Why Fark, Drudge and Huffington when you can Buzz!?Back in May we reported that director Breck Eisner would be bringing back Flash Gordon in another reboot of a classic franchise. It may not exactly be a reboot, per se, but considering that’s the latest buzz word in Hollywood, I’ll use it for now. Screenwriters Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless will pen the screenplay based primarily on Alex Raymond’s original comic strip that first debuted in the 1930s. Of course, most will also remember the 1980 film starring Sam J. Jones and Max von Sydow that recently got its own re-release on DVD. Considering no one has really ever demanded the return of Flash Gordon in any form, I’m not entirely I’m excited for this reboot just yet. Is anyone excited for this?
