Sony to Bring Flash Gordon Back to the Big Screen | Movie News | 5/21/2008
Sony Pictures has won a heated bidding war over the rights to make another live-action film based on the 1930s comic strip Flash Gordon.According to Variety, the deal being negotiated is in the high six-figure range. Breck Eisner (Sahara) is attached to direct and Neal Moritz will produce.The comic strip, created by Alex Raymond, followed a polo player who is kidnapped and taken to Planet Mongo where he battles Ming the Merciless. The strip was adapted in a 1980 film starring Sam Jones, and has seen several incarnations on television, most recently in Sci Fi's 2007 series starring Eric Johnson. — Adam Bryant read more
Ask Matt | 1/25/2008
I heard a rumor that Sci Fi is thinking about renewing Flash Gordon, despite the lousy ratings and being a lousy show, because of its cult following. It seems a little strange to me that they would renew such a downright awful show when The Dresden Files, which was much better and had much better ratings, lingers on without renewal even though there are lots of fans out there asking (and even begging) for it. If any show deserves renewal, it's Dresden, not Gordon. Is there any truth to this ... read more

What's the "Dale" with Flash Gordon's Gina Holden? | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/7/2007
Sure, many actors from other countries are coming to the United States to act, but Gina Holden isn't among them. The actress is too busy working up in her native Canada not only in her role as Dale Arden ? aka the true love of Flash Gordon (Fridays at 9 pm/ET, on Sci Fi Channel) ? but she also appears in Lifetime's Blood Ties as a Goth mystery solver. Holden has two upcoming films as well, playing opposite Supernatural's Jared Padalecki and also braving an Aliens sequel. TVGuide.com asked ... read more
Ask Matt | 9/3/2007
I'm really not enjoying Flash Gordon, which surprises me, because I really want to like it. I have happy childhood memories of watching the Flash Gordon cartoon, and as cheesy as it was, I thought the movie with the Queen theme song was wonderful. But this show has left me cold. The premiere took a ridiculously long time to get from Earth to Mongo, and it's not as if all that time was dedicated to developing the characters, since they seem to have the emotional depth of cardboard. And why does . read more
