POD mid 1990's create a steam punk movie or TV show Name the Writer, and director as well as main actors.
Brisco County Jr. had elements of steampunk. Wikipedia also mentions another shortlived TV series, Legend, from the mid-'90s.
Secret Adventures of Jules Verne
Brisco County Jr was a favorite of mine and I would have love to see it run a few more seasons.
Secret Adventures of Jules Verne
The best idea would essentially take the Serenity movie and have it take place in 1868 rather than 2508. What the writers could do is have the POD be 20 years prior to the civil war when the invientions of the zepplin and dirigible are introduce leading the Dirigible as a main weapon earlier in the war. By 1868, they are common place and Serenity would be a Zepplin in the wild west. Hey it's Hollywood, it doesn't have to be the best POD ever, just one that John Q. Audience would believe.
What about a tv series spin off from the Wild Wild West movie?
GONZO Animation in Japan signs a contract for a 26-episode anime of Girl Genius
Doesn't survive beyond Cartoon Network at 0200 in the morning in the U.S. Some day people will realize that your average Joe American views anime like the sour milk in the fridge. Everyone knows its bad but no one wants to toss it.
What about a tv series spin off from the Wild Wild West movie? (Obviously using the themes more than anything else from the movie, sort of like the difference between MASH the film and MASH to series?).
That's not a bad idea. The movie DOES have overt steampunk overtones. After all, there's Kenneth Brannagh in a steam-powered wheelchair and a giant steam-powered, mechanical spider, and Grant's pimped out train, in addition to Gordon's many little toys, but it would have to be a MUCH better movie for anyone to rationalize the expense of a TV show which means no Will Smith, although that's probably not a bad thing.
Wild Wild West was a steampunk TV series. From 1965 to 1969 with Robert Conrad and Ross Martin.
I might just to pick up the series on ebay.
