I am personally against it despite Sam Esmail’s involvement (I really liked Mr. Robot). It’s not that I don’t think it could be a good show, it’s that NBC has plenty of other properties from former science fiction shows they could redevelop, but they’re redeveloping this one instead.
If they want to reboot a show for the third time, why not V considering the first reboot was so disappointing? Or maybe go for the 90s nostalgia and reboot SeaQuest DSV or Earth 2.
And then there’s all the Sci-Fi Channel/SyFy properties they have at least some stake of ownership in.
I realize asking for something original is asking too much these days, but can’t we at least do something other than Battlestar Galactica every 20 years?
I’m willing to be open-minded and give the show a chance if it gets produced, but I don’t think it should be produced in the first place.
Even Westworld is a reboot. There were two movies in the 70s and a TV series based on those movies in the 80s. Everything is a damn reboot.
The first movie, with Yul Brenner, is friggin awesome. That said, I have read a LOT of great sci-fi series in the last couple of years that are screaming for movie/tv treatment, and are NOT BSG.
The second not so much. Yul Brynner is in it too, but not for very long. Never saw the short-lived TV series.
My dad said he once saw Yul Brynner in the Indianapolis airport in full cowboy getup.
The second, Futureworld, was boring but it did have the earliest computer animation committed to film
If we can reboot some awesome actors from the past, let’s get Woody Strode and Yul Brenner in like a Mass Effect show. On second thought, they would do it with AI, and it would be wrong on so many levels.
