[i]The SCI FI Channel, which is now a part of Universal Television Group, is developing a number of original series and films based on existing Universal titles, the network announced.
SCI FI will develop a two-hour movie based on the TV series Quantum Leap, which will also serve as a back-door pilot for a possible series. Series creator Don P. Bellisario will executive produce.
SCI FI will also develop a one-hour action series based on the Tremors series of movies, which will be scheduled for a January 2003 premiere. The films’ creators, executive producers Nancy Roberts, Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson, will work with series executive producer David Israel.
[b]”Projects such as Quantum Leap and Tremors are exactly why SCI FI is excited about being part of the Universal family,”[/b] said SCI FI president Bonnie Hammer in a statement. “We have an opportunity to access the rich Universal library-which includes a vast array of horror and sci-fi titles-to create new television experiences for a contemporary audience.”[/i]
I’m glad they’re excited. I’m not.
