There is a new Flash Gordon movie ahead. And it won’t be cheesy like the 1980 version: Director Breck Eisner (whose movie ‘The Crazies‘ will be released in February) will be in charge of the project, and he’s likely to do for Flash Gordon what Christopher Nolan did for the Batman movie franchise with batman Begins.
Plot:
“American football player Flash Gordon and his beautiful girlfriend Dale Arden become unwillingly passengers on-board Dr. Hans Zarkov’s rocket-ship, where they arrive on the planet Mongo, ruled by the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless.”
Breck Eisner’s take on Flash Gordon promises indeed to be a darker version filled with adventure and action:
Now, if only Breck Eisner could learn from James Cameron’s experience on the movie Avatar, then the movie Flash Gordon would be damn awesome! Just imagine Flash Gordon’s epic journey on the planet Mongo in 3D and in IMAX, how fantastic it would be!
The movie Flash Gordon should be released sometime in 2012. Hope to get more information soon!
