Looking for something to hold you over until that Stephen King-John Mellencamp musical hits Broadway next year (or, if you prefer sticking to entomological musical theater, Bono and the Edge's forthcoming "Spider-Man" project)?

David Cronenberg and Howard Shore have turned their messy 1986 horror film "The Fly" into an opera. Read all about it here or watch video from behind the scenes of the Paris production here . The Los Angeles premiere takes place in September.

About the Lens

Cinema St. Louis' The Lens is a multi-contributor blog aimed primarily - but by no means exclusively - at local cinephiles. The Lens will have a specifically St. Louis perspective when relevant - and will preview Cinema St. Louis events - but because film encompasses the world, the blog will offer material on every aspect of movie culture, with no ties to a particular place. Lens contributors - critics, academics, journalists, novelists, poets, essayists and filmmakers - will write, at any length and in any form, about all film-related topics, allowing for a wide array of approaches: simple reviews, stray thoughts, essays, reported articles, cartoons, photos, even audio clips and videos.

For a more complete introduction to The Lens, read the inaugural post by Cliff Froehlich.
