Frank Miller will write and direct a film based on the Buck Rogers property, according to Hollywood Reporter. Odd Lot is picking up the rights from Nu Image/Millenium, which acquired them from the Dille Trust earlier this year (see “Buck Rogers Movie Rights”). No word on whether Buck Rogers would come before or after the long-awaited Sin City 2.
Dynamite has comic rights (see “Dynamite Doesn’t Pass on this Buck”) and Hermes is doing reprints of the newspaper strip.
