Casting Rumors

Are there any rumors about Babylon 5 actors buying tickets to Canada yet?

In order to start filming in September JMS needs to have the stars and sound stage agreed by now.

Good angle, there.

Yea, I thought September seemed a bit rushed, too.

I hope they don't blow it by trying to rush it. It's likely (I hope) that this is more an indication that they'd already done some preliminary talking, and felt they could confidently sign someone up by then.

I hope.

As of JMS's post dated 7/24, the location for filming isn't set:

Quote:

Ultimately, whether we shoot in Vancouver or elsewhere
will be a function of the deal that gets made locally.

He did say at SDCC that it would be Vancouver but that was responding to a pushy fan trying to get an audition.

I also wouldn't hold him to the exact dates since he just posted the other day that his first priority has to be 'Changeling' and then he can work on B5: TLT and the new historical film.

Tonight I sent this note to all parties with whom discussions are or
have taken place concerning convention appearances through the rest of
the year.

With regrets to all concerned, the crush of work has left me no choice
but to cancel all convention plans through at least February '07, and
potentially beyond that. This is something I have been agonizing over
for some time, but recent events have left no room for maneuvering.

My sincere and profound apologies to all concerned. I hope you will
understand that this was not a decision made lightly, and it is my hope
that we can reconvene in the future.

With regrets --

No clues but it is good to see JMS is busy.

Like the man has to apologize for having found a sudden surge of interest in his work.

Go get 'em, JMS!

Jeffery "Kosh" Willerth talked about possible Babylon 5 characters for the new episodes in podcast #28. His first guess was Sheridan.
He did not mension either Kosh or his wife's character Lyta but was in a good mood.

I'm afraid to get too excited. Can it really be true??

I must admit there is a lot of posabilities here.Sinclaires girlfriend,Zack,Bester,Vir are a few I'd like to see.The soul hunters,agents of the shadows(like the one that ate organs in series 1)would be a few things I'd like to see.

Exciting eh
