BUCK ROGERS TEASER.wmv

[ttripp69]

Why are they not moving on this!!??

[StuntmanJake]

OK, now where is the series? I want to see more!

[philipbabb]

Neat.

[crrider12564]

Cool. Check out my giant killer robot project vids

[jdogg67333]

That was cool. Now where is the movie?

[gmansi]

@jdogg67333 The proyect fail to reach founds.

[6t8fk94jm97]

I liked the last 2 Buck Rogers series. But due to the recent remakes from hollywood, I don't know if I should be very excited, or hope it doesn't get made.

[Mr351Nova]

@6t8fk94jm97 Last 2 buck rogers series ? I only know of one , did i miss a remake ?

[6t8fk94jm97]

@Mr351Nova you probably saw the one from the 70s. There was a 12 or maybe 13 episode serial in the 40s or 50s, it was black and white, Buck Rogers (played by Buster Crabbe I think) was a blimp pilot and had a younger friend, Buddy I think. The 2 of them crashed and used an experimental stasis gas to stay alive, their blimp was covered in snow till the 25th century. The battle against the forces of Killer Kane, Wilma is also in this one. It was a comic book before that, I found one once.

[Mr351Nova]

@6t8fk94jm97 Ahhh , i did miss one back in the day .... I kind of would like to see that. thank you for that info.

[TJae1]

did this ever debut

[Anyhoodle7]

soooo cool >.<!

[bobbyrice]

hey, the guy playing buck rogers stole my name!!

[dudemanjac]

I don't know. Wasn't Farscape kinda Buck Rogers?

[Ralokone]

@dudemanjac no

[dudemanjac]

@Ralokone Same premise, if you think about it. An American astronaut whisked away to a fantastic setting and being forced to adapt to a strange cast of characters. Biggest difference is that There was no way for Buck to go back. Criton was doing everything he could to get back to earth.

[Ralokone]

@dudemanjac that is two different stories. Alot of literary stories can be broken down into simple archetypes.

Farscape, journey and the return (this happens alot in sci-fi and it angers me) which functioned more like, a stranger comes to town.

Buck Rodgers was just straight up, a stranger comes to down

I think, I am just trying to sound smarter than I really am :P

[luis6079]

Wow!! This is cool! Straight out of the original Sunday comic strips! Refreshing after the last 30 years of ships looking like they were rolled in model parts. I hear a Flash Gordon is coming out in 2012 in the same vein of this clip. Hope they do it well - visually it will be hard, since Star Wars ripped off so much from it.

Is this Buck Roger's clip part of a larger project? I'd love to see the whole thing!

[GARY42353]

i like this new buck rogers when is it coming out ?

i have the classic buck rogers dvd set from 1979 series it awesome

[mothanahussein83]

lookin good'. I'de give it a go.

[ReverendSyn]

Doesnt look like its going to be the least bit faithful to the TV show.

Everyone knows Buck's first name is "William", not Lucas. Says so right in the original shows creits.

[johnow7]

@ReverendSyn

Huh? It trying to be faithful to the original series/serial from the '30s.

[Enzo012]

@johnow7 Better that than the 70s version.

[johnow7]

@Enzo012 How about better than both versions?

[johnow7]

@Enzo012 How about being better than both old versions?

[luis6079]

@ReverendSyn Obviously trolling. If you knew such detailed trivia on the TV show, you'd understand this clip is a throwback to the comic strip.

[tomakalinus]

@ReverendSyn I think they're trying to be faithful to the comic strip, not the TV show.

[ysbaddaden2003]

@ReverendSyn

Actually his name was originally Anthony, so in the book Armageddon 2419 AD he was known primarily as Tony, until Philip Francis Nowlan, the writer was by John Flint Dille, president of the National Newspaper Service syndicate to rename him Buck for the comic strip drawn by Richard Calkins.

[HunterZolomon]

This art direction is superb! Why doesn't anyone make Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon in this style? They're not supposed to be gritty or realistic. Give me colorful, exotic, imaginative, outrageous costume and FUN!

[gmansi]

@McMahonHater Gil Gerard will play the father of Buck Rogers

[McMahonHater]

@gmansi Really, thats cool. I had always wanted them to do a show about Buck Rogers and Wilma Dearings daughter though. I thought that would have been a cool follow up to Gil and Erin's show.

[gmansi]

@McMahonHater

Take a look to this clip here you have Buck and Wilma as the fathers of the new Buck

Buck Rogers: Exclusive First Look!

youtube.com

watch?v=8YY0-lSg3-k

[BondoFox]

Okay. I'm impressed!

