You asked for it!
Rainmaker wants to hear from you.
Do you have a question, or multiple questions, that you want Rainmaker to answer? Not an automated response, but a true response from the Creative Director of all of Rainmaker? Well now is your chance!
Post your questions in this thread. The top five requests will be sent directly to the Creative Director of Rainmaker, and the replies will be posted in this thread.
This is the best opportunity to get any question you want answered. The only thing to remember is that some information needs to be kept secret, so don't expect any detailed answers to questions like:
"What is the story to the new movie?"
"Is this the end to the hunt?"
etc. etc.
There are still millions of questions I'm sure you all have. Post as many as you want!
Stay frosty!

What characters are returning from the original series?
What merchandise shall we be expecting to be able to buy for the new movie?
Have you talked to any of the original creators/ writers to help with the movie?
If no, then why not?

Ahh the joys of TV tuners and using them to digitize VHS tapes.
I taped the whole series from YTV once, in order, over the course of like 39 weeks. The tapes are somewhere...

Do you think you could convince Cartoon Network to start airing ReBoot again? Or another cartoon channel?
Do you have plans to bring the creators back to the project?
Do you plan to bring back all of the original voice actors?

As posted further down, we'll be the first to hear if an American network signed for ReBoot episodes. Until then, anything's possible.
As for voice actors, I could not see Rainmaker cast others for the voices unless funding became an issue. Anybody could correct me on this, but isn't the voicing decided during post production?
Please wait ...

Why have you not asked Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson to come back?

I think it's because they want to take it in another direction. Nevertheless, I'll probably get enough of this question to ask them anyways.

Is this new movie going to take place after the hunt, before the hunt, or in a completely different timeline altogether?
When can we expect this movie to be released? 2010? 11? 12?
Are we ever going to see Hex again?
When are you going to get the rights and the funding for a DVD Box Set?
How much of the original cast and crew are going to be involved with the movie?

Saboooom you know I wish I could get the answers to those... lol.
From what I have gathered through many contacts, the movie will NOT be a conclusion to The Hunt. It doesn't seem like a wise financial venture. Plus, wouldn't you rather have Gavin tell that tale?
At this point, release date would be very tentative. I would rather it be later and high quality though.

Is there going to be a new video game?

I'd prefer a game where you could just walk / zipboard Mainframe. After all, PCs have the rendering power now... I can dream can't I?
Haha a game would be awesome :)

Will the movies be theatrical and will they continue the story or create a new story arch?
Will the characters be mostly unaltered?
Is there any chance of my idea being used or any similar ideas being used for the movies?

Is Rainmakers still attempting to find a broadcast home in the states for ReBoot?
Have they approached any networks about a possible run of the first four seasons to drum up more awareness/remembrance of the show to support this cause?
Has there been any talk of perhaps a streaming presence for the series through one or more internet broadcast sites (ie Youtube, Hulu, etc)?
Any talk of merchandise - if not for the new movie then for classic reboot? (It'd be great exposure!)
What's up with the DVDs? Are the rights sorted out? What's the official issue with this - there seem to be tons of rumors floating around.

I know I can answer one of these :)
I spoke with Rainmaker once in regard to Youtube and other online streaming options. Here was their response:
"Regarding your suggestion to stream the ReBoot episodes, that unfortunately is not possible because it would be in violation of our distribution and broadcast agreements. But like you, we want to encourage more fan activity for ReBoot which is why we started the ReBoot Reborn campaign and then launched reboot.com with the webcomic, and have plans to do even more in advance of the ReBoot film."
The issue has to do with availability. For instance, Teletoon Retro currently pays to broadcast ReBoot. If the episodes were available online for free, then nobody would watch it on Teletoon Retro (I still would, for the nostalgic "ReBoot will return after these messages!").
As for the DVDs, I believe it was Mr. Blair himself who clarified once. The rights issues I believe entirely revolve around a tentative agreement with Universal.
Please wait ...

What part of the movie project is currently in the works? The script? The characters?
Will characters and environments be based off the pre-existing show or remodeled?
Will your version be a reinvention of the show?
[insert obvious question about past cast and creators here]

Well, some of the questions I'd like asked I think I've already asked or people have asked, but here goes -
1. If you go forward with a movie, will it be like the comic?
2. Are you planning on finishing the comic?
3. Are you truly going to listen to fan input this time? (I know, this may be a bit snarky, but RM & Z2H said they wanted fan feedback and yet, there were a lot of disappointed fans with the comic)
4. Will characters that we know and love be changed? (IE will there be a return of OOC Dot?)
5. Have you taken a look at any of the major fan created websites? (There are a lot of great story lines from fan writers, who keep characters IN character, while introducing new elements/situations. What Z2H had going wasn't working)
6. Will/would you delegate a spokesperson to speak to fans on the different forums? (this ties in with the listening to fans question. A lot of fans felt abandoned with no word on what was going on)
