According to THR, CBM fave Matthew Vaughn is in talks to direct Fox's remake (reboot, re-imagining... whatever) of Flash Gordon; the pulp comic strip hero who debuted back in the '30s. Most fans will remember the character from the cheesy, but entertaining '80s movie which featured the now iconic Queen soundtrack. This new take will be produced by John Davis and has up-and-coming scribes J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay on board to pen the script along with George Nolfi. Sony's Neal Moritz recently tried to get his own Flash Gordon flick off the ground, but to no avail.

So with a director in place (unless talks fall though that is), who do guys think would suit the roles of Flash, Dale Arden, Hans Zasrkov, Ming the Merciless, and possibly Lion-Man? Okay, so they probably won't go near that cartoon! Sound off in the usual spot.
