How about the kid who played Quinn in the guardian as the new "young" Quinn character?

I love Temporal/ireactions idea. The beautiful part about that is you can always link them up with the foursome from the original series... they're just doubles from another world.

And, if you went with a next generation cast, you could always have our original sliders make appearances and/or be regularly involved. The premise of the show makes the franchise extremely flexible for revival or reboot, and helps deal with the aging factor better.

2016-04-04 20:59:26

Jerry is asked about whether Quinn ever got home, comments on reboot:

It's obvious he wants this franchise to bring back, and I think he's hoping a groundswell of support from fans can help encourage it.

I don't think we're dealing with any new developments here.

2016-03-24 14:00:24

The rights holder would license the name / characters but that wouldn't be expensive and an easy obstacle. The harder part is convincing a network to order a pilot which would be a commitment of at least a mill and probably more. That's the more difficult part. Because its money but they also have to believe a modern day version of the series could work... Particularly with whomever is on the production side and who the talent is that's attached.

"The Hoop Life", which was on showtime hasn't been ever made available commercially.

Woah, Tracy called him? That bodes well that this was some serious thinking about rebooting the show.
but this kind of conversation is extremely cyclical - Torme's been calling people for 16 years about reboots and movies.

I don't think Torme's ever made any effort for a Sliders reboot other than looking at it over the last couple of years (a period of time he's been preoccupied with his movie and documentary project). The 2000 Sliders "movie" was Weiss. And yes, Torme has been candid that he doesn't have ownership or power over the property.

That said, he has a better chance of getting it anywhere than you or I pitching it.

Getting Sliders remade is a huge uphill battle due to cynical networks and some of the tainted aspects of the brand, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that with enough will, the right pitch and the right people, something can happen. Jerry's clearly the guy who wants this to happen most, so I hope he's willing to give it a shot with or without Tracy, but I get the sense that he's very loyal and doesn't want to step on any toes with it.

Holy crap that was a great interview and very insightful. It's nice to know that the cast really weren't onboard with the changes and felt pretty much like we did. It's such a shame, as everyone feels that the show could have gone on to be something incredible. So sad. And yeah, I don't blame him for not seeing season 5 - I've not watched it outside of its original airing.

However, with JRD on Shannara Chronicles, and everyone scattered, I can't see it happening with the original cast outside of cameos. It's got to be a new cast.

I really believe Jerry is the guy that is totally "in" right now and was the one who started the discussion. I also wonder if Torme put out some feelers and didnt like what he was hearing back. I also think that Jerry has occasionally tried to used such public comments to create interest among Sliders fans to try to push for this revival (and maybe get Torme to go all in). Hopefully enthusiasm from the fans can help make a difference, I think it has certainly encouraged Jerry.

2016-03-23 16:58:04

Wow. I mean, it's pretty obvious he wants to do it. It's really amazing. I feel like someone just needs to take the bull by the horn now, figure out who is in and who is not, move forward with that team, and start trying to find a network. Frankly, I don't think they should wait on anyone, the show premise is the most important thing.

It's too bad John is on that MTV series. Maybe he could still do it anyway though. I think he would if his ego was stroked enough.

Interesting John and Jerry would club together back in the day and Jerry still keeps in touch via instagram.

Thanks. It's very important we let them know what we want.

From the article:

Some of them will also make their debut on high-def Blu-ray Disc format, too...but Mill Creek hasn't finalized which ones, and in what configurations.

Well, if Mill Creek could do their own transfer of the masters, we'd get somewhere. That said, many small video publishing outfits do not have the equipment or resources to do this. They might be able to make it a condition of licensing SLIDERS from Universal.

I may be wrong but looking at their site, I don't get the sense they'd engage in this sort of thing. I'm hoping though they can get some help from universal on this and just get good digital files from them.

The article states that decisions haven't necessarily been made by Mill Creek yet so the more we can get fans to reach out to them asking for a high quality master transfer, the more they'll realize this is what fans are really looking for out of a re-release.

That said since universal didnt bother, I'd take a good upconversion job, but it wont quite be the same.

2016-03-08 20:37:18

Would they really pick up the licensing rights just to do a dvd release of something already available on DVD?

2016-03-08 19:27:48

From the article:

"Mill Creek can only work with the versions of the episodes that Universal sends them, so their hands could be tied. We'll have to wait and see; stay tuned!"

So I'm guessing it would be an upconversion/cleanup job. Because we can assume universal doesn't have a digital scan in 16:9 bluray format, right?

2016-03-08 18:43:48

WOW!!!

We need to write Mill Creek and start a campaign!

And we should push for scanning the masters for a true blu-ray not just an upconversion/cleanup of the current discs.

I've known others who have met her during her senator days (including my grandmother, who almost fell into her) and I really don't think she's like Frank's wife (Claire?).

2013, actually. It was "The Pretty One".
Do we know for sure she's still in Uganda? I don't think there's been much concrete info for a while now. Last I heard she was in either Uganda or Rome, and she was also back in New York for a while (but seemed to not be enjoying herself). She travels almost as much as Wade does; I think they have that restless spirit in common. More power to her.
But yeah, I doubt she'd be talked into a full series, but she's proven willing to come back for short periods for the right person.

