Follow-up to yesterday's Buck Rogers post...
Ticonderoga resident James Cawley acquired the rights to do "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" as a series of Internet video shows, and part of the 40-minute pilot was shot at the Penfield Homestead in Ironville recently.
Playing Buck's parents were Gil Gerard and Erin Gray, who starred as Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering on the 1979-81 ABC-TV series.
Another tidbit:
"We're going back to the original novels and newspaper strips," Cawley said. "Previous filmed incarnations never really captured the original Buck. Buck is a World War I aviator. He's trapped in a cave. A gas in the cave puts him in suspended animation. He wakes up in the 25th century."
