    Flash Gordon TV series?

    Wow! http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/755/755140p1.html
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Isn't George Lucas supposed to be getting a Star Wars TV show going? If it's around the same time as Flash Gordon, they'll be giving each other a run for their money.

    Looks promising but they need to get one hell of a charasmatic Flash for it to be a success.

    Even if the Star Wars series was a pile of dog s**t, it would still win every time. No fanboy ranting here, just the truth.

    No thanks. As much as I love Queen, that song sucked balls.

    C'mon cap, that's one of the charms of the movie. Of course it's cheesy.

    What's the betting that someone from American Pie or some other crap is gonna be in it. They best get Brian Blessed back as Prince Vultan, he could still do the role now...

    Yeah, it's one of those guilty pleasures... and what the hell happened to Sam J. Jones who played Flash? I thought he was gonna be the new Harrison Ford (both being the latest sci-fi heroes at the time) but the dude dropped off the radar altogether.

    I wonder if it's going to be played serious or comic book/hammy?

    I suspect pretty serious!

    Well, I'm thinking they will probably try to emulate the feel of the movie but with slighty smuttier tones, not dissimilar to the soft-core remake Flesh Gordon. It's a shame really because I would like to see a fully fledged sequel to the movie. Okay, Sam Jones and Melody Anderson might be a little too craggy to reprise their roles but damn, Brian Blessed, Timothy Dalton, hell even Max Von Sydow as Ming could all pull it off again. Get the remaining three members of Queen in to re-jig the score, with a possible 'Flash' remix and they would have my money right there.
