   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?
