THE SPIRIT's Frank Miller To Write And Direct New Big-Screen Version Of BUCK ROGERS!!

I am – Hercules!!
Frank Miller plans to write and direct a new big-screen version of “Buck Rogers” for the same team of producers behind “The Spirit.” From The Hollywood Reporter:

… 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 character, a 20th century Rip Van Winkle who wakes up after a five-century nap, began life in the 1928 Philip Francis Nowlan novella "Armageddon 2419 A.D." Find all of the Reporter’s story on the matter here.
