Buck Rogers is coming to the big screen in 3D with Paul W. S. Anderson (Resident Evil) directing. Iron Man scribes Art Marcum and Matt Holloway are at the writers desk on the project. This adaptation is described as “a new version of the classic tale of a fighter pilot who quickly acclimates to the future and puts his skills to use defending the planet against invaders.”
Paradox Entertainment, who is also backing the re-boot of Conan the Barbarian with Jason Momoa, is behind this project as well. Anderson is currently working on a re-make of The Three Musketeers and a prequel to Death Race, Death Race: Frankenstein Lives currently filming in South Africa.
This is the first big screen adaptation for Buck Rogers that began as a comic serial in the late 1920’s. Several television and radio adaptations have been made over the years, including an upcoming webseries from James Cawley.
