Hi Everyone,
I've been checking out some of those rumors involving Disney, possibly
making a Buck Rogers film. Their propossed plotline seem to be taken
from the TSR series of books. A pilot flying an experimental
interceptor destroys incomming missles in the outer atmospere. His
fighter is too damaged to continue so he ejects using a crogenic
escape pod. Several hundred years laters he is unthawed to battle evil
intergalactic conglomerites. It sounds like they are going to be doing
a lot of that Communism good individualism bad preaching so many
movies do now a days. That is if they ever get it off the ground.
Unfortunately that is almost the exact reverse of the original intent
of the Buck Rogers books and series. We can only prayer that they be
granted a revelation to open their eyes, or the studio gets hit by
lightning. When will they realize the fans will not swallow just
anything they slap a familiar name on?
