Our last panel of our two day trip in Vancouver was for the new comic-book-turned-TV-show, Flash Gordon, due to premiere later this year. To be completely honest, not a whole lot of people were looking forward to this visit, especially when considering what we'd seen the previous day. However, in the end, I for one now have different expectations for the show and think it's worth a second glance.

Thanks again to Gina Holden, Eric Johnson, Karen Cliche and Jody Racicot for taking the time to sit down with us. The entire panel video is embedded after the jump below (by the way, all of the previous videos should work without a problem now.)

Gina Holden, last seen on the TV series Blood Ties, has joined the cast of SCI FI's upcoming adaptation of Flash Gordon as Dale Arden, the love interest of Flash Gordon (played by Eric Johnson). Holden also appeared in Fantastic Four and will also appear in the upcoming sequel to Alien Vs. Predator.

The series also recently cast actor Jody Racicot as Dr. Hans Zarkov, and John Ralston as the evil Ming. The series has already cast Giles Panton as Joe, Karen Cliché as Baylin, Panou as Nick, Jill Teed as Norah, Jonathan Walker as Rankol, Carmen Moore as Jolie and Anna van Hoft as Aura.

Flash Gordon began as a comic strip in the 1930s and eventually spawned a number of adaptations, including movie serials, TV shows and radio programs. The new Flash Gordon series kicks off sometime this August.
