Paul W.S. Anderson (the “Resident Evil” franchise) has been attached to direct a big-screen version of “Buck Rogers”.

Slated to be released in 3D, the film featuring one of the first pop-culture sci-fi adventureers is being written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (“Iron Man”). Buck Rogers was created as a serial comic in the 1920′s and has been adapted into various media since then.

The new film is being described as “a new version of the classic tale of a fighter pilot who quickly acclimates to the future and puts his skills to use defending the planet against invaders” by Deadline New York.

Paradox will finance and Anderson’s partner, Jeremy Bolt is producing alongside Fredrik Malmberg, Larry Abramson and George Furla.