[bearclawed85]

reminds me of a mix between a 1960s batwing and the me 163 komet rocket plane

[ToykoRed]

I liked SyFy's Flash Gordon and Tin Man. If this new Buck Rogers is anything like SyFy's Flash Gordon you can know I'll be watching this program.

The trailer looks wonderful!

[RebekahReed54]

Thanks for uploading retroaccount! Great preview!

Stream the movie for free @ MOOV3ZON3.c3om (remove 333)

[danschaoticmind]

I'm such a nerd. My first thought upon seeing the ship was this:

1: How is that aerodynamically sound?

2: Those windows have got to weigh some 400 pounds.

3: how is one little jet with no apparent gimbaled going to be able to adjust thrust vector to achieve such maneuvers?

And then I nerded out hard...

[Marhleet]

@danschaoticmind hehe, you such a big nerd, lie back and enjoy biddy biddy!!!

[danschaoticmind]

@Marhleet Of course I am a nerd.

I fail to see how this is meant to be an insult. Furthermore, I passed up THe buck rogers bit. You...just don't mess with classics to be honest.

You know they wanna reboot highlander now?

[BlackMariaDownUnder]

Steve, there are the original 2 stories which appeared in Amazing Stories pulp mag in the 20's, the classic comic strip derived from this that ran until the 60's and revived in the 80's, the 1930's serial (and a rare promo film for the 30's toy range !), a 1950's TV series, the 80's tv series and the TSR game. There is also talk of a 3D movie version though I don't know how it will affect the Cawley project

[KellicJTiger]

*shrugs* I still love Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. If they can capture that feeling, I'm there. But for the love of god no Sci-fi channel Flash Gordon. That series was just horrid.

[sirgerry]

Wow, Hope it gets done and Gil returns to the series

[stevelatinner]

There are three versions in the Buck Rogers franchise. The 30's comic strip, which still persists as we see here, the 1979 show, and the TSR universe. All of them are entirely different interpretations. I prefer the TSR myself, only because it is one of the most comprehensive and realistic future realities ever created. I find the show version rather daft and cheesy, and the original comic too antiquated.

[chris14S]

Those were incredible effects, especially for a web series. This looks like it will be great.

[2infinty3]

I wish that there were like some ppl in the trailer!

[zathras9now]

Looks Cool!!!

[hogbensr]

Now this looks GOOD!!!!....I hope its not going to turn out like the last Indi movie... Indiana Jones and the mystery of the lost plot!

[JMYodaTHX]

Cawley Entertainment has done an impressive job with their Star Trek: New Voyages and this teaser has a "Sky Captain"-like retro-sci-fi look to so I'm excited! BTW

Kerry Conran NEEDS to do a Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers feature film. Or better yet, Commander Cody! It would be like The Rocketeer only much better.

[DAHstra]

Looks cute. Kind of a tribute to Flash Gordon. :) GO BOBBY!

[Akirajay38]

buck rogers debuted in 1928, flash gordon in 1934. if anything they both heavily influenced each other and pop culture.

[SpaceLady79]

Yes, this looks like it could be interesting.

I'm curious to see what an *actual* trailer will look like for this. :)

[zarapeth]

That looks just awesome; I really hope the whole production is as good as it looks on this teaser.

If you look at the early Buck Rogers comic strips & serials from the 1930's & 1940's you notice a huge influence on ideas used in Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.

[ghosst00]

This looks very promising:)

[nodonuts90711]

My parents talk about going to the movie theaters as kids to watch the movie serials, like Buck Rogers. I saw them on TV when I was a kid. This looks really promising.

[horsmn4]

Beedeebeedeebeedee!

[thinkgeek]

Cawley as in James Cawley?

[me2goodfoyou]

soo what is buck rogers?? it looks futuristically entertaining.

[JediKnightRockstar]

This look nice, and I hope Gil and everyone involved nothing but the best on this, BUT if there's no Twiki, no disco/Vegas clubs in space, no Legion Of Death, no Space Vampires, no football references to ship fight tactics, and no oversexed Ardala, then I probably won't watch. Sorry.

[wpardlow]

This is going back to the true original Buck Rogers of the pulp story Armageddon 2419 A.D. So no Twiki,disco/Vegas,Space Vampires, or any of the 70's conventions. But a oversexed Ardala might be workable.

[jayce79]

Very True. But Don't ya wish they could squeeze in Twiki for fun's sake though.

[Neville6000]

As much as I hate that show, I agree with you. I don't like retro stuff like this, and I wished that James Cawley had made the ships to look like something from 'Star Trek' instead. Nevertheless, this is the Buck Rogers that we all will be seeing, as the Frank Miller movie didn't go through at all.

