We start off this months TV news with details of Flash Gordon from the SCI FI Channel starring Eric Johnson
(Smallville) in the title role. The 22-hour series updates the comic-strip franchise and is slated for an August 2007 premiere. Johnson will play space-traveling adventurer Gordon, who is joined by companions Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov. Ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, they find themselves as Earth's last line of defense against the forces of the merciless dictator Ming.
Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Dr. Hans Zarkov are Earth's last defense against Ming—the tyrant of another world who wants to make Earth his next conquest.
Flash's father was lost years ago in a science-lab accident, and taken through a rift that deposited him on another world—Ming's world. This chance chain could result in the destruction of Earth.
Peter Hume wrote the first two episodes, with Rick Rosenthal (Smallville) as director. The production is located in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Canadian actor Johnson is perhaps best known for his role as Whitney Fordman on Smallville , a character he portrayed from 2001 to 2004.
Flash Gordon was created in 1934 as a King Features Syndicate comic strip by legendary cartoonist Alex Raymond, and has been in vogue on and off ever since in comics, TV, and movies.
