Frank Miller to Adapt "Buck Rogers"Posted: December 19th, 2008 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  Frank Miller and Odd Lot Entertainment, the creator and production company behind the upcoming comic-book adventure "The Spirit," are close to teaming again on the classic sci-fi property "Buck Rogers."
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.
ABC had a TV series in the '50s, and NBC produced a feature film and TV series in the late '70s and early '80s, which imagined the space explorer as someone who woke up in the 25th century to find Earth destroyed and was then consigned to roam distant planets.

Why are they giving the comic writer these high budget movies when his debut has yet to release. What if he is box office POISON?

Just as long as he gets Sin City 2 done first, then he can do this inbetween Sin City 3

I reeeeally think they ought to wait to see how THE SPIRIT does before even ENTERING into talks about this. Everything I've heard about THE SPIRIT has thus far been perfect crap.
