Those Telepods Were Junk

I'd love to see a movie like that, but it wouldn't really be a "fly" movie. The telepods themselves would have to have their own movie aside from flies. Great concept in of itself though.

It could still be made into a Fly movie.
Let's say that Martin Brundle had a son, who grew up normally and became a scientist. He finds his grandfather's research, which has been systematically suppressed for decades. He finds out that the teleporters, although too dangerous to use on living matter, work perfectly well on inanimate matter. What does he do? Well, he takes a radical approach to the matter, so he releases the blueprints of the teleporters under the GPL. Now everyone can make their own teleporters and life is revolutionized as now solid goods can not only be transported instantaneously, from one place to another, but also replicated and even downloaded off P2P software. However, there are people who would do absolutely anything to return to the previous status quo... the lobbyists of copyright majors. "You wouldn't download a car" suddenly expresses something very real. Martin Brundle's son finds himself the target of terrorists paid by those companies. His life is in danger, so he decides to fight fire with fire. Remembering the effects that those teleporters have on living matter, he decides to make his own army of mutants, and with the perfect understanding of the technology, he can decide exactly what kind of creatures will come out of the telepods. Not only he takes people who are willing to fight the system and mutates them into animal/human hybrids, but he gives them features that no animal on earth possesses, like rocket flight (glands injecting organic fuel and oxidizer into a hydroxyapatite - i.e. bone - combustion chamber), fire breathing (hydrogen produced by stomach bacteria, ignited by sparks generated by teeth made of metal) and even laser shooting (a bioluminescent organ inside an organic stimulated emission cavity). He mutates himself as well... into a strong, lethal, intelligent fly monster that is also able to fly. Oh yes, the fly flies. The subsequent battles (terrorists vs. mutants) are spectacular and gory, people die, buildings are destroyed, explosions are everywhere, and at the end the mutants rise triumphant, building a new society where all goods can be replicated at will, everyone is filthy rich as anyone else, has total control over matter and can go anywhere in a matter of seconds.
The aesop of the story? You cannot stop science.
