It had been so long since I heard any news about this. I had allowed myself to hope it had been cancelled. You killed that hope OP, now there is only despair. Lol.

But seriously this looks terrible.

OW! UNLIMITED MEDIA'S MAINFRAME STUDIOS AND CORUS ENTERTAINMENT BEGIN NEXT PHASE OF PRODUCTION ON REBOOT: THE GUARDIAN CODE

Production Underway On the Visually Stunning Live-Action/CG-Animated Action-Comedy Series Featuring Strong Characters, Compelling Mystery, and Adrenaline-Pumping Action

Cast Includes Ty Wood, Sydney Scotia, Ajay Parikh-Friese, Gabriel Darku, and Hannah Vandenbygaart

For Immediate Release

VANCOUVER, BC – WOW! Unlimited Media's Mainframe Studios and Corus Entertainment are pleased to announce that production is underway in Victoria/Vancouver, B.C. on the live-action elements of ReBoot: The Guardian Code, a 20×22 minute live-action/CG-animated hybrid television series. This next phase of production reimagines the original 1994 animated classic, ReBoot, in a real life setting for modern, tech savvy audiences. Created by Michael Hefferon, the show follows four teenagers who discover that they've been selected to become the Next-Generation Guardians of cyberspace. ReBoot: The Guardian Code will premiere in Canada in 2018 on YTV.

After playing the multiplayer Cyber Guardians video game together, four teenagers are recruited by V.E.R.A (Hannah Vandenbygaart, Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool!), the Virtual Evolutionary Recombinant Avatar, to fulfill their mandate to mend and defend cyberspace. Austin (Ty Wood, The Haunting in Connecticut), Tamra (Sydney Scotia, Some Assembly Required), Parker (Ajay Parikh-Friese, Mr. Young), and Trey (Gabriel Darku, Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments) now must protect cyberspace from threats that pose true consequences to both the virtual and real world. It's more than these kids expected when they started at Alan Turing High. Way more.

ReBoot: The Guardian Code intercuts live-action scenes with awe-inspiring CG animation produced with the Unreal game engine, showing how the real world and cyberspace are interconnected. ”The power of the game engine's capabilities to create vast cyberspace settings along with AI (Artificial Intelligence) for dynamic secondary animation fused with live action, will deliver a truly unique and engaging experience for viewers", says Creator and Executive Producer Michael Hefferon. ”As groundbreaking as the original ReBoot was being the first ever CG animated series, ReBoot: The Guardian Code takes it to a whole new level."

This innovative series will also deliver true 360-degree engagement experiences for audiences with interactive mobile games, a digital trading card game that syncs with the broadcast of the series, and a Virtual Reality experience that puts fans right in the middle of the cyberspace action. More details to be announced at a later date.

ReBoot: The Guardian Code is produced by Mainframe Studios in association with Corus Entertainment, with Executive Producer/Producer Michael Hefferon, Executive Producer/Showrunner Larry Raskin, and Matt Sheppo, the Production Executive for Corus. The action-comedy series is directed by Co-Executive Producer Pat Williams, and Michael Dowding is the Supervising Director of Animation. Corus Entertainment's YTV is the Canadian broadcaster with Nelvana Enterprises handling worldwide distribution, licensing, and merchandising for the series.

Running before walking.
I mean I know it's good to plan ahead and be optimistic, but I always feel rushing to franchise and merchandise is such a gamble.

I actually use to watch this show.. it was bad... but damn, the stock footage it used from Denkou Choujin Gridman was cool as fuck.

I can't say that I am excited for this Reboot. The "users" shouldn't be seen at all. Oh well.

I actually enjoyed designing the new Binomes and Hack/Slash. Who knows how much they changed since I drew them. I did work fairly early in the process back in 2014.

Oh fascinating. Will be interesting to see what the CG portions of the show look like.

Without breaking any NDAs you may have, can you lightly comment on the designs you did? Like was the goal to do designs completely different than the original show, as that screenshot shows, or to somewhat maintain the spirit and tone of what was done in the original ReBoot?
