\"Buck<\/a>Hack director Paul WS Anderson has landed the job of directing a 3D adaptation of the classic comic strip adventure hero Buck Rogers<\/em>. Anderson’s previous crimes against humanity and cinema include the 1995 Mortal Kombat<\/strong>, Event Horizon<\/strong>, Soldier<\/strong> and the first Alien Vs. Predator<\/strong> movie.<\/p>\n

Iron Man<\/strong> writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway are set to write the screenplay of a World War One veteran who goes into suspended animation in the 1920s and awakens 2419 in time to help fight to free America from an invasion from a foreign country. Buck Rogers has already had adventures in a 12-part serial starring Buster Crabbe, a radio series and two television series. Previously, Frank Miller had been attached to direct.<\/p>\n

I have to admit that the character of Buck Rogers does hold a special place in my geek heart. In creator Philip Frances Nowlan’s original 1928 novella Armageddon 2419 AD<\/em>, Buck was inspecting a mine in 1927 for the American Radioactive Gas Corporation when he was trapped in a cave-in and went into suspended animation for nearly five centuries. The mine was located in the Wyoming Valley, a section of the northeast corner of Pennsylvania and which houses the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. It also happens to be the region where I spent much of my adolescence and from where FilmBuffOnline is based. (The daily comic strip which would appear a year later would change the mine’s location to near Pittsburgh.)<\/p>\n
