Flash Gordon - The Series
A 22-hour series is set to debut in the USA in August (I would assume that's 22 x 1 hour episodes) - since it's on Sci-Fi I would expect it to make it's way to the UK later in the year as well.

Re: Flash Gordon - The Series
Cool, but I bet it wount be a patch on the film, you can't beat cheesy 70,s sci-fi.

Re: Flash Gordon - The Series
General Kala - Flash Gordon approaching!
- What do you mean, Flash Gordon approaching?!
On a Hawkman rocket cycle. Shall I inform his Majesty?
- Imbicile! The Emperor would shoot you for interrupting his wedding with this news. Fire when Gordon's in range!
(FLASH! Aa-Aaah! He's a miracle!)
The first LP I ever bought. Absolutely unbeatably superb. No-one but Queen could have carried it off.

Re: Flash Gordon - The Series
I still have the movie on Laserdisc. Its great to watch every so often.
I do remember the 1930s series when bbc1 used to show it around 6-7am years ago

Re: Flash Gordon - The Series
The film was also a minor renaissance for Peter Wyngarde ... famous in the late 60s and early 70s as Jason King - the author-turned-detective Mike Myers drew on as inspiration for Austin Powers
Although in Flash Gordon he looked like this:
Klytus, I'm bored! What plaything can you offer me today?

Re: Flash Gordon - The Series
Class,
I have always wondered why FG hasnt been given the big budget remake yet. Maybe it's because the original was so cheesily good.

Re-making a classic sci-fi series is always going to be a big risk, but they've shown it can be done with BSG ... I wouldn't be surprised if we get a slew of remakes over the next few years.
