Flash Gordon to get a rewrite from Thor scribe

January 19, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Back in April it was announced that Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class, Kingsman: The Secret Service) had entered talks with 20th Century Fox to direct the studio’s reboot of Flash Gordon, and now screenwriter Mark Protosevich (Thor) has announced on his Facebook page that he’s set to rewrite the script.

“I can’t wait to get started and if you’re curious about the take? I’m not saying a word,” states Protosevich (via HitFix). “All I’ll say is this – it will be nothing like any version of Flash Gordon you’ve seen.

The original draft for Flash Gordon was written by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay (Star Trek Beyond), from a treatment by George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau).
