B5's Boxleitner wants back on sci-fi TV in intriguing steampunk series
 
Tweet 
His turn in the title role of the sci-fi classic Tron made him a geek
icon, and now Bruce Boxleitner is trying his hand at a very different
style under the sci-fi umbrella: steampunk.
Boxleitner offered some info via Twitter  that he is developing a
series proposal called Lantern City, a steampunk concept he hopes to
sell to a TV network.
The official website  has already launched, showing off a ton of cool
info on the potential series. It's being billed as a "fan-inspired and
fan-created" television project, so we're not really sure how this thing
will workâ€"but we're definitely intrigued.
Here's the official description:
It combines first-rate storytelling, innovative production design, and a
rich world that fans will fall in love with. Even though it will blend
great science fiction with dynamic storylines, at its heart the show
asks two questions: how far would you go to be with the person you love
and what lengths would you go to in order to survive?
Lantern City highlights the steampunk genre to create a one-of-a-kind
television experience. Other properties have had Steampunk elements, but
this is the first mainstream television show to proudly wear the label
of Steampunk. Current fans of the subgenre will not be disappointed and
it will attract a much wider audience to the long neglected world of
Steampunk. The show is unique in that it allows viewers to be involved
in the process - a first for any television show.
What do you think? Would you watch a Tron-created steampunk series?
