FLASH! Ahhhh-ahhhhh! King of the Impossible!! Savior of the Universe!!

AICN reports:

A couple of details on SciFi’s upcoming “Flash Gordon” series, from a recent story in The Hollywood Reporter:

* Despite earlier reports that suggested Chris Showerman (“George of the Jungle 2”) was up for the title role, it’s actually Eric Johnson – who played Lana’s jock boyfriend Whitney in the first season of “Smallville” – who will play Flash.

* More importantly, former “Charmed” writer/supervising producer Peter Hume – whose other credits include “Relic Hunter” and “South Beach” - has written the first two hours, so one assumes he will serve also as showrunner.

SciFi has ordered a 22-episode first season for the series, slated to premiere in August.

1. I hope it's cool like Buffy and not lame like Charmed.

Remember that awful syndicated "Sinbad" a few years ago? Ugh! I fear the worst with this one. FG could be good if done right, seriously bad if not in the right hands...especially with the hawkmen.
