It’s this kind of news that makes me believe a Quark reboot is only a matter of time.
Gene Roddenberry’s son Rod has struck a deal with Imagine Television to develop a series based on The Questor Tapes.
“The Questor Tapes” was originally conceived as a television series pilot about an android with incomplete memory tapes who searches for his creator and his purpose. The pilot ultimately aired as a 1974 television movie.
“My father always felt that Questor was the one that got away,” said Rod Roddenberry. “He believed that the show had the potential to be bigger than Star Trek.”
I’m having a little trouble buying that last bit, but I expect the huge success of the recent Star Trek reboot is what’s rekindled interest in the Questor franchise.
