James Cawley who heads up the Trek Phase II group (and plays Kirk on that series) is working on a new fan film series for "Buck Rogers." Filming and work has been going on for awhile now. He has even got Gil Gerard and Erin Gray to guest. Below is a poster and teaser for this upcoming web series.

That's a fan film? Not bad...that's Gil Gerard in the picture? Hardly recognize him.

Curses! I cannot see it from work. Anything with Erin Gray......ok in my book! I read she almost got the part of Janeway in Voyager (a better choice in my estimation).

It looks good. I'll definitely be watching it when it comes out.

That explains how he got Gil Gerard into a Trek shirt on a Phase II set.

If these are as good as those then I'll give them a watch.

Looks pretty good from what they have shown.. can't wait to see more. Do we know when it's going to premiere?

No set premiere date. Just sometime in 2010. I'll keep everyone posted.

I really dug Buck Rogers in the 25th century. It was so cheesey, but so cool at the same time. Man, the episode with the space vampire freaked me out. ewwww shudder!~

The ship looks nice but too hard to judge anything with what little is given in that clip. I'll check it out though as I am a fan of Buck Rogers. More a fan of the classic serial from the 1930s than I am a fan of the show though.

Cawley's productions are getting better and better. I'm looking foreward to checking this one out.

I'm more a fan of the Gerard series. I used love those one man fighters. I could never decid whether the BSG Vipers were better though.

This looks somewhat truer to the original. A bit more Flash Gordon like.

Yes, I think you are spot on - this seems more like the old Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe days) - not the early 80's one. "Flash! Ah-ahhh! Save everyone of us!!"

Can't get the Queen song out of my head now....great.

Good Lord, I saw that in the theaters as a kid and despite being young I still knew it was sh$t.
