He’ll Save Every One Of Us!! Producers Announced For 22 Episodes of SciFi’s FLASH GORDON!!
I am – Hercules!!
SciFi has named miniseries mavens Robert Halmi and Robert Halmi Jr. (“The 10th Kingdom,” “Dinotopia,” “Farscape,” “Earthsea,” “Supernova,” “The Poseidon Adventure”) to produce 22 episodes of its “Flash Gordon” series.
These guys aren’t writers, though, and they produced 26 TV projects in 2005, so the search for a showrunner presumably continues.

yep!

The Halmi's production company was promoting this as an upcoming project in a VARIETY ad last year...
-
Keep it real to the comic strip and serials. If Ming is reimagined to look less Asian, I'll be pissed.
-
by a giant penii-tailed woman's face with lipstick scorpion? I'd like to see that.
-
Man this could be the perfect flash tv series if Conran was to take it on!
-
The thought alone is making my willy burp!
-
Gordon!!!!!!!!!!!!!Who is this Gordon??????
-
He needs something to do.
-
Anyone?
-
But maybe it will suck very hard!

Wouldn't Star Whores be more up your street?
-
Twice I think (Julius Caesar and Hercules) so maybe we could get some good old fashioned Barin tri-pod kicking action!
-
Is there an air date for this? I will say it is interesting.
-
The Halmis are producing?! Wow, We all might as well get the drano and plunger out now and be prepared for the insanely large turd headed our way that will need instant flushing. Seriously, I salute these guys for one thing -- namely sort of living the dream of making a living in Hollywood and all that. But let's be honest. The Halmi productions ALWAYS have (1) truly, truly AWFUL acting courtesy of the absolute most cliched filled and hack-like scripts possible, not to mention the utmost SHITTIEST of effects. Seriously, the average Ninento or Xbox game has better rendering and design work. These guys succeed in pounding it out and collecting their money and that's ALL they have going for them. As a fan of old time sci fi and pulps and old movie serials and all that, I was REALLY hoping a Flash TV show would be tackled with at least SOME effort at making it a good show. But I can already write this piece of shit off now. Well, there's an hour of my life each week I've already gotten back.Although I will say this to be slightly positive. Talkbacker with no Name above actually posed a great notion. Let the Halmis just write a check and get the Hell out of the way and let a true uber geek like Conran who would have a deep rooted love for the property run the show entirely and then maybe...MAYBE...you'd have a salvageable situation.

Except I don't think that will ever happen, because I'm pretty sure they're both illiterate. See "Kingdom, The Tenth"

Marco Brambilla followed Demolition Man with Dinotopia
by talkbacker with no name
I wondered what happened to him.
-
Give it to Dr. Uwe!
-
So did I.He had pretty decent action chops. He obviously didn't blow whoever Brett Ratner did.
-
What plaything can you offer me today?"
"An obscure talkback in the AICN system, your majesty. The inhabitants call it 'Too Soon Gotta Eat.'" -
Have you no shame, man! This should be 1930's style all the way.
-
That it is of BSG quality but also suitably cheesy. A continuation of the movie would be fantastic!
-
I'm sure that is the way they will go. Shame is all i can say really.
This is who should do the soundtrack! AWESOME: It's comforting to know that no matter what you do in life it will never be as awesome as this picture. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/97/229141692_b979fe3c45.jpg -
Why not use the Queen theme? If not Queen then maybe something completely diffenerent, maybe instrumental.
-
Excuse my abuse of the English language *different*!
-
I loved the Filmation cartoon, which was just recently released on DVD. The Darkness or that band (I think they are called Muse) that had that Knights of Cydonia video. Any band that can combine Buck Rogers, Spaghetti Westerns, and Kung Fu rule.
-
Buck Rogers, Spaghetti Westerns and Kung Fu? Any SERIES that can combine those will definitely rule! Good call.
-
"Diiiiiiiiiiiive!"
-
....Hey if Galactica got cancelled, it could happen. It's a crazy world.
-
More half-nekkid space-chicks pleeese.
-
Ick.
-
Should complain if Galactica gets canned.
-
He needs work after SW: Ep.1

