Posing as Camille, Félicie is determined (with Odette’s help) to make the most of her “fortuitous” shot at making her dreams come true. The goal? To earn a coveted invitation to dance in an upcoming production of The Nutcracker.īut when Félicie intercepts that tryout invitation in the mail, Camille and Régine are none the wiser. Matriarch Régine Le Haut pushes her daughter, Camille, to the breaking point in her own ballet training. Odette takes Félicie in, introducing her to the family she serves as a housekeeper: the Le Hauts. In the process, though, she meets a hobbled woman named Odette who keeps the place clean. Félicie, for her part, quickly locates the ballet … and almost as quickly gets kicked out. In seems Victor’s dreams of becoming an inventor might be off to a good start. Victor begins working for a certain tower-building architect by the name of Eiffel. No sooner have they arrived, however, than their paths diverge accidentally-in more ways than one. Victor, meanwhile, longs to become a world-famous inventor. Félicie hopes to waltz into the City of Lights and dazzle its residents with her effervescent spirit. Presumably, so does the fulfillment of these two runaway orphans’ dreams. Then, one fine day, Félicie and her best friend, Victor, manage to elude M. Luteau, a bulbous man whose chameleon-like eyes wander in disturbingly different directions (giving him, one presumes, a distinct advantage when it comes to spying crafty waifs trying to escape via the rooftop). But she’s stymied by the nuns’ omnipresent security toady, M. When she’s not trying to escape, that is. Even as she tends to the mundane chores assigned to her, she does so with irrepressible flare, singing and dancing as she works. Still, Félicie harbors a cherished dream: becoming a ballet dancer in Paris. Oh, there’s no shortage of soul-crushing work to be done at her orphanage, to be sure: sweeping, cleaning and keeping the nuns happy. (At least in the movies, anyway.) Dreams simply do not take flight in their claustrophobic, cinematic confines-especially the late 19th-century, Catholic kind found in France. No, orphanages tend to be places of desperation and deprivation. And it will be up to the fans.The words happy and orphanage almost never get lumped into the same sentence.
#LEAP MOVIE SERIES#
I think we should do a series of movies, I think we should do a series of series, and this is very much the first step into that world. Everything that Star Trek can do, Quantum Leap can do. Of course, it will be up to the fans and whether they embrace the reboot as warmly as they had the original Quantum Leap. In fact, she feels that there is enough story potential here to extend beyond this new reboot with spinoff shows and even tie-in Quantum Leap movies. Pratt also speaks about how the reboot will open the door for the Quantum Leap team to pursue new creative possibilities. The characters that they have created for the show, I feel like, are strong and interesting." I can't tell you his backstory and all that kind of stuff, but the episode is a true Quantum Leap episode and it's an homage to the series in that sense. I think that's a huge step forward that will bring in more global storylines. "Raymond Lee is South Korean, and he's playing Ben Seong. Pratt, who serves as an executive producer on the reboot pilot, speaks about the new show's cast of characters and how they all work together to create an homage to the classic series.
In a new interview with The Companion, original series star, producer, and writer Deborah M. The new main cast also includes Ernie Hudson as Vietnam vet Herbert "Magic" Williams, Caitlin Bessett as Army vet Addison, Nanrisa Lee as head of security Jenn, and Mason Alexander Park as Ian, the chief architect of Quantum Leap's A.I. The pilot will primarily follow Raymond Lee ( Kevin Can F*** Himself, Top Gun: Maverick) as the new lead character Dr. Perhaps they're looking for answers or presuming things will turn out differently this time. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) vanish many years ago. Serving as a direct continuation of the original series, the pilot will follow an all-new cast of characters experimenting with the same leaping technology that saw Dr. If all goes well, the Quantum Leap reboot pilot in development at NBC is just the start of an expansive new franchise.
