Let’s face it, this was coming, especially after the disaster that was his live-action screen adaptation of “The Spirit” — Frank Miller, according to producers, no longer has any ties to the upcoming “Buck Rogers” movie from Paradox Entertainment. That’s according to the studio’s producer, Fredrik Malmberg, who tells IGN that Miller is no longer involved in the movie in any capacity.

Paradox, along with Lawrence Abramson and George Furla, is also producing the long-awaited big screen return of sci-fi icon Buck Rogers. Frank Miller, who was previously attached to direct an earlier incarnation developed by different producers, is no longer involved.

Again, no surprise. “The Spirit” was a disaster, and what buzz Miller generated after co-directing “Sin City” has since evaporated with the (lack of) box office returns of “The Spirit”. That might all change if “Sin City 2″ ever gets made, of course. Plus, that “300″ sequel is also on the horizon…

Buzz today, gone tomorrow.
