The Fly behind the scenes

2022-01-26 08:13
The design of the film "Electronic Transmission Cabin" is inspired by the cylinder shape of the old Ducati motorcycle by director David Cronenberg.
David Cronenberg’s choice of starring Jeff Goldblum has been opposed by many parties. The upper-level Fox believes that Goldblan lacks box office appeal, while special effects makeup artistbelieves that It is difficult to achieve the ideal makeup effect on his face.
Michael Keaton was invited to play Seth Brando, but he refused.
Goldbrunn offered to let his girlfriend Gina Davis play the leading role. Cronenberg was reluctant to let a couple star in his own movie at first, but Davis's first audition broke his preconceptions.
The script of "Turn the Fly" did not impress the upper echelons of Fox at first, and the filming almost fell through. After many negotiations, Fox agreed to release the film, but only if Cornfield and others had to raise funds for the filming.
When designing the image of the flyman, the special effects department consulted medical books.
Tim Bolton was expected to direct the film, but quit the crew before filming.
The screenwriter Charles Edward Pogle and the producer felt that the main character's gradual change should be focused on, rather than the result of sudden mutation. Therefore, the film put a lot of effort into makeup.
The Englishman Robert Bielman was selected as the director of the film, but at the beginning of the film’s pre-production, Bielman’s daughter, who was on vacation in South Africa, died unexpectedly. Bielman said he could not resume work in a short period of time. Three months. Later, the producer had to terminate the contract with him.
During the filming of Seth’s transformation into a fly, Jeff Goldblum’s makeup process lasted five hours.

    The whole body trembled, the hands trembled, and I was completely convinced! ! ! Is it just a curious technological tragedy? Why not "Mulholland Drive" in the other direction - a sad song at the end of one's life, so mournful, so sighing. The tragic ego that includes the possibility is completely destroyed by a momentary self-gazing, "What's wrong with me? Am I going to die? Is this a harbinger of death?" The moment Seth looked in the mirror, we and he experienced a long time Near-death experience.

    When I was in elementary school, I read "Flies" published in "Science Illustrated", and I was frightened by just one illustration. Now over 25, after several American, Japanese, and Thai horror films, there are no sequelae, and I believe that I can completely overcome the heart palpitations that "The Flies" has brought me over the years. The result was still shocking! The reason why I gave it to Samsung is that I really don't want to recommend it to my friends. It's disgusting and scary! I can't even open the full screen! !

The Fly quotes

  • Seth Brundle: [to Veronica] You're afraid to dive into the plasma pool, aren't you? You're afraid to be destroyed and recreated, aren't you? I'll bet you think that you woke me up about the flesh, don't you? But you only know society's straight line about the flesh. You can't penetrate beyond society's sick, gray, fear of the flesh. Drink deep, or taste not, the plasma spring! Y'see what I'm saying? And I'm not just talking about sex and penetration. I'm talking about penetration beyond the veil of the flesh! A deep penetrating dive into the plasma pool!

  • Tawny: There's no elevator, I can't make it.

    Seth Brundle: No, there's an elevator.

    [picks her up in his arms]

    Seth Brundle: There, don't you feel elevated?
