Frank Miller to Make Buck Rogers

In a story from The Hollywood Reporter, it looks like Frank Miller and Odd Lot Entertainment will be getting together to make Buck Rogers.

Odd Lot's Gigi Pritzker and Deborah Del Prete are currently talking to Nu Image/Millennium about obtaining the rights to the property.

The plan is for Miller to write and direct this project. With him at the helm the movie is expected to be darker than other versions. The thought is that this new project could take precedence over the proposed Sin City 2 sequel.

Initially Buck Rogers started "as a comic serial in the late 1920's and early '30's" but it has undergone many incarnations over the years.
