Frank Miller’s Buck Rogers In The 21st Century?

May 9, 2008

Nu Image/Millennium Films has acquired film rights to “Buck Rogers,” and will give live action screen treatment to the venerable pilot who awakens in the 25th Century and battles evil.

Nu Image/Millennium’s Avi Lerner got the rights from the Dille Trust, which is run by the surviving family of series originator Frank Dille. Those rights had once been with Disney, but the Dille family was attracted to moving them to a small movie and gaining more control over the direction of the film. Despite web reports that Frank Miller had boarded the project, sources at Millennium disputed than any creatives had yet aligned to the project.
