Posthuman Blues

In this searingly grotesque deleted scene from David Cronenberg's acclaimed remake of "The Fly," Jeff Goldblum's character attempts to genetically fuse a cat with a baboon . . .



I suspect the "cat-baboon fusion sequence" was axed from the original release because it seemed too disturbing, too gratuitous, or both. But it beautifully captures the main character's desperation; the sense of encroaching somatic menace is palpable.

I've heard excellent things about "A History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises," but part of me craves the next big Cronenberg science fiction movie.
