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.
