The Sci Fi Channel revealed yesterday it is developing a new QUANTUM LEAP movie, not involving Scott Bakula. Bakula, you may recall, is busy with a little show called ENTERPRISE.
In a statement to the press at this year's Television Critics Association gathering, the network crowed, "QUANTUM LEAP, which is being developed as a two-hour movie that will serve as a back-door series pilot."
As network president Bonnie Hammer said in the statement, "Projects such as QUANTUM LEAP... [are] exactly why SCI FI is excited about being part of the Universal family. 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."
The other Universal series Sci Fi is working on as an event is the four hour mini-series version of BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA.
Don P. Bellisario, who worked on the original LEAP series will executive produce. No word on the involvement, or probable non-involvement of Bakula or series co-star Dean Stockwell, but it's expected to air next year.
