I absolutely loved Gil Gerard. I wanted to have this spaceman’s little Twiki babies. Did you know that Mel Blanc (the voice of WB’s Bugs Bunny characters) did the voice of little Twiki? I think I knew that a million years ago. How hot are those goofy tight fitting space suits? Erin Grey as Col. Deering was the hotness!

Looking forward to this remake, but only if Gil Gerard does a cameo!

Funny how this came around to something completely different.

Variety.com reports:

Buck Rogers is taking flight again, this time with Paul W.S. Anderson directing from a script by "Iron Man" co-writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. Buck Rogers, about a fighter pilot who awakens in the 25th century, is credited with helping turn outer space into a setting for exploration and action-adventure stories, and getting the public used to space-age technologies during the Space Race.
Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, but it will essentially revolve around a relatable present-day hero flung into the future.



As far as I'm concerned, really, the last thing Anderson did that was good was 'Event Horizon'. Everything else...meh. God willing this doesn't suck, but I know I'm asking too much.
