Frank Miller To Hopefully Not Ruin ‘Buck Rogers’

Frank Miller To Hopefully Not Ruin ‘Buck Rogers’

Hot off the heels of directing his first feature film (c’mon, we all know that on Sin City he basically just got to sit next to Robert Rodriguez while he was directing) The Spirit, it looks like graphic novel writer extraordinaire Frank Miller has his eye on another comic project to write and direct. No, it’s not one of his own (how many does he have left that haven’t already been spoken for?) but rather an adaptation of the classic 1930’s newspaper comic strip Buck Rogers.

However Miller’s version will be a lot different than the original:

“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.”

For the 7 Buck Rogers Fans Out There…

With all the re-imagining of older films, or series, it’s inevitable that as some franchises get snapped up, other studios look to the franchises that haven’t been snatched up yet and in this case, Buck Rogers is one of those franchises.

It’s being reported that Nu Image/Millennium Films has obtained the film rights to Buck Rogers, and is looking to give the franchise a live action shot at some screen treatment.

Up until now, the premise of the story which was first brought to the public in 1928, where the main character falls into a coma and woke up in the 25th century. In NBC’s version back in the early 80’s, he was flying a space shuttle and gets frozen in space until he is discovered and awakened in the 25th century.
