    The Phantom

    SCI FI Developing The Phantom

    The Hollywood Reporter says that SCI FI Channel (soon to be Syfy) has greenlighted a fresh take on the comic book "The Phantom." The project will be a four-hour movie from production company RHI Entertainment.

    "The Phantom" will be under consideration for a series order contingent on drawing a large enough audience.

    "Phantom" has been adapted a few times without much success, but Halmi said the previous stumbles are a good reason to try again.

    "That there hasn't been a successful 'Phantom' leaves the door wide open for us, since nobody has made it their own yet," Halmi said.

    "The Phantom" is expected to hit the channel next year.

    Might be interesting but not sure how you turn it into a series, and have the kind of scenes people have come to expect in comic book adaptions, especially on the scifi oops sorry syfy network budgets.
    I think it will need to be dark.

        They did The Phantom in 96 with Billy Zane. It failed then and it will fail now. Hes an outdated comic character.

          I remember liking that movie back then. It has been forever since I've seen it though.

            I think I might have to re-watch it. It left a bad taste in my mouth the last time I seen it.

            Actually, I did like it back then. Hell, I watched Phantom 2040 cartoon. I even had one of those skull rings, not because I was a super fan but because it looked cool lol.

            But really, theres only so much you can do with it now-a-days. He just isn't that interesting as a superhero.

              I guess we'll just have to see what they can come up with.

                  Additional Casting

                  In The Phantom, Isabella Rossellini guest-stars as the villainous Lithia, the head of an experimental mind-control program. Also starring are Cameron Goodman as Chris Walker's love interest, Renny, and Sandrine Holt (24) as the Phantom's trusted advisor, Guran.

                  A favorite costumed hero for more than six decades, the Phantom relies on his wits, physical strength and skill with weapons over superhuman powers

                        I wasn't too fond of the character design in a previous post, but I loved how they made reference to the original outfit` and I can completely understand why he'd not want to wear it. It doesn't look too bad though, so I may give it a watch should I remember about it when released.
