The Fruit Fly

Hi everyone, I've been busy working on my old film scripts again. Here's a sneak peek of the newest one, it's been optioned by a company.
The Fruit Fly is an exciting twist on an old classic, The Fly, about Seth Brundle, a man slowly becoming a fly. It's basically the same, except it's with a fruit fly. Enjoy.

The Fruit Fly gets a rating of five maraschino cherries out of a possible five. That's a damn good screenplay. Jack Lemmon has expressed interest even though he's dead (or precisely because he's dead). And Harry Lime has come out of hiding.
