Did You Know These Classic Films Were All Remakes?

The Fly

You will never watch a more visually upsetting film than The Fly from 1986. This body horror film is scary, but not an original idea. The first iteration of this movie came from director Kurt Neumann in 1958. Both of these were also based on George Langelaan's 1957 short story about a scientist whose teleportation plan goes awry. 

No Way Out

In 1987, the world got introduced to the film No Way Out...again! The first version of this big-screen blockbuster was in 1948 when John Farrow directed a film called "The Big Clock" which was also based on Kenneth Fearing's 1946 novel. There was another iteration in 1976 called "Police Python 357."
