    Matthew Vaughn may direct Flash Gordon reboot


    After the success of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Matthew Vaughn is in talks to direct 20th Century Fox's upcoming project ‘Flash Gordon.’ J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay penned the screenplay for this updated iteration. John Davis (Predator) and George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau) are attached as producers.


    ‘Flash Gordon’ was created by Alex
    Raymond in 1934. He began as a serialized comic strip that detailed his epic space adventures and his love life with romantic interest Dale Arden. His greatest enemy was Ming the Merciless from the planet Mongo.


    Vaughn is currently directing the sports drama Eddie the Eagle, starring Hugh Jackman and Kingsman's Taron Egerton. His other directing credits include X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass, and Stardust.
