Flash Gordon is getting a live-action movie written by Taika Waititi now and fans are excited. John Davis and John Fox are aboard to produce according to Collider. They talked to the Jungle Crusie producer and he explained how the project had evolved over time. “Taika is writing it. It was a movie that was a huge influence on him growing up,” Davis said. “It is one of his favorite movies. He initially said to me, ‘Let’s do it animated.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ Then we got into it and started developing it and he said, ‘No, let’s do it live-action.’ I said, ‘Even better.’” Of course, the movie will be based on the 1930s comics drawn by Alex Raymond. In the 80s, fans were treated to Sam Jones in a wicked space adventure with Max von Sydow as Emperor Ming. Waititi was quite busy with both Thor: Love and Thunder alongside his Star Wars movie. But, Davis thinks that the director will always find time for Flash Gordon.
