It looks as though a new Flash Gordon film is coming soon to our Theatre Screens. Bring it on!

Sony's Columbia Pictures is in early talks to acquire the film rights for a big-screen adaptation of Flash Gordon that Breck Eisner would direct and Neal Moritz would produce. Eisner would also executive produce, says The Hollywood Reporter. The trade says:
"Flash" was originally a science fiction newspaper comic strip drawn by Alex Raymond in the 1930s and was created to compete with another sci-fi strip, "Buck Rogers." The strip was first adapted to the screen via Buster Crabbe serials and made into a lavish 1980 film starring Sam Jones but remembered more for its Queen score.
Flash was a sports player who travels to the planet Mongo with his lady love, Dale Arden, and the mad scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. There, they discover a world ruled by Ming the Merciless and meet strange inhabitants such as the Hawkmen and the Sharkmen.
There are no writers on board the project yet |

I hope its more like the comic book similiar to the 1980 film version but better acting except Max Von Sydow and Brian Blessed. Not like that stupid crap Sci-Fi Channel series. I read the comic book at school and sometimes in the newspaper.
I was really disappointed with that Sci-Fi Channel series  |
