operatic feel to it and the dialogue could easily be adapted. But what I'd really like to see would be that Planet of the Apes musical. "I hate every ape I see... from chim-pan-A to chim-pan-zee!"

I mean, what the fuck are they gonna sing? 'A fly! A fly! I'm turning into a fly! My name is Seth Brundle and I'm turning into a fly! Please wait till that scene where I snap that guy's arm off armwrestling as it's extremely cool!' I must admit I like the 1986 film. Some great makeup on Brundle, and parts are the film truly are horror. Shore's score I think is top notch.

This was supposed to be a joke, but how long before someone does a stage version of this!

The Silence of the Lambs Musical. With such wonderful songs as "Put the fucking lotion in the basket" "Are you about a size 14" and the lovely "If I could smell her cunt".
You have got to check out these songs! -

Only this is at least ten times more bizarre...

Will it star Goldbloom?

Holy crap, lets hope Chris Wales can revisit his Oscar winning makeup FX on stage.

Sung to the tune of Knees up Mother Brown sung by Jeff Goldblum "Just because you can,doesn't mean you should,that was very silly,you did it coz you could.Or maybe Geena Davies Sings"I'm pregnant (oh no),I'm having Seths baby,It might turn out ok but it might look like a larva maybe".Seriously was Gene Wilder hiding behind the curtains holding back a laugh while Mel was pitching this?
-
This film had a character named Stathis Borans, which is good.
What's he gonna score when Stathy gets his leg and hand melted by fly spew? -
You beat me to the punch. The Tall Guy parallells are almost too weird. "Egads, me lads, it's a real pea-souper!"
