About The Fly
The original run (1958 to 1965) follows the Delambre family across three films, starting with Kurt Neumann's 1958 classic. David Cronenberg remade the story in 1986 with Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle, and Chris Walas directed the 1989 sequel about Brundle's son.
The remake ignores the original trilogy, so one release-order list with continuity labels covers all five without implying a single timeline.
Good to know
The 1986 film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup. A new film written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu was confirmed in November 2024, with no release date set as of September 17, 2026.
