Frank Miller to F**k Up Buck Rogers Next
I’m sure Robert Rodriguez had the best of intentions when he gave Sin City creator Frank Miller a co-director title on the Sin City movie. Yet he did the movie-going public a terrible disservice, which allowed miller to make his highly anticipated Spirit parody film, and now, because the Spirit hasn’t come out and tanked yet, it looks like he’s going to lock down another job: directing the Buck Rogers movie. From THR:
Miller will write and direct his own big-screen take on the comic
serial; while the creator has only begun to sketch ideas, it’s
expected to be a darker take, with many of Miller’s signature
visual elements and themes, such as corruption and redemption. It’s likely to be a priority project for Miller, though he has been
mulling a “Sin City” sequel.
Well, fuckbuckets. So what do you think–all black and white, with the only colors being the laser blasts? Twiki played by Jaime King? I’m trying to think of something funny, but I’m pretty this is all shit Miller is already planning for the film.