[cinemakid]

I think you're in the minority in this one. I've been following several blogs and reading up on this and many people are pleased with the retro concept. Personally, I think it will be great.

[Neville6000]

Sorry, but I still disagree, and I won't be buying it either. I'd rather have a more modern version of Buck than this one, as great as the teaser is.

[Neville6000]

As much as I dislike that show, I agree with you-I don't care for this retro concept, either.

[asocialjester]

This isn't going to premiere on the Sci-fi channel is it??? I hope not

[Neville6000]

No, only on the 'Star Trek: New Voyages' website, and you have to pay for it this time.

[briball333333]

bedabebe

[Passionofthetaint]

Where is Wilma Deering?

[Neville6000]

She's in this version.

[Passionofthetaint]

Where is Capt. William "Buck" Rogers?

[Neville6000]

He's in it too!

[Passionofthetaint]

Where is Dr. Theopolis?

[Neville6000]

He's not in this show.

[Passionofthetaint]

Where is Twiki???

[ilnaras]

Biddibiddibiddi

[Passionofthetaint]

Ha Ha

[Neville6000]

He's not on this show, either.

[Neville6000]

He's not in it, either.

[Flap999]

Cool Ramjet engine!

[DarrenAdamsDoctor]

Looks great! Of course I'll need to see some action from live people to be convinced. Even so, a five star rating on this clip. And just based on that alone, I would be willing to pay to download the episode.

[freeze1305]

cause the picture looked like a space ship

[bloodurine]

Let's hope they don't have any of that futuristic music that was so prominent on the TV show.

[mrernie]

looks like a jaguar...

[grooth13]

who is buck rogers

[KristianCramer]

reminds me of duck dodgers

[IWalkOnBothFeet]

Duck Dodgers is a parody of Buck Rodgers you moron.

[KristianCramer]

sir/miss... dont you think i know that?.. im just stating that it reminds me of Duck Dodgers because i know the buck rogers name but have never seen the buck rogers tv-series or read the comics. i have on the opposite, seen almost all duck dodgers episodes, and therefore i relate more to the duck dodgers name...

but thanks for reminding me...

[MSunflower1991]

@IWalkOnBothFeet but still way better

[BigFatLoserDude]

@IWalkOnBothFeet hahaha "That's just redickalickalous!"

[Tamalain]

Rock on Phase II, Rock on!

[StormyWeather21]

SWEET!!!!

[jmisiur]

i watched this show religiously back in the day. look forward to watching it again.

[Neville6000]

This is not the same show as the 1979 show, you might be disappointed.

[ckg927]

@Neville6000 True. BUT both Gil Gerard & Erin Gray are going to be appearing in the webseries(as Buck's parents), and Erin's daughter will be playing Buck's girlfriend.

[Samrohn]

Oh this looks absolutely deliciously retro, I'm utterly stoked. Yay.

[Tomken8d2]

THAT'S how they would have done the original if they'd had the tedchnology!!

[jpwils0]

They didn't have the tedchnology, so they did the original just how they did it. Without the tedchnology.

[Tomken8d2]

jpwils0

Ever see the original?

You can see the strings the rocket hangs on.

Very low-tech

[ripcrimson]

Love the smoke rings coming from the exhaust, ala the original serials from the 30s. Great job!

[ge21947]

D'uh. I think it was proven decades ago that a bumblebee can NOT fly either. But, my practical experience has taught me that they do fly!

But, this is fun, is Sci-Fi, and in sci-fi things can be a bit implausible and not doable in real life!

[ovatharim]

seems similar to duck dodgers, that cartoon that came out semi recently that starred Daffy Duck.

but that was probably also a remake of an earlier idea.

[StormyWeather21]

are you serious? you do know that cartoon was a spoof of this right, please tell me your not serious?

[HipHopJun]

Lol he probably is serious. I had no idea about Buck Rogers until that South Park episode "Go God Go"

[gamer4christ]

Err... Didn't Buck Rogers fly a space shuttle in the original? This aircraft looks like something off the Jetsons or something.

[STFUwretch]

gamer4christ, you're thinking of the series from the '80s. Buck Rogers has been around in one form or another since the 30s.

[Neville6000]

In the 80's series, he did. This show has Buck Rogers coming out of the 1900's, so the tech is based on what people of that era thought the future was going to be.

[Doomfrost]

Youtube is loading everything so slow nowadays. Nice teaser.

[SuperSexyCommando]

everything old is new again

[Neville6000]

Sadly.

