Flies aka The Fly sequel! Renny Harlin – (The Horror Movie That Almost Was)

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A new episode of our THE HORROR MOVIE THAT ALMOST WAS video series has been released (you can check it out in the embed above), and in this one we're taking a look at FLIES – an unproduced sequel to David Cronenberg's 1986 version of THE FLY (watch it HERE). At one time set up to be a collaboration between THE FLY co-star Geena Davis and her director husband Renny Harlin, FLIES would have taken a different approach to the concept than the sequel we did get, 1989's THE FLY II. Find out all about FLIES in the video above!

THE HORROR MOVIE THAT ALMOST WAS series 

takes a look at the various horror projects that could never seem to get things off the ground, be it for budgetary concerns, creative differences, or just an ever-evolving Hollywood landscape. We dive into every aspect and see just how close these films had come to cameras rolling.

The series is Produced by John Fallon and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian. The FLIES episode is Written, Narrated and Edited by Tyler Nichols.
