All the way back in December there were reports that "The Phantom" was getting a reboot. Check it out in one of my earlier posts here.
Now according to The Hollywood Reporter, the Sci Fi channel (sooned to be changed to Syfy) will have a "Phantom" miniseries.
"'Phantom' has been adapted a few times without much success, but Robert Halmi Jr., president and CEO of RHI entertainment, 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.
Sci Fi appreciates that the crusader doesn't have superpowers and is more in the grounded vein of Iron Man and Batman. 'It's not a guy in purple tights,' said Mark Stern, Sci Fi Channel executive vp of original programming."
Sounds interesting. Bringing "Phantom" to television may play out better than bringing him back to theaters.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
