Frank Miller's Buck Rogers...oh dear.

[roseembolism]

OK, now it's time for me to turn my nerd rage up to 11: Frank Miller to Direct "Buck Rogers" movie

I mean, I'm not even all that big a fan of Buck Rogers (though I used to like watching the serials), but I can only imagine what Mr. "Whores! Whores!  hoores! " will do to that classic SF property.

No wait, I don't have to.  The quote below tells me everything I need to know:

..."while the creator has only begun to sketch ideas, it's expected to be a darker take, with many of Miller's signature visual elements and themes, such as corruption and redemption. "

And whores of course.  Along with ninjas.  And ninja whores. 

*sigh*

Remember our conversation on Wed about 50's SF fiction on Mars? Yeah. Whoever loves that genre should do Buck. Oh, and maybe some Flash Gordon homages thrown in for reference for the main bad guy. Er, girl. But NOT Miller. *hurl*

I think it's important to not just have a fan of the property, but a fan who understands and respects the concepts. I'm sure Miller is a "fan", but I doubt he has the respect needed.
