The Fly SE DVD is on its way!

DVD producer David Prior is the man behind DVDs like Fight Club, Die Hard, both releases of Pearl Harbor, Planet of the Apes and Blade 2. He is also the man behind the long awaited Special Edition of David Cronenberg's The Fly. As a regular member at the Home Theater Forum, he was kind enough to gives some updates about the status of The Fly DVD: David [Cronenberg]'s commentary has been done for a long time. As you'd expect from him, it's terrific. He felt he said everything he needed to say there, so he has (so far, I'm still bugging him) declined an on-camera interview. He's busy making new movies and prefers not to dwell overly on the past. Pretty understandable. Reassembling the deleted reel from boxes of unmarked negative and without logs or notes has been, shall we say, challenging. The good news is Cronenberg has approved most of it. Not all of it, but the majority of it. I've been pestering, needling and making a general nuissance of myself at Fox to let me produce this DVD since I started doing this job and now it's in the home stretch. More details will come when Fox is ready, but hopefully this will tide you over till then. Also: A quick clarification: The DVD already has the green light -- it has for some time (seems like ages, actually). I know Fox wanted it finished a long time ago, but they deserve a lot of credit for not rushing it and letting me take the extra time. (Big thanks goes to Greg K)
