There are some rumors that a sequel to the 1984 science fiction classic, The Last Starfighter is in the works. Some reports saying that Lance Guest has verbally agreed to reprise his role as Alex Rogan.

Starfighter was one of my favorite movies as a kid and it would be fun to see if they can pull it off. The tagline from the original movie:

Alex Rogan is a small town teenager with big time dreams. Dreams of college… of success… of marrying his girlfriend, Maggie. He’s just like everybody else, except Alex has a very special talent… that no one on Earth can appreciate. But, tonight, a mysterious stranger has called on Alex. He’s come from a galaxy that’s under attack from an alien force. And Alex’s unique ability is their last hope.

Reading that now makes me chuckle but it sure was cool when I was 12. FilmBuffOnline is saying that these rumors are a bit premature. Either way, I’m afraid the studios will probably need to hit the death blossom to get this one to production.
