The only aspect of this upcoming Flatliners reboot that I'm interested in is seeing Kiefer Sutherland reprise his role from the original 1990 movie. He played a character named Nelson Write in the film and he was the ringleader who started experimenting with death with his friends and colleagues. When talking about his character, Sutherland previously told Metro U.K.:
“I play a professor at the medical university. It is never stated but it will probably be very clearly understood that I’m the same character I was in the original Flatliners but that I have changed my name and I’ve done some things to move on from the experiments that we were doing in the original film.“I loved making the first film and when I was asked if I would be interested in taking part in this, it didn’t take more than a minute to say yes.
