Perfect Tommy's teletyped missive read as follows: 

Sources at the Buckaroo Banzai Institute have confirmed from two reliable sources the rumor that Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, 2009’s Fahrenheit 451) will pen and direct the new incarnation of the 80s cult classic Buckaroo Banzai.

It is still not certain if that will take the form of a series pilot or theatrical release. Fans question whether Darabont is right for the property with his more linear style of filmmaking, but after the disappointing loss of Buckaroo Banzai: Ancient Secrets & New Mysteries (the Rauch/Richter pilot from years ago), it is exciting to see the opportunity for a revitalization of the beloved characters, especially from such a recognized film maker.

We here at CC2K will keep you posted on this exciting news!