[dookdawg214]

Man, I used to love Buck Rogers. I fantasized about having sex with Hawk's wife. She was soooooo hot. I was like 10 years old, but I had such a crush on that lady. I wonder if Hawk will be in the movie.

[Neville6000]

This is a different version of Buck Rogers based on the old comic strip, not the 1970's/1980's TV show.

[ginito]

Aerodynamically, that ship would never be able to fly properly if it was made on real scale.

[average220]

debbie downer

[BigSwede7403]

Neither would the TIE fighter, X-Wing, Collonial Viper, the V ships... And so on and so forth. Your point being?

[ginito]

I already made my point clear, didn't you read the comment about aerodynamics?

[STFUwretch]

ginito, I think what people are trying to get across is that no one cares if the thing could fly or not. It's fun, it's crazy and it's based on the original styles of the time. It's not meant to be anywhere near real. Although, if you have so much knowledge of aerodynamics you have to admit that with the right computer system and materials it could stay aloft just like the early stealth fighter-bombers would have the flight angle of a milk bottle if it weren't for computers.

[vaasnaad]

@STFUwretch Not to mention that in the pulp series they had antigravity technology (as used in their jetpacks) that could have easily been adapted to keep even the most impossible flying craft aloft...

And dammit, it's about time we had sci-fi with big-ass Cadillac fins again! I do so love the classic feel in all that retro tech.

[BigSwede7403]

Yes i did, and expecting any kind of aerodynamic perfection on a one man spaceship in a Sci-Fi show is pointless. Might as well complain about the Star Trek shuttles which looks like whitpainted shoeboxes, and yet they fly due to some techno mumbojumbo.

[Gravija1980]

LOL the X-Wing Fighters, Tie Fighters and Shuttles (or whatever else you want to include) don't need aerodynamics because [gasp] there's no air in space! A giant cube ship will perform equal to a teardrop shaped ship if they have indentical propulsion mechanisms. There is no drag, friction or gravity in space.

Not sure if you're aware of that or not.

[me2goodfoyou]

they can also operate on earth.where there is drag and friction

[BigSwede7403]

And as it´s sci-fi we can always think up some technical stuff to explain why they can fly in atmosphere anyway. Like anti-gravity generators, morphable forcefields... just from the top of my head.

[bannedbyMusloons]

Aerodinamics are not required in Space just FYI even something looking like a shoebox literally will fly quite fast in space in fact...

[BigSwede7403]

Yes, i know this very well. But most smaller ships in sci-fi are atmosphere capable, even if aerodynamicaly unsound or downright impossible. Which can be easily explained with "Oh that´s because of the 'makeshitup' field generator which overrides the laws of physics when we feel like it".

Sci-Fi is funny that way, science gets very close to magic some times. ;)

[BigusGeekus]

We're talking pulp scifi here--things work by rule of cool, not the laws of physics.

[stuartskathren]

Wow, that's awesome. I'm really impressed, and I'm not normally ;)

[willfulsprite]

looks cool! how i wish studios would tap into the idea of doing classics retro style instead of modernizing everything

[Neville6000]

I don't, and I wish that a variation on 'Star Trek: Phase II' was used for the ships and other concepts of this version of Buck Rogers.

[Aeolusdallas]

Awesome

[TheJorgSacul]

Now THAT is what I call a teaser! MORE MORE!!

[LSnicket4]

Oh, this is absolutely lovely. Yes, this is what I do love. Retro science fiction is coming back!

[toolslave]

Definitely looking forward to this.

[pstproductions]

This 30 second trailer was far better then the entire run of the Sci-Fi, or is it SyFy now channels run of Flash Gordon... Can't wait for the series to drop

[alexcamargo]

That was seriously cool! Congrats, and godspeed.

[IlSisko]

Awesome! Can't wait!!!

[retroaccount]

His name is Lucas "Buck" Rogers. It was a creative choice for personal reasons! His father is William, brother is Anthony.

[VideoNitekatt]

@retroaccount

"Lucas" as in George? :)

[retroaccount]

No, not as in George.

[BatX]

right on, canNOT wait

[Pariah1974]

Why does that say L. Buck Rogers? Surely it doesn't stand for Lieutenant? Did they make his name "Larry" in honor of Buster Crabb, or am I just having a brain fart.

It looks cool tho!

[WildmanWoodie]

I thought the same thing, that "L" was surely a nod to Larry 'Buster' Crabbe. You weren't alone! Oh well!

[treksf]

Can't wait!

[awilliams1701]

Looks promising. I never saw the actual show, but since i like phase 2 so much i'm definately willing to give this a try.
