'Flash Gordon' Gets New Writers?

In other words "GORDON'S ALIVE?" Well if this news is true possibly. A site called Film Divider is reporting that screenwriters J D Payne and Patrick McKay are attached to a reboot of the space hero. According to the site the writers plan to move away from the campy 1980 film and towards a more serious take on Alex Raymond's character. The pair had previously been announced as writers for the next Star Trek film so we'll see if Flash returns to the big screen soon.
