Sony wins Flash Gordon bidding war
Studio nabs rights for live-action film
> A spirited bidding battle for the `30s comic strip Flash Gordon has ended with Sony negotiating with Hearst for the rights to make a live action film. Breck Eisner ("Sahara") is attached to direct. Neal Moritz will produce through Original Films.
Deal being negotiated is high six figures against seven figures if the film gets made
In the original incarnation, Flash Gordon was a handsome polo player who is kidnapped and taken to the planet Mongo, where he is pitted against an evil ruler named Ming the Merciless.
Post "Iron Man," studios are showing a heightened appetite for franchise-able branded fare, and the intention is to hatch an edgy incarnation of the classic serial.

Needs Brian Blessed.
I think "wins" is too strong of word for this.
Fuck yes. But as we all know ... everything is made more awesome with Brian Blessed.Originally Posted by NickT
Indeed it is. If he had made this thread, he'd have been all "Some said the project was dead, but no, GORDON'S ALIVE!!!!!"
