The Crazies director Breck Eisner has been talking to Airlock Alpha about his plans for the Flash Gordon reboot.

In particular he was keen to stress that he and his team will be taking their inspiration from the 1930’s Alex Raymond comic strip and not the campy 80’s cheese-fest…

“Our version goes back to strips from ’30s and we will update those and shoot the movie as if the strips were drawn today. It will be an action and adventure sci-fi,”

Eisner also went on to reveal that while his movie will be a standalone story, his dream is to turn Flash Gordon in to a blockbuster Hollywood franchise…

“It will be a standalone story, it definitely won’t [be] left open for more, but the ultimate goal is to turn it into a franchise. It will be an origins story for Flash. He’s going to Mongo, he’s gonna save the planet and it will have a superhero buy in and will be unique. It is very much a superhero origins story.”
