Buck Rogers to the Big Screen?

 Print This Article |  Email This Article

It’s all in the very early stages, but there could be something in the works for a Buck Rogers movie.

Nu Image/Millennium Films has acquired film rights to “Buck Rogers,” and will give live action screen treatment to the venerable pilot who awakens in the 25th Century and battles evil.

Nu Image/Millennium’s Avi Lerner got the rights from the Dille Trust, which is run by the surviving family of series originator Frank Dille. Those rights had once been with Disney, but the Dille family was attracted to moving them to a small movie and gaining more control over the direction of the film. Despite web reports that Frank Miller had boarded the project, sources at Millennium disputed than any creatives had yet aligned to the project.

If they updated the series and made it a bit more serious and less “campy” then previous versions of Buck, then I think we could have the makings of something good. I’m pulling for Serenity star (and from FOX’s Drive which I’m still mad that was cancelled), Nathan Fillion. That would be awesome.
