Die Story dieses Helden wurde bereits mehrfach verfilmt, zuletzt Anfang der 80er Jahre als Fernsehserie.

I'm not convinced Miller can pull off campy (see Robocop 3) but I much prefer someone like Miller over a hack artist like Brett Ratner or Michael Bay.

He's just gonna make some more line by line frame by frame copying of the comic into a film format. What's the fun in that? At least in a Buck Rogers remake, it's Miller re-inventing a character, a new story, fresh visuals (hopefully not in black and white). If he's only going to put in half the intensity he put into Ths Dark Knight, it should still be a hell of a good flick.

Ich bin ja allgemein kein Fan dieses Remake-Wahnsinns, aber wenn etwas nach einer Neu-Auflage schreit, dann ist es Buck Rogers. Davon habe ich mir ja neulich erst die DVD-Box gekauft, aus rein nostalgischen Gründen, denn jetzt mal ehrlich: die Serie aus den 80ern war dermaßen grottig… ich bin gespannt, wenn sich das Gerücht bestätigen sollte, was einer wie Miller aus dem Stoff machen kann. Wahrscheinlich ein Schwarz/Weißes-Retrofuturismus-Abenteuer angesiedelt in den 50ern. Nu Image/Millennium Films plans to develop a $40 million film with genre veteran Flint Dille, who penned a Buck Rogers graphic novel in the 1990s, attached to write and produce. The current plan is to turn “the cheapness of the low-budget effects will be a running joke in the movie, which will retain the campiness of the 1980s TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century starring Gil Gerard.” (/Film) [...] [...] Noch ist es nicht offiziell, aber die Grüchteküche brodelt: Frank Miller soll nach Beendigung der Arbeit an „The Spirit“ die Regie bei einer Neuverfilmung von „Buck Rogers“ übernehmen.
