If you’ve been waiting for a new version of “Quantum Leap” to hit the screen, you’re not alone. Fans of the popular series have been anxiously awaiting news of the long-rumored remake or reboot of the popular series that found Dr. Sam Beckett traveling through time and “putting right what once went wrong.”
However, it’s look more and more like Sam may have to leap into the situation to get it resolved and moving forward any time soon.
Actor Scott Bakula, who played Sam on the TV show, recently said that it may be a while before the series sees the light of day. At the heart of the issue is ownership rights to the property.
“There’s a big, long, complicated paper trail in terms of ownership – it was bought by different studios; Barry Diller bought it… that’s the world of Universal Television. And if Universal TV gets bought, it’ll get even more complicated,” he said.
