New Buck Rogers film?

[Chris3123]

Miller's theatrical film (assuming it gets made) isn't the only Buck Rogers revival you'll get to see. James Cawley, the guy behind the fan film series Star Trek New Voyages/Phase II is currently working on a Buck Rogers internet series. He was even able to get Gil Gerard to join the cast (not as Buck though, of course)! Official website

Seeing how good Rachel Nichols looks as Scarlet in that skin-tight uniform on the GI Joe poster I think she'd squeeze into Wilma's skintight outfights quite nicely.

Oh, I'd definitely pay money to see that!

Off topic, but I saw Gil Gerard on the Discovery Health Channel yesterday. In Action Hero Makeover we follow him from a morbidly obese 355 lbs to around 200 lbs after gastric surgery. He looks good again and deserves our congratulations.

Anyway, so I go on-line to IMDb and look up the show to check a few actors (and Erin Grey) and I see IMDb has an entry for a Buck Rogers film? (I guess) for a 2011 release. Anybody hear anything about this?

Bucks creator died in 1940, which makes 2010 the 70th anniversary of the death of the creator. Shouldnt Buck be Public Domain when that happens? Not sure about that. Maybe the date is not a coincidence.

Jill Wagner as Wilma!

Oh yeah...never thought of her...she'd be great. Even has a bit of Erin Grey look to her too.

And as for another possible Buck casting, how about Joe Flannigan...he ain't doing much lately is he?

Damn. That's pretty impressive.

Congratulations, indeed.

This does not bode well:

The new "Buck Rogers" will be budgeted at around 40 million and will feature conspicuously low-tech special effects. These cheap FX will be a running gag through the film, borrowing from the campy feel of the 1979 TV show.

Can anyone see Will Ferrel making an appearance?

But surely the show wasn't camp in the 70s?

That was their culture's version of classy?

They didn't know no better.
