Nothing has been greenlighted. However, there are people trying to get it done...and that's an obvious important and first step. Nothing has happened with Quantum Leap for so long because generally no one was trying. Now that he's on Star Trek, Bakula made an effort and now Universal is interested in a possible QL movie (most likely due to Bakula's new found status thanks to Trek).

With the Sliders movie effort, Weiss was close to having a Sliders movie greenlighted in March of 2001. The fact that Universal was that interested means it can and will come up again in the future...and Weiss is still trying to get it made. Any number of new factors could tip the balance and make Universal greenlight the project. John Rhys-Davies gaining notority due to Lord of the Rings...the success of some type of parallel universe movie...even the interest of a noted director (such as Bryan Singer's interest causing a Battlestar Galactica revival). All we have to do is be patient and wait for the pieces to fall in place. There are people working to get it made, and that is the most important step of the process in my opinion...because Universal is reactive. They react to people persuing to get something made...they don't decide to do it on their own.
