Hey folks, Harry here... I was a huge Babylon 5 fan for the from the pilot film through the first 3 seasons. I never grew tired of the show... I simply stopped having the time in my life for the commitment to any on-going Television serial program. A feature film would be a huge leap for the series, and the necessary budgetary leaps would mean a film with massive visual effects. But if I get to see G'Kar and Londo on the big screen, I'll be happy.
Hello Harry,
TheRegent here with some exciting news. They say there has been some speculation that J. Michael Straczynski has been working on something new in the Babylon 5 universe. They say that they've been waiting for word from JMS about this new project. On Sunday, we finally got word from JMS himself about not just one new project, but possibly SEVERAL that are in the works. They say that it has been strongly hinted that one of these projects is a Babylon 5 film. Here's the quote taken off of the rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated site that JMS always uses to post new updates on his projects:
"I know I've been absent for a while now, but there are reasons, especially in
regards to B5:TMoS. In a project of this nature, and this size, there's stage
one (let's do this) stage two (let's make everybody's deal) and stage three
(making it). We're hip-deep in stage two just now, and it's taking a freaking
long amount of time to get through it all. Stage two is also the most
unnerving and nerve-wracking stage when there's a lot of money involved, as
there is in this situation.
So every day is a case of "Are we there yet?" and being told yes...almost.
I swear, it's the kind of thing that could lead a monk to murder.
Thing of it is...there's a LOT happening right now in the B5 universe, on a
multitude of fronts, some of it in response to TMoS, some of it coming up
completely on its own. All I can say at this moment is that if you've been
waiting for new stuff in the B5 universe, you may be getting your wish in
spades very soon.
Soon, I promise, all will be made clear. I don't like being Mr. Mysterioso on
this, but if I say too much, the-powers-that-be will use my head to make a
2.35:1 sized hole in the wall."
"2.35:1 sized hole? What else could this be? They say that we might be onto something here! It would appear that we will be getting updates on this in the near future. For now, I'm off to redecorate the throne room. I'm thinking pastels....
