The 1958 sci-fi classic will be buzzing to Blu-ray next month!
In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox is working on 'The Fly (1958)' for a Blu-ray release on September 10.
A scientist (David Hedison) is obsessed with developing a molecular matter transmitter. When he attempts to test the invention himself, he is unwittingly joined by a companion - a fly that has sneaked into the transportation pod with him. The consequences of the experiment soon become clear, as the scientist begins to take on fly-like characteristics. Remade by David Cronenberg in 1986.
The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 4.0 soundtrack, and supplements include: Audio Commentary with Actor David Hedison and Film Historian David Del Valle; Biography: Vincent Price; Fly Trap: Catching a Classic; and Fox Movietone News.