Her blog is pretty comprehensive of her life's events. I haven't checked it in a while but if she moved again, she'd probably post it there. I believe she was in Uganda, then Rome, then back to Uganda. Her husband is a U.N. employee and they can get relocated like that.

I think "The Pretty One" was filmed in 2012 - but was released in 2013.

She's completely retired from acting and lives in Uganda, Africa.

Well, she did return to LA in 2012 and appeared in an independent film.

I can't see her being involved in a series unless she's done with living abroad (her husband works for the U.N.) but I could definitely see her returning for a few weeks to shoot something for a movie or mini-series if the gang was all back.

I don't think everyone here is accounting for the strong bias in the marketplace (by that i mean networks and network executives) against sliders. It's later seasons had some terrible, cheap 90s tv. Networks are trying to do adult sophisticated, smart nowadays. The show has a tainted legacy. They're up against some challenges in getting someone to take it on, though I do think it's possible, and they'd have to have the right pitch / approach.

Thanks for posting!

He obviously wanted the show to be way more scientific and alt-history like. It just makes me wonder to what degree he appreciated that they did in season 1 and 2, and what he thought of Torme and Weiss' direction of having heart, charm, satire, quirkness to the show. It did not go in a serious direction much of the time.

Not only that, how would he feel about returning to a show where Torme was the writer? He would be stupid not to. Clearly, Sliders could have been more serious, science based and alt-history like but it also worked very well the way it was implemented - and the creators weren't pure sci-fi guys, both had comedy backgrounds.

Hi, guys. Courtesy of the Sci-Fi Channel, EP.COM has added 16 items to the Article Archive. Included are in-depth interviews with Jerry, Charlie, Cleavant, Sabrina and Kari. Sabrina reacts to the breeding camp, Kari explains why she was so awful to Sabrina and Charlie shares how he got started in acting.
http://earthprime.com/articles/new-arti … i-archives
In 2005, after SLIDERS was put out of our misery, the Sci-Fi Channel was clearing out its offices of unneeded items and quite inexplicably had press files containing every SLIDERS article they could find. Also inexplicably, they boxed up their files and shipped them to Matt Hutaff of EarthPrime.com because he, I dunno, asked nicely. Matt figured he'd get his assistant to scan and retype anything of value.
Ten years later, Matt, still without an assistant, was forced to consider that he had vastly overestimated his future success. However, with The Box taking up valuable space in his garage, Matt realized it was time to ship The Box to a trusted ally who would happily sort through the contents, categorize the clippings, press releases, internal documents, memos, letters and painstakingly retype every single article of value.
Since there was no one like that, he sent it to me some time before Christmas. I sped-read through the contents of The Box and selected 16 items worth sharing -- in-depth interviews with cast and crew and the odd editorial regarding the show. However, I sure as hell wasn't going to be retyping all that.
I ran the pages through a scanner, created a PDF and ran the documents through Adobe Acrobat's optical character recognition software. The results were unreadable gibberish, likely due to many of the articles being faded and low-res photocopies.
Every few days, I'd run the file through another OCR program, continuing to do this for about a month. This weekend, I finally found ABBYY Finereader, which was accurate enough to require only minor corrections here and there before posting. So hurrah!
What stood out to me was how journalist David Martindale seemed to write a lot of SLIDERS articles and interview Sabrina and Kari. It'd be neat to compare notes with him someday and ask if Sabrina or Kari ever had anything off the record to share.

Terrific, thanks!!

Of course they should have the all-star writers come back, but it could also be interesting to see episodes written and directed by people who actually grew up with the show. They could play up the aspects that they loved the most and tell stories from a perspective that I don't know that the original writers possibly could.
I'm sure I've said this before, but long-running series have benefited from this immensely in the past. The two best examples that I'm aware of are SNL and the Simpsons. Both were able to have renaissances once the kids/teens that grew up watching the show get old enough to write it themselves. SNL had a revival in the late 80s/early 90s when people who grew up with the late 70s gang. Same thing with the Simpsons, as episodes became more about the thing that people loved when the show was new. A lot of people say the Simpsons sucks now, but they're mostly talking about a similar lull that SNL had in the early/mid 80s. I've watched the last 3-4 seasons pretty religiously, and the show still is able to hit pretty high notes these days. It was also harder to notice as much of a dropoff when the whole "Every Simpsons Ever" happened on FXX.

A Sliders revival pretty much needs this if were to come back in some form. Someone with at some influence in the industry who grew up loving it and wants to bring it back.

Unfortunately, the most influential person I've been able to find is comic book artist/writer Judd Winick, who is busy and probably wouldn't be a good fit given his artistic style.

So I am not sure that person exists.

