In a 1992 interview, Fred Olen Ray said he asked Roger Corman if he could remake Corman's movie The Wasp Woman (1959), but Corman had no interest. So Ray took the concept to another company, changed wasp enzymes to alien, and called it Evil Spawn (1987). Jim Wynorski later convinced Corman to remake The Wasp Woman.
Jennifer Rubin starred in another science fiction horror movie the same year - Screamers (1995) as Jessica.
The film which is a remake of the 1959 film of the same name has a similar premise to that The Fly (1986) which is a remake of the classic 1958 film of the same name. The film is about a woman whom undergoes a terrifying transformation into a wasp like mutant creature.
