Frank Miller is now signed on to direct a big-screen update of classic sci-fi comic serial Buck Rogers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Miller is also set to write the adaptation and has apparently already begun to sketch ideas for what the trades claim will be a "darker take," with many of Miller's signature visual elements and themes such as corruption and redemption.
With mainstream Hollywood films lacking in any real substance, and independant writers and directors really delivering qualitiy cinema, it's equally refreshing to see Frank Miller - who came up in teh comics industry - breathing new life into classic characters.
Also, for those wondering about Sin City 2, look for Miller's Buck Rogers to start filming first.
