Proving once and for all that Hollywood has completely given up on new ideas, another remake of Buck Rogers has just been announced. Nu Image/Millenium, the group behind the revival of Rambo (and, it’s rumored, Conan the Barbarian) is producing.
In his original 1928 incarnation, Buck was a U.S. military pilot who fell into a 500-year coma after being exposed to a mysterious gas. He was upgraded to cryogenically-suspended astronaut for the 1980s TV version. No word on his profession or how he gets to the 25th Century this time ’round.
This would be a good time to buy stock in spandex.
One response to “BidiBidiBidi….”
Given the increasingly irrelevant nature of this character to the modern genre, I think we need to consider Harry Truman’s well-known aphorism.
