Frank Miller takes the helm for 'Buck Rogers' movie


After going back and forth, Frank Miller has agreed to direct a new 'Buck Rogers' flick. Miller back in May, fresh off his directorial debut for the movie adaptation for the classic comic book hero 'The Spirit', was rumored to be tapped for the 'Buck Rogers' project, but that rumor was squashed by Nu Image/Millennium Films' camp. Well, it's on now. IESB got this while at the 2008 Spike TV Scream Awards.
Deborah Del Prete, producer of Miller's upcoming solo directing debut The Spirit. Del Prete reportedly said that Miller "would be making an announcement soon" about a classic sci-fi hero that he was going to make a movie about.
I know that this movie will be more along the line of the old 'Buck Rogers' serials, but if Frank can just do me a solid, and incorporate 'Twiggy' from the 80's TV version.....biggy, biggy, biggy. Damn, that's my boy!
