Every so often, a film project comes around that makes you immediately exited. For us, news of a Taika Waititi helmed “Flash Gordon” was absolutely one of those things. Originally, this project for Disney was going to be an animated project, but that isn’t the case now.
According to “Jungle Cruise” producer John Davis, the film morphed from animated to LIVE ACTION!
“Taika is writing it. It was a movie that was a huge influence on him growing up. It is one of his favorite movies,” Davis said. “He initially said to me, ‘Let’s do it animated.’ Then we got into it and started developing it and he said, ‘No, let’s do it live-action.’ I said, ‘Even better.’”
Yup, us too. We are absolutely here for a live-action Waititi written (and directed, fingers crossed) “Flash Gordon.”

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
