Be afraid. Be very afraid. And totally grossed out.
As you’ve probably heard, Sleight director J.D. Dillard is currently attached to direct a new take on The Fly, which began its life as a 1958 film that decades later spawned David Cronenberg’s practical effects-heavy remake. The transformation sequences in Cronenberg’s film are among the best in the genre’s history, and we can only hope Dillard makes sure to nail that important aspect of the story.
In the meantime, fans have begun making their own concept art for fresh takes on the iconic Brundlefly transformation. Just last month we showed you a 3D artist named Calvin’s incredibly impressive take on the human-to-fly transformation, and now Canadian artist Benjamin Parker has brought his own vision to life over on ArtStation.
A series of six images from Parker turn an ordinary man into a hideous monster, beginning with the gradual “decline” phase and culminating in the full-on transformation. The end result is pretty spectacular, looking a bit more lanky and streamlined than Cronenberg’s man-fly. We like it. We like it a lot.
What do you think?
