Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn is in talks to direct 20th Century Fox’s planned Flash Gordon movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay (Star Trek 3) have been writing the script, based on a George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum) treatment (see "''Flash Gordon' Movie in the Works at Fox").
In addition to Kingsman, Vaughn also directed comic book adaptations of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class. He also has producer credits on Kick-Ass 2 and the upcoming Fantastic Four film.
The character’s popularity has endured for 70 years. Dynamite Entertainment has the comics license (see "Dynamite Announces New 'Flash Gordon' Comic” and "Preview: 'King: Flash Gordon' #1").
