flashgordon_tn Columbia may develop a feature-film update and reboot of Flash Gordon and has entered talks to acquire the film rights, with Breck Eisner attached to direct and Neal Moritz set to produce, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Eisner also will executive-produce.

Flash originally was a science fiction newspaper comic strip drawn by Alex Raymond in the 1930s, was first adapted to the screen in the form of Buster Crabbe serials and was made into a 1980 film starring Sam Jones.

SCI FI Channel mounted the most recent adaptation, a TV series starring Eric Johnson.

No writers are on board to adapt the proposed movie.
