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

Breck Eisner to Direct Flash Gordon

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
