Anyone who listened to the last episode of The Thumbcast knows how much love I've got for Street Hawk.

Which is why I was very hyped to get the chance to interview the show's star, Rex Smith, the other day as part of the day job.

The interview's now live here, but among the titbits from it is the news that Rex, along with his son, is working on a reboot of the series - 25 years after it was cancelled.

He said: 

"I am currently developing a script for a new re-envisioned Street Hawk along with my oldest son Brandon, called Street Hawk Resurrection'."

"Universal Studios has shown interest in the project and I would like to ask all the fans of Street Hawk to e-mail me so that I may show the executives at Universal just what kind of support I have for a new series."

Which may just be about the best news I've heard in years.  So everyone, get emailing Rex and let's get the man and the machine back on the street.

In the meantime, kick back and enjoy some Tangerine Dream...
