2015 came and went and Don Murphy is still trying to get the Buck Rogers movie off of the ground.
Back in 2015 at San Diego Comic-Con, Don Murphy announced that he was going to take Buck Rogers to Hollywood, after believing that the 1929 novella, Armageddon 2419 A.D. by Phillip Francis Nowlan, was now public domain.
Several weird circumstances have gone down in court over the last few years to keep Murphy from obtaining the rights to make a Buck Rogers movie.
Armageddon 2419 A.D. introduced the Buck Rogers character as a coal mine inspector who wakes up from being in suspended animation after 500 years.
