Scott Bakula has revealed that an issue over ownership rights is likely holding up a relaunch of sci-fi TV series ‘Quantum Leap’.

The Emmy-nominated actor played Dr Sam Beckett on the NBC show from 1989 to 1993. He recently told ‘Moviehole’ that a rumoured reboot of ‘Quantum Leap’ is not happening any time soon.

“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.

If it ever was to get around the legal wranglings they would probably ruin it with some Shia LeBoef style young kid in the lead so for once I’d be happy to see a classic show stay away from the clutches of the remakers.
