Josh Brolin Recalls His Hilarious Failed The Fly 2 Audition
Josh Brolin recalls his hilarious failed The Fly 2 audition in which he «totally committed» to the part of a man transforming into an insect. The 1989 sci-fi horror film served as a sequel to David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of the movie of the same name revolving around scientist Seth Brundle who is developing technology to allow teleportation between two pod structures. When he attempts to perform the teleportation himself, he fails to notice a fly trapped in the pod with him, resulting in his gradual transformation into a fly-hybrid creature.
The Fly 2 revolves around Martin Brundle, the adult son of Seth and his girlfriend Veronica who was born with a rapid aging disease and advanced physical and mental maturity and elects to fix his father's Telepods in the hopes of reversing his condition. Eric Stoltz led the cast of the horror sequel alongside Daphne Zuniga, Lee Richardson, Garry Chalk, Ann Marie Lee, Frank Turner and John Getz, with Saffron Henderson physically replacing Geena Davis as Veronica for the film's opening sequence while Jeff Goldblum's Seth is seen in archival footage. Chris Walas, who provided the Oscar-winning effects of the original film, directed The Fly 2 on a script from Frank Darabont, Mick Garris and Jim and Ken Wheat.
