Phantom getting Syfy Channel reimagining.
I saw this on another LJ, and just had to share...

And for legality, a comic strip from Dallas's Free Newsdaily the Quick on the casting of Brandon Routh as Superman.

	... Why would you take the Phantom and then remove everything that makes him special? The entire point is that he's based in africa (or India, depending, but it's mostly settled on Africa nowadays) a Phantom based in the US (which seems to be the case here) totally misses the point.

	Well, they kept everything that was special about the Phantom in the movie...too bad they added Billy Zane. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well it worked SO WELL with Flash Gordon. (Still bitter, and I don't even LIKE Flash Gordon). (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, I can see not wanting to tackle the potential racial issues inherent in a white savior to a black land. Of course, if you're not prepared to deal with that, I'm not sure why you'd even think to make a Phantom movie in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, i've always wanted to see a Phantom/Batman crossover. I think there could be lots of fun with that one, considering their similarities. (Reply to this)

	You have to question this ???It's the same Channel that saw something in that crapola Flash Gordon show.......... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	but its also the channel that gave us all three Stargates! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Flash Gordon was actually good after the mid-season re-tooling. Too little too late though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Scfi's Flash Gordon was possibly the only show worse than either Star Trek Voyager and Enterprise. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Who didn't laugh at his screaming "MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!"? I mean, I'm sure it's not as funny in context, but without seeing his face it just sounded silly. And that costume he wears? Yeah, that's even "dumber" then the original costume. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The irony that they actually went to the trouble of making a joke about how silly the old Phantom costume looked only to come up with something that looked even more ridiculous is indeed rich. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Second dumbest costume used on a live tv show. I'd still vote for Rex Smith's daredevil as the worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I inappropriately giggled too. Well at least Scyfy is trying something new again and it hasn't become wrestling and mansquito 24/7. They do ocassionally come up with something good. Although, the last time I liked something of theirs was Tinman. (Reply to this) (Parent)
