Director Stephen Sommers has been developing a new movie version of "Flash Gordon" for months, and now his partner, producer Bob Ducsay, is talking about where he sees the proposed film going.
Bob Ducsay, who produced "Van Helsing", told Now Playing Magazine.
"It in fact is actually going back to a lot more of the original source material for Flash and is not based on the 1980 movie. And tonally, as sort of broad entertainments as the films we make are, clearly we haven’t ever worked at that level of camp. So we’re not moving in that direction at all. There’s all kinds of material. There’s comics. There’s serials. So all of those things provide source material."
Also no director has signed up yet.
"Stephen is not committed to directing. What really happens is he comes across a screenplay, or he writes a screenplay, that he’s interested in. And it really always comes down to the script, and since these things are works in progress it’s really hard to say. For him as a director, I don’t think he’s really settled on what it is that he’s going to do next."
