Dave Franco Wants to Make a 'Gross' and 'Old School' Horror Movie Like David Cronenberg (Exclusive)

Based on having starred in comedic projects like 21 Jump Street, Neighbors, and The Disaster Artist, fans were taken by surprise when actor Dave Franco made his directorial debut with the unsettling horror film The Rental, but that project might not have merely been an experiment with the genre, as he recently revealed that he'd like to return to horror for an upcoming project.

When asked by ComicBook.com what filmmaking genre he might dive into next, Franco detailed,"I'm not going to take anything off the table, but I am having a little bit of an itch to get back to horror.

While Cronenberg films might never be major financial successes, his legacy from films like The Brood, Scanners, and Videodrome means that filmmakers have rarely attempted to reinvent his films from new perspectives. Given his affinity for Cronenberg, Franco shared the film of his he could potentially see himself reviving, with him selecting a Cronenberg film which itself was a remake of a Vincent Price-starring movie.

"It's hard for me to say," the filmmaker confirmed when asked if he'd like to reimagine one of Cronenberg's films."I don't think so. It's hard. I don't think ... It's just so hard to touch some of these classics. But the one that comes to mind first for me in terms of like, 'Oh, man, I want to do something like that,' is The Fly. I just love how gross it gets. It's so gross.
