Breaking news from the producers of the upcoming movie ‘Life After Flash’ –
“FLASH GORDON FANS….huge announcement!
Our 35th reunion will be happening 28th November, at BAFTA in London, UK. Tickets to be released soon.
Also on the day we will be holding a smaller, charity screening with a Q&A with Sam Jones and Melody Anderson to accommodate all budgets.
Get spreading the word….it’s going to be a great event! Guests announced soon…”
Finally made official in considerable style (courtesy of Bob Lindenmeyer’s stunning poster art), the cult movie reunion event of 2015 is fast upcoming and promises to be the ultimate celebration for Flashfans. Taking place at no less than BAFTA itself in Central London, with a Black tie screening and Q&A session as well as an opportunity to purchase an exclusive Alex Ross print, the 35th is an event not to be missed…!!
The last word goes to Flash himself, Sam J. Jones, from his Facebook page –
“This is a very special event. It will be the first time in 35 years that I will be seeing some of my co-stars as well as crew. I’m excited guys..!”
UPDATE: Tickets available here
GORDON’S ALIVE! is proud to present the first of what will become complete archive of features on Flash Gordon from the vintage pages of the phenomenal Starlog magazine.
Indispensable in its day for the genre fan and now fondly referred to as the Internet of its age, the ‘Magazine of the future’ would chronicle a pioneering age of Science Fiction in movies and television by way of compelling journalism complimented by exciting imagery.
Well established as of issue #41, the format shown above would change little over the years and the prospect of an all-new motion picture based on a beloved comic-book character/movie serial star was a hugely exciting prospect and more than worthy of the cover story (top pic).
The Starlog Interview with cocky young superstar-in-the-making Sam J. Jones is typically thorough coverage – providing a fascinating insight into the production of the film while pulling no punches with its inset summary of the infamous legal issues that would ultimately result in Sam’s performance being looped by another actor..
Coming Soon – A harmony with Melody…
Hurling their bodies out of the void and Earthbound once more, Flash Gordon & Dale Arden (aka Sam J. Jones and Melody Anderson) head on a promotional tour of the Far East.
Clearly enjoying themselves in Japan courtesy of Screen magazine (source of the majority of clippings reproduced above) in January of 1981, Sam & Melody attended a screening of the film and were interviewed at length about their exciting all-new sci-fi blockbuster. Should anybody feel compelled to translate the text above in the comments below Gordon’s Alive would be eternally grateful…