So many great oneliners I say to this day. "What do you mean Flash Gordon approching!" "It won't turn over! It won't turn over!" Which after a while starts to sound like, It won't chernobyl! "Aw well, who wants to live forever!" "But why do you attack us, we mean you no harm." Why not pathetic earthlings!, hurling your bodies into the void" "Show us this loyalty, throw yourself on to your sword." "Long Live Flash, you've saved your Earth" I always think it's gonna say, long live flash, you saved your ass! Does Max von sydow do the voice of that flying robot as well? I always wondered.
-
That music was pro. And that chick reporter who suddenly started to channel Dallas Cheerleader was classic also.
-
.....Enemies crumble in fear and confusion....
-
"The chef will be upset!"
-
why must BSG die in order for him to live? HUH? He can't save EVERYONE.
-
Who wanted Mark Hamill as Ming? AAARRRRRGGGGHHH
-
Hamill's Joker does rock. Got to give Luke props for that one.
-
That's the name of the song. By Queen. Queen does the entire soundtrack for that movie. People forget that. They think that they just throw Queen rock songs in there. No, they do the entire score. Every bit of music in that movie is done by the members of Queen. One of the few bands to ever do that for a movie. Oh and the reporter chick is played by Melody Anderson. I had such a crush on her as a kid. Still do, although she's lookin old these days, but damn was she sexy. I like when she removes her shoes and does cartwheels to avoid getting shot and zaps those screaming guards. Real weird, for a reporter she's real spunky. Anyway, since I have the entire Queen catalog. Here ya go, enjoy it and relive those Flash Gordon memories - http://tinyurl.com/yeun6a

When is this film gonna get the treatment it deserves? New Interviews with the cast. Queen, perhaps an old making of special, deleted scenes? Anamorphic. Deep Roy, my life as a pet. It's taken so long that it might have to be HI-DEF DVD. Yeah I know there's been Flash DVDs before and one released in the UK with some Audio Commentary and some photo slideshow, some generic stuff. I want a full treatment. Screw the haters. This cheeseball is part of my youth and I loves me cheese!

I found this online while checking out something about Timothy Dalton -- who by the way, since I don't think he's doing much of late, really would make for a kick-ass Dr Who if David Tennant does leave after next season (hint, hint to the BBC or at least more fan geek wishful casting). Anyway, this is from an interview with the co-writer and producer of HOT FUZZ, the new Simon Pegg comedy that Dalton has a role in.Conversation with Edgar Wright and Nick Frost by Chris Carle, Total Film Magazine...Q: What have been the highlights of filming and was there anyone you really liked working with?Wright: It's got such a crazy, amazing cast. It's weird when you get people you've admired for years and stuff, and suddenly you're working with them.Wright: It would be like a thing, especially with some of the people like Timothy Dalton or Edward Woodward or Jim Broadbent. You'd be doing a scene with them and just talking with them, and then you think, "F*** me, I can't believe the Equalizer is standing over there." It was a running joke. Timothy Dalton was such a trip. We loved working with him. He's one of those people where I'm almost more impressed by the fact that he was Prince Baron than the fact he was Bond. Me and Simon always had a running joke that whenever he would walk past, I'd say, "You know who that was? That's f***ing Prince Baron!"
-
Did you guys read the link? They're going to make the book into a miniseries? They'd better NOT mess with SNOW CRASH!!! (Didn't care for Diamond Age- though I think the very, very watered down).
-
...mercilessly.
-
...someone already said that.
-
I'll be happy as long as they don't cast Ben Browder as Flash. Or in any role in the series, at all. He's ruined enough shows already with his tired smart-aleck space-jockey shtick.
-
Post-Cyberpunk Brilliance!
-
...or at least Cap when they make a Captain America movie. I always thought it would be funny as hell to see Matthew McConaughey as Flash when they were talking about it in the nineties.
Now, if only it would open with air race between Flash and William Anthony Rogers, before Rogers has to go into orbit and save the world (of course being frozen for 500 years)... -
I hope it lights a fire under Lucas's ass to get the Star Wars Live Action Series going.
-
Please let in not be set in the 21st century, every fucking show is set in the modern world, make Flash stand out, set it in the 1930s...
NO FUCKING NEW YORK JETS, EITHER!
He's a polo player, you Douche!

How about Tracy Torme? Marc Scott Zicree? JMS?
-
That guy is the best writer on *Doctor Who*, and a Hugo Award Winner at that. Cherry pick him and Paul Cornell and you'll have two great writers already.
-
Just from a beat perspective - and no rap lyrics - what about The RZA? The beats at the credits of Blade3 were great.
-
Get the mad Welshman Jeff Minter to design some crazy visuals for any computer screens on the show. He's obsessed with llamas and his Virtual Light Machine from the Jaguar CD-Rom kicked all sorts of ass. Not to mention Tempest2000.
-
I am still holding out for Moffat to take over DOCTOR WHO intead of Matt Jones.
-
What about Rockne O'Bannon, though? After FARSCAPE, the dude has this formula down cold!
