In a recent interview with Movieweb.com, Timothy Olyphant discusses his work on "The Crazies," his new television show "Justified," which airs on FX beginning this month and mosti importantly...Flash Gordon!

Breack Eisner, who just released "The Crazies" remake, which starred Olyphant, will be working on a reboot of the ever popular "Flash Gordon" for his next project. This from the article:

"We followed up by asking him if he had possibly talked with Eisner about playing Flash Gordon, as the actor would make a great Flash! The actor simply smiled and said, 'Thanks I appreciate that,' indicating that he might be up for the role. Is that a character that you would be interested in playing, we asked Olyphant? 'Does it pay?' he replied. That's something he'll have to take up with Eisner."

Olyphant also discusses a sequel to the some-what successful "The Crazies" film as well as the possibilty of bring his hit series "Deadwood" back tot he screen. Click the link for more of the article.

ecksmanfan: Typically, when actors dodge the subject like he did, they are hiding something. I think I like this idea. Olyphant is a good actor and getting better with each project. What do you think?

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!
