SYDNEY, Australia - Fans of the skintight purple suit rejoice: the Phantom is back. An Australian production company on Monday announced it had secured the rights to " The Phantom Legacy," a follow-up to the 1996 film, "The Phantom," which starred Billy Zane as the masked hero who fights evil from his jungle headquarters.

The latest adaptation, which is expected to cost $87 million, will focus on "the Father/Son relationship, and what it means to be The Phantom," scriptwriter Tim Boyle said in a statement. "The film will be set in the present day and will deal with the concept of destiny."

Billy Zane I always thought was abit plump for the Phantom. I always saw him as more sleek like in the old cartoons.

This is great news! I remember seeing the first one in theaters. It was pretty good. I'll be seeing this one too I'm sure.

I liked the Phantom a lot. I wish the new one was set back in the old days like the first one.

I wonder who they're going to get to play him.

I think a lot of people including me would like Billy Zane back in, but I don't know if he's still in superhero kind of shape.

This is what I found in wikipedia

Quote:
September 6 2008, syndicated gossip columnist Liz Smith wrote that Paramount was putting a sequel into development, with Billy Zane returning to play the title role, due to the good VHS and DVD sales of the first film. [2]

On December 16, 2008 it was announced that a reboot/reimagining of the Phantom franchise is in the works. Currently, the film is being referred to as "The Phantom: Legacy."
