We spoke with the human behind ReBoot's new live-action concept - The Verge
"The one resonating thing that I've heard, is 'ReBoot really changed my life,'" explains Michael Hefferon, president and chief creative officer at Rainmaker Entertainment. It seems like tall praise for a show that looks at times painfully dated to our eyes in 2015. But that speaks to how groundbreaking ReBoot was when it debuted in 1994. You may not have heard of ReBoot , but for a generation of '90s kids, the show... As the first half-hour, completely computer-animated TV series, it holds a special place in animators' hearts. Now, 14 years after ReBoot 's final episode first aired, Vancouver-based Rainmaker Entertainment has officially confirmed the show's return to the small screen. The new ReBoot has been reimagined as a live-action / computer-animated hybrid that will center around four human teenagers who discover that they're next-gen Guardians — protectors who must defend cyberspace and humanity, alike. I wanted to know more about the show's revival, so I called Michael Hefferon, president and chief creative officer of Rainmaker Entertainment. Hefferon, who joined Rainmaker in 2012 , knows a lot about '90s animated hits. Source: www.theverge.com
