Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Following the sequel-spawning success of such films as Piranha 3D, producers Roy Lee (The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity) are developing another B-movie update, this time of 1978’s killer bee film The Swarm. Originally directed by 1970s Master of Disaster Irwin Allen, the film bombed, and to this day its star Michael Caine refuses to associate himself with it. But as is the case with a lot of genre films, The Swarm has gradually developed a fan following, thanks in no small part to the rest of its impressive acting ensemble, including Henry Fonda, Patty Duke, Slim Pickens, Richard Widmark, Olivia De Havilland, Richard Chamberlain, and (in his final film role) Fred MacMurray.
