But whatever Disney plans to do with The Fly I can only hope they keep it more adult-orientated as the thought of a Marvel-style The Fly as a superhero of-sorts tale just seems wrong on so many levels.
J.D. Dillard and Alex Theurer’s version of The Fly, as you might imagine, will more than likely not be released under the main Disney banner.
While there is no word on just which of Fox’s intellectual properties Disney plans to keep moving forward, today we have word (a rumor) that Disney plans to bring George Langelaan’s classic 1957 short story The Fly back to the big screen.
The short story has since already spawned two hit adaptations with the first being producer-director Kurt Neumann’s 1958 film.
