Buck-le Up

Director Paul W.S. Anderson is talking about his plans to bring space hero Buck Rogers back to the big-screen in a 3-D adventure

"I can't say we're leaning specifically on a story arc from the comic books or the newspaper strips or we're directly adapting the TV show or anything like that," Anderson told MTV.

The director has hopes that screenwriters Matt Holloway and Art Marcum will bring the "same originality" to the character of Buck as they did to Tony Stark in Iron Man

Anderson said he is "fascinated" at the prospect of "taking a contemporary, modern-day, very relatable character and flinging him into the far future. ... He is one of us and then he... goes on this amazing journey. That's what appeals to me about the... character."

Casting approach?

"It's a big movie star role. So that's the way we'll be positioning it," Anderson said.