The problem with Darin Morgan is that he is, by his own admission, a slow writer. The only reason he was able to contribute a script to the Revival: "Were Monster" was originally an unfilmed script for the NIGHT STALKER reboot that was bought shortly before the show got cancelled. Morgan was able to rewrite his existing story for the Revival.
I think he could be a great story editor, but he apparently got burnt out on THE X-FILES after two seasons and he only lasted eleven episodes on FRINGE in a similar role.
Clearly a man meant for film.

Interesting. To his credit, even if he can't be prolific, he certainly has established a legacy with a couple of his X Files contributions (Clyde Bruckman and this).

2016-02-04 18:42:20

Wouldn't Torme and Darin Morgan have a lot of potential as collaborators?

2016-02-03 19:20:30

I think it would be hard to turn a profit as well. If it's $15k to produce a comic of adequete quality, then you'd have to sell like 5k copies to cover (a bit more due to affiliate fees to the ecommerce platforms).

Out of the gate, it would be very hard to get 5k. Maybe you can get 500 to 1000 readers if you are very lucky. So as a property, it's not really providing any initial return, making it less attractive.

That said, I would encourage folks to email comics@lionforge.com and suggest to them Sliders. I think they would be the best bet. They've done a number of old tv franchises (not sure how its turned out), and they have the benefit of a little more access to capital then most startup comic shops would.

The founder, Dave Steward, would have to be a fan of Sliders, and I am not sure that's the case given it wasn't among the properties they originally brought back.

Well, that's up to you. I certainly won't stand in the way. But they did a PRISONER adaptation where they found a completely charmless performer to play Patrick McGoohan's suave, forceful, aloof, outraged, gallant Number Six. They don't seem to be very good at casting. The Alice Drake character was supposed to be an English spy and should sound like Emma Thompson speaking perfect English. For some reason, they cast someone with truly peculiar pronunciation and a hesitant line delivery that gives the impression she doesn't know the language.
I think Tom and Cory's impressions are fine as comedy spoofs, but impressions don't really lend themselves to drama.

I've only listened to the X Files stuff, about an hour of it. They don't use actual X Files characters, they play within the universe. I was very impressed by the quality of production, considering its completely a volunteer-based effort.

Casting some of the Sliders characters could be tough, but given that we presumably won't be getting any audio-visual material out of the franchise going forward, I certainly would like to see someone take a crack at it. If it ends up being really bad, I figure nothing is lost.

I would never stop anyone from doing an audio adaptation of SLIDERS REBORN, but I also wouldn't encourage them. I've heard their PRISONER audioplay and it's terrible, completely failing to capture the charm of the lead character's performance. I think having impressionists perform SLIDERS REBORN is completely self-defeating; the point of the REBORN scripts is that they are pastiches of the actors.
The reason the scripts are lengthier than one would expect: the scripts don't just contain the dialogue. They contain all the acting as well. The body language. The physical behaviour. These are imagination-fuelled simulations of Jerry, Sabrina, Cleavant and John -- so that when you read it, you can hear those actors in your head as opposed to impressionists.
I don't think SLIDERS REBORN is really suited to anything other than it's current format. It's a media tie-in novel that uses screenplay format.
Anyway. I also wouldn't submit anything that isn't done. SLIDERS REBORN will finish in 2016, though. The Rewatch Podcast boys can confirm that I just sent them a beat sheet for the final installment -- it's just lacking in details I want to add in before scripting in full.

Would you mind if I submitted Sliders 2013 to them for consideration?

I know you weren't happy with it but myself and everyone I shared it with loved it.

Once I do, I will transfer the site to the new host and cut the cord on the old one. Scrambling to migrate your entire digital presence from one place to the next is a GOOD way to ring in the new year!

Thanks for everything you do with the site.

While I have you, can I ask, at one point I believe the comics were all available for download.

On the current site, it lists each of the comics available for download in CBR format, but only some of them are actually linked. Was that intentional on your part, or were you not aware?

Let's say Sliders came back, and Torme was involved. Given that he didnt even watch all of season 3 let alone 4 & 5, I can't see him worrying about the details of tying up loose ends... I think he'd have a mechanism that undid all the damage of later seasons. It became a different franchise midway through the third season. What was broadcast from that point on would not be the type of show that would get revived.

I would like to see Jerry take the lead on pitching a revival but from Slidecage's interview with him, he seems to be deferring on the show's creator to bring it back or let it lie dormant.

In my opinion a good, realistic way to bring it back (short of the principals doing so) would be as a book series primarily utilizing some or all of the original characters, along with some scripts worthy of audio-dramas in which actors would imitate the original actor's voices.

With books, the biggest issue is the market. In that form, you'd have to create a new generation of sliders fans (e.g. young adults).

I would love, love, love to see a kickstarter around a producing a teleplay for a well-done script though. With a script in place, the production costs would be in the $3-10k range - a realistic campaign goal that could be achieved.

I would also LOVE for Sliders to get some books similar to these:

There's certainly been some very capable writers in the community who would do a great job at creating books in this vein (not to mention there's already great material websites have that would be great in book form). The biggest issue would be there wouldn't be a lot of sales for books like these since Sliders doesn't have the following these other properties have.
