    He's looking at you, Buck.
    He's looking at you, Buck.
    Buck Rogers has been around since the 1920s.  It started off as a comic series and then became different movies and television shows.  I really got into the television series from the late 70s/early 80s. 

    It seems that Frank and Odd Lot Entertainment are currently in negotiations to get the rights to make a movie. 

    According to the Hollywood Reporter:
    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.

    The story of Buck Rogers deals with an astronaut from the 20th Century getting frozen in time and waking up in the 25th Century.  A big budget live-action movie could be cool.  I do have to admit that I'm a little scared of how this could turn out.  I do respect Frank Miller's work but what he's done on All StarBatman and Robin worries me a little.  The early reviews for the Spirit haven't been too great either.

    There was talk of a Buck Rogers comic recently but I haven't heard anything since.  This project could make that happen.

    I was talking about the announcement I posted back in March that Dynamite Entertainment picked up the rights.  Doesn't seem like anything came out of it so far unless I majorly missed it.

    I'm assuming that comic was more based on the original property versus the awesome tv show.

    which comic...

    the new one might be the new property, but the comic from 88(?) was based on the TV show... you could tell from the way the characters were drawn

    I meant the one that Dynamite had planned.  There's no mention on their site either.  Wonder if they lost the license.

    So is the 25th Century.  Seems there's no place (or time) to hide.
