{"product_id":"the-fly-emma-westwood-9781911325420","title":"The Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's not often that a remake outshines its original but David Cronenberg's \"reimagining\" of \u003ci\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/i\u003e (1986) is one of those rare exceptions. Equal parts horror, science fiction, and romance, \u003ci\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/i\u003e takes the premise of its 1958 original--a man unintentionally fusing with a housefly during an experiment in teleportation--and reinterprets the plot as a gradual cellular metamorphosis between these two organisms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book teases out the intricate DNA of \u003ci\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/i\u003e and how it represents the personalities of many authors, including a distinguished history of Man-as-God tales stretching back to Mary Shelley's \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e (1818). Drawing from interviews with cast, crew, film commentators, and other filmmakers, Emma Westwood interlaces the \"making of\" travails of \u003ci\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/i\u003e with why it is one of the most important examples of master storytelling ever committed to screen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Westwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911325426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911325420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Emma Westwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598212788479,"sku":"9781911325420","price":27.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_766f44c6-2775-4a53-8779-e85cca6c651a.jpg?v=1702381228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fly-emma-westwood-9781911325420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
