Deadline reports that a duo has launched Multitude Productions, a new production company focused on genre films and television. Their first project? A reboot of the classic British sci-fi series, Blake’s 7. The original show, a politically charged space drama, followed a group of criminals and rebels fighting against a powerful, oppressive government called the Terran Federation from their advanced spaceship. Creator James Hoar hopes the reboot will air on the BBC, where the original series was broadcast. He explains that Blake’s 7 became legendary because it unexpectedly landed in a time slot and received a budget originally meant for a standard police procedural like Softly, Softly, limiting production to a single main set and minimal location filming.
