Mike Hodges, Flash Gordon and Get Carter Director, Dead at 90
British filmmaker Mike Hodges, who was best known to audiences for directing the cult film Flash Gordon among other movies, has passed away. Hodges died in Dorset on Saturday, December 17th. He was 90 years old. Variety brings word of his death, revealing that his friend and producing-partner Mike Kaplan confirmed the news. Hodges got his start working in television, writing scripts for TV shows and TV movies before making his way into television as both a screenwriter and a director.
Though he spent most of his career working in that subgenre, Hodges is perhaps best known to many audiences members for directing the campy, box office bomb Flash Gordon. Starring Sam J. Jones and Max von Sydow, based on the King Features comic strip, and featuring a soundtrack by Queen, the film was a success in the UK but bombed in the United States, paving its way to becoming the cult classic that it is now.
