Flash Gordon is back in action

Image For several years now, 20th Century Fox has been trying to make a new film about Flash Gordon. It looks like the major has finally found the perfect director for the film: Julius Avery will become him. The information portal Deadline writes about this.

Avery burst into the big movie world with the action Young Blood, starring Brenton Thwaites and Ewan McGregor. As a result, JJ Abrams invited the director to lead the production of Overlord, and soon viewers will be able to enjoy this hybrid of horror and thriller with Nazi zombies. Well, from the living dead, Avery will turn his attention to space travel.

Flash Gordon is a popular comic book hero who first appeared in print back in the 1930s. The original told about the character's space adventures and his struggle with the evil ruler of the planet Mongo, who dreamed of conquering the Earth. Flash Gordon has successfully migrated to both large and small screens, and one of the most famous films is the 1980 film starring Sam J. Jones. The hero last visited Syfy in 2007, but Flash Gordon only aired one season.

Previously, the director's chair of the project was supposed to be taken by Matthew Vaughn, but his idea for the film was too much like Guardians of the Galaxy. However, Vaughn will not stand aside: he is still listed as the producer of the picture. Avery, in turn, is a fan of the Flash Gordon comics and, apparently, his script application was liked by the bosses of 20th Century Fox.
