CBS looks to Trek Vets To Revamp Wild Wild West

CBS is once again bringing back a classic show for a modern audience. This time it is the action-adventure Western The Wild Wild West, which originally ran for four seasons from 1965-1969. According to Deadline CBS is currently in negotiations with Star Trek vet Ron Moore (who also successfully rebooted the Battlestar franchise) to bring revamp The Wild Wild West for a 21st century audience. Moore will be joined by former CSI exec producer Naren Shankar, who also worked with Moore as a science consultant and story editor on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Shankar and Moore are writing and executive producing the remake of The Wild Wild West. The original series focused on two secret service agents in the post Civil War west.

This sounds good - as long as it is a reboot of the TV series and not that movie...

I've only seen the movie which is perhaps why I raised an eyebrow at this. I assume the series was in a slightly different league?

I've seen several episodes from the series and I guess I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed the movie. I'm looking forward to this new take on the series.
