In one deleted scene from David Cronenberg’s The Fly, Jeff Goldblum attempted to fix his condition by creating other hybrid creatures, like a cat-baboon, which he is forced to kill. The scene was cut as test audiences found it too disturbing, even by Cronenberg standards.
the year is 2030. i am a very successful young horror actress with a very promising career ahead of me and executives falling all over themselves to cast me in roles. i am a hollywood it girl when it comes to the horror genre, a trajectory i never saw my career going into but i handle it all with grace. i am attending a convention to speak with fans. fellow, but much less successful actor than i, johnny berchtold, approaches me between panels. he says he is a massive fan of my work. i humbly accept his praise and say, actually, i have something to show you. he nods eagerly, clearly surprised by this. i take out my phone and quickly type something into the firefox search bar, then show him my ao3 anonymous works. have a look at this, i tell him.
