Re: NEW Babylon 5 Series
Folks, I think the reboot is dead in the water now. A real shame.
Press release: After spending several years setting the pace of “The Flash” and other hard-racing TV superheroes on the CW network, Mark Pedowitz has reached the end of his current adventure. The longtime TV executive, who has run the one-time joint venture between CBS and Time Warner since 2011, is leaving the network as Nexstar Media Group prepares to acquire the outlet, which has its roots in two antecedent networks, UPN and The WB, that both catered to younger viewers. Nexstar is expected to close the deal at some point in the third quarter of 2022, but has already begun to run the network’s operations. Dennis Miller, a longtime TV executive who eventually moved into the world of venture capital, will take the reins as president of CW. Miller has served on Nexstar’s board of directors for the past few years. |

Re: NEW Babylon 5 Series
This isn’t really new information about a possible B5 project, but I was watching a You Tube video about the possible B5 reboot and mostly heard what had already been posted here. But I think I’d missed a detail or two that I don’t recall hearing before. And about 7 minutes in an interesting possible option was mentioned:
A show could theoretically be made in long-form for HBO Max with the intention of an edited down version would be shown on the CW channel. The HBO Max version being a kind of “Director’s Cut” version, and could be longer with all of the scenes involving mature content being edited out for the CW version. That’s an option that would never have occurred to me. If anyone is interested, I’m going to try to post the link below. I don’t know if I’m supposed to use any particular code but here is the link: https://youtu.be/sfNPlyyZvSk |

I have to say, if I had a choice I would much prefer new B5 to be made by HBO! |

I think we'll be lucky to see any treatment after Pedowitz exit at the CW. It's a shame, but I think the reboot is VERY dead (personal opinion based on past experience of frequent disappointments around B5 :lol:). The social media campaign should have been a strong sign to us all that things were getting desperate.
Maybe it's for the best. |
