Classic 90s kids television show ReBoot – the world’s first CGI animated series – is being set for not one movie, but an entire trilogy.
ReBoot focuses on the lives of biomes and sprits living in a city called Mainframe. The main danger for these digital citizens came from the gigantic game cubes (not to be confused by the Nintendo system) which would descend on a section of the digital city.
When this happens, sprite guardians Bob, Dot Matrix and Enzo must protect the city by competing and beating the User. Or face the consequences if the User wins… Further threats came from the evil Web, and dangerous enemies like Hexadecimal, Megabyte and (later) Gigabyte.
Originally made for children, ReBoot attracted many older fans when it became thematically darker partway through its second season. Additionally, throughout its entire run, the show made countless references to computer terms and pop culture that would not be understood by most children. The success of this series helped establish Mainframe Entertainment as one of the pre-eminent computer animation studios in the world.
With the announcement of a film, the plans to ‘reboot’ the series and take it to the big screen are complex - Rainmaker is teaming up with a comic site called Zeros To Heroes and asking five undiscovered writers to work up story ideas, which fans will then have the chance to comment on and get involved in proving.
In August, fans will choose the winning pitch and a web comic will come out, based on that idea, later this year, with a film following after that.
It maybe a complex plan, but will satisfy the loyal-fan base by allowing creative input. I reckon its’ time for the developers to restart and build a new mainframe.
