Despite past claims that he's not interested in re-visiting the film, it looks like David Cronenberg will now work on the remake of his film.

It's ironic, since his 1986 pic was itself a remake of Kurt Neumann's 1958 sci-fi horror, and he hasn't wanted much else to do with Seth Brundle and his teleportation experiments, at least until recently.

He skipped the awful sequel, but did work on the opera version which played on stage in Paris and LA last year.

Now Fox has roped him in to develop a fresh take on the material, having already started work on a remake without him. Cronenberg is planning to possibly write and direct it.

It may have to wait, though - he's still got thriller The Matarese Circle on his schedule first…

It's comforting to know that, in 20-30 years, I'll be able to watch a remake of Michael Bay's Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Guess what? I'm rebooting Babylon A.D. and I'll be playing Toorop. You know why? Matthieu Kassovitz is ticked at FOX for what they did.

Not that I doubt it that he could make a good remake of his own film, I would rather not see him waste is time doing something he already has done. He is one of those directors that I pretty much will go see anything he releases and would rather see him explore something new and interesting.

Very interesting. Cronenberg is one favorite filmakers working, I even went to see the opera and have a t-shirt to prove it. I would like to see what he would do with it 20+ years later. Would love to see him work on an original story but it's hard to complain because his last few movies have been fantastic either way.
