Fear of the Flesh: The Making of 'The Fly' (2005)
Why Cronenberg wasn't featured in the documentary

I seem to remember reading an interview with David Prior, the producer of FEAR OF THE FLESH, some years ago. Apparently there were scheduling conflicts with Cronenberg, as he was busy filming A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. Prior also stated that Cronenberg wasn't too enthused about appearing in the documentary, as he had already said everything he wanted to about THE FLY on the film's commentary track.
I still think that this is a fantastic documentary, as it covers virtually everything about the film you could want to know. It contains even more excised footage than was included in the film's "deleted scenes" section. I also really enjoyed the moments devoted to the original screenwriter, Charles Edward Pogue.
