Under natten och förmiddagen har det duggat in rapporter om att den gamla klassikern Buck Rogers in the 25th Century skall få sig en uppdatering med Frank Miller bakom spakarna. Jag gillar den gamla serien (följde den under den tid som sci-fi channel fortfarande fanns tillgängligt i sverige). Till skillnad från andra gånger då min första instinktiva reaktion är någon stans runt neeeej... så har jag inte så mycket emot den här (om den nu blir av). Det kan faktiskt bli riktigt bra.

Undrade också över det... det återstår väl och se. Det kan vara så att man valde och göra film när Bionic Woman misslyckades...

Frank Miller Not Directing Buck Rogers | /Film

Last week, IGN reported that director Frank Miller would follow-up The Spirit with a remake of Buck Rogers, the “campy ’80s sci-fi TV series” most people under 30 have never thought about. Turns out, the writer-producer of the Buck Rogers film, Flint Dille, says Miller is definitely not directing it, leaving Nu Image/Millenium on the prowl for a new “contender” to launch the 80-year-old character into the Oughts. Interestingly, Dille said that he would still like to “meddle” with his pal Miller in the future. So, we’re left wondering, was Miller in and now he’s not?

It was also said last week that the film’s special effects will be purposely shoddy, a running gag of sorts. In all fairness, this could very well prove to be a stroke of genius, but my mind has laughed a little all week imagining dumbfounded American audiences (Grindhouse?) and poorly designed poorly designed laser guns. I was bored. In canon, Buck Rogers takes place in the 25th Century after Rogers, a pilot/astronaut wakes up from a nasty coma. More info on the flick as we get it…

Buck Rogers: Buck Rogers Movie May Become Cheap Camp in Frank Miller's Hands

Posted Image
Hey, remember when we were told that Frank Miller was definitely not directing a new Buck Rogers movie? Looks like Flint Dille, one of the producers of the movie, was a little bit hasty when saying that Miller wasn't involved. The 25th Century may very soon be filled with futuristic femme fatales and unconvincing CGI backdrops.

According to IGN, Rogers was indeed the character that producer Deborah Del Prete was referring to, when she said that Miller's next project would be revamping a classic sci-fi hero. More worryingly than the news that we should probably expect a future full of vampy women who just love to pout at our brave hero/director stand-in is the end of the IGN article:

We originally reported that Buck Rogers would be budgeted in the $40 million range. The cheapness of the low-budget effects will be a running joke in the movie, which will retain the campiness of the 1980s TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

Frank Miller tries his hand at camp? This can't end well.

Frank Miller Helming Buck Rogers - ComingSoon.net
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
December 19, 2008

Frank Miller and Odd Lot Entertainment, the creator and production company behind upcoming The Spirit are close to teaming again on the classic sci-fi property Buck Rogers, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Odd Lot is in negotiations to option the rights to "Rogers" from Nu Image/Millennium, which obtained those rights this year from the Dille Trust. Millennium is expected to get a credit on the movie but won't be involved in day-to-day production.

Miller will write and direct his own big-screen take on the comic serial; while the creator has only begun to sketch ideas, it's expected to be a darker take, with many of Miller's signature visual elements and themes, such as corruption and redemption.

It's likely to be a priority project for Miller, though he has been mulling a Sin City sequel.

One of the first pop-culture vehicles to tackle the issue of space exploration, the story of Buck Rogers began life as a comic serial in the late 1920's and early '30's and has seen numerous film and television versions over the years.

Paul WS Anderson tar över Buck Rogers och den blir i 3D

Paul WS Anderson Directing Buck Rogers 3D | /Film

Posted Image

Remember when Frank Miller was set to direct a new Buck Rogers film? Then remember when The Spirit arrived, was a shambling mess, and tanked, after which news on the Frank Miller / Buck Rogers front went quiet really fast?

Well, a Buck Rogers revival is still in the cards, and I'll let you make the call about whether the new director is more or less likely to do it justice than Miller. Paul WS Anderson (Resident Evil, Death Race) has signed to direct the film.

Deadline reports the deal, saying that Anderson's film will be a 3D relaunch of the classic 25th century character. The site summarizes the story as that of "a fighter pilot who quickly acclimates to the future and puts his skills to use defending the planet against invaders."

Art Marcum and Matt Holloway will write the script for Paradox, the company that holds the rights to the character and is also behind the new Conan. No studio has signed yet, though once a script is drafted and talent starts to filter in, a sale isn't likely to be far behind. Whatever you think of Anderson, his movies are usually on budget, manage to make money, and generate franchies, so a studio sale is all but assured.

Buck Rogers was created in 1928 by Philip Nowlan. The basic premise is as follows: Rogers, a pilot/astronaut, falls into a coma, only to awaken in the twenty-fifth century. Best known from the long-running syndicated newspaper comic strip, Rogers also appeared in a 12-part 1939 movie serial, a 1979 television series, and in many other incarnations. The development of space technology in the twentieth century launched Buck Rogers into American pop culture.

Undrar om David Boreanaz får chansen att spela Buck Rogers?


Vet inte om det här nämnts på TV-forumet men det spelas in en Buck Rogers WEB serie som är gjord med licens. Skådespelare från original TV-serien medverkar också.

Tror jag skymtat webserie-nyheten i GR ett par gånger. Jag gillar ju den gamla tv-serien så jag följer båda produktionerna med intresse.
