Watchmen screenwriter Alex Tse is developing a Super Fly remake
According to Variety, Sony has begun developing a remake of Super Fly, Gordon Parks Jr.’s cult blaxploitation hit from 1972. The original Super Fly got a sequel, so Variety notes that Sony is hoping that this new movie will also “lead to a series of films”—even though every studio hopes that every movie will somehow spawn a series of endless sequels. At this time, all we know about the new Super Fly is that it will be written by Alex Tse, a screenwriter who worked on the Watchmen movie, Spike Lee’s Sucker Free City, an early draft of the troubled Crow revival, and that’s about it.
