Stephen Sommers's business partner, Bob Ducsay, is talking about where he sees the proposed new big screen version of "Flash Gordon" is going and he stated to Now Playing Magazine that it is definitely not being approached in the tongue in cheek way the previous film version was:
"We're in the process of developing it. It in fact is actually going back to a lot more of the original source material for Flash and is not based on the 1980 movie. And tonally, as sort of broad entertainments as the films we make are, clearly we haven't ever worked at that level of camp. So we're not moving in that direction at all. There's all kinds of material. There's comics. There's serials. So all of those things provide source material."
Will Sommers helm it? "[Stephen] is not committed to directing. What really happens is he comes across a screenplay, or he writes a screenplay, that he's interested in. And it really always comes down to the script, and since these things are works in progress it's really hard to say. For him as a director, I don't think he's really settled on what it is that he's going to do next."
