Apparently , the movie top banana at Sony do n’t watch the Sci Fi Channel ? How else to explain the announcement that Flash Gordon is direct back to the big screen so soon after the late and , let ’s confront it , kind of shitty TV version ?
you may see why the construct behind the quality excites hoi polloi : “ Sports poor boy ( to begin with a polo thespian , although for obvious reason that changed to football game thespian in almost every sequential incarnation ) and spunky reporter honey interest team up with kookie scientist to save the world from alien invasion ” vocalise like the one of the big ideas in the story of storytelling if it ’s done well . The only problem is that it ’s never been done that well – Even the ’ 80 rendering is remembered more for it ’s ( admittedly awesome ) soundtrack than anything to do with the book , acting or overall lineament of the moving-picture show . Although , really , ithas some swell dialogue .
The potential new movie version already has a manufacturer and theatre director bond . Do n’t get too optimistic , though ; it ’s Matthew McConaghey vehicle Sahara ’s Breck Eisner who wants to be the piece behind the television camera on this latest translation . ( Wannabe manufacturer Neal Moritz has more or less better credibility , having produced The Fast and The Furious , I Know What You Did Last Summer and , most significantly , Greg The Bunny . Hey , I said more or less good , okay ? ) . No writers are presently attached to the project , but expect the by - now - traditional Frank Miller rumor to start momentarily .
