After months of speculation (and I think the members on B5TV kind of already knew) JMS has confirmed a Babylon 5 animated movie from Warner Bros! Title and release date to be announced by Warners next week. Already produced and in the can, it will be coming out soon...

@Kyehlar, sorry I probably should have put my post about the new logo in the previous thread about this 'secret project' for continuity of discussion – here's a link to that thread which contains the discussion of all the background on the project: http://www.b5tv.com/showthread.php?t=46034

JMS has just unveiled a slightly new version of the B5 logo for the secret project (animation? documentary?) that he says he is going to reveal this time next week. https://twitter.com/straczynski/status/1651262362341498880 Whatever the project is, the fact that they've gone to the trouble of...

Sixty-four is no age at all. Very sad to hear. Star Trek had the bigger budget, and it was usually evident on screen, but I always thought that the set design was more often than not better on B5 than Deep Space Nine. Just compare C&C to DS9's ops, or the Zocolo and central corridor with its...

I took a look at eBay completed listings. A complete set of Fan Experience books and blu-ray sold for $299 on a BIN, which I think is probably more realistic. Often the Amazon prices are artificially inflated to silly amounts by whatever algorithm they use for pricing. That said, we're sitting...

The collected hardback book club editions of the three trilogies – Psi-Corps, Centauri and Technomages – are rare and go for a lot of money. They're kinda my holy grails in terms of B5 book collecting. The original 15 volume set of B5 script books are hard to come across now, and the B5@20 book...

I'm potentially interested, but have no funds until the end of the month. If you haven't sold it before then, let me know! I'm currently watching one on eBay that's starting at £50, but to be fair that's at the lower end of the pricing scale. A general question for the community: why does it go...

On the subject of souls in B5, I remember reading something by JMS decades ago, where he was giving a preview of Sleeping in Light, and he mentioned something was in the episode about souls becoming stars. I think he was trying to say every soul becomes a star, or every star represents a soul...

I check in every day or so, waiting patiently on news on the reboot! I'd like to think activity might pick up this summer when the super-secret SDCC project is revealed?

That's a Vree in Grail isn't it?

Personally I think that's just somebody spitballing, making the assumption that since WB have stakes in both HBO and The CW they can mix and match the show on the different networks. But I don't think that's the case, based on what JMS has said. If the show goes ahead it will be for The CW only...

I can't find the tweet, but when someone asked JMS that when he said all the original surviving cast would be in it, whether that meant ALL the surviving cast, he very emphatically said it meant everybody, which I took to mean Andrea Thompson, Jason Carter, Julie Caitlin Brown, Tracy Scoggins...

Thanks! Thanks! And who knows, it's entirely possible that JMS will fold part of the Crusade storyline into this new series? I think this new B5 will be very different to the original.

In real life I work as a journalist, and I recently wrote this piece about how scientists view B5 and how they've been inspired by the show. I'm not sure if many people have read it so I thought I'd post the link here. Please feel free to share on social media etc...

I have to admit, I had to stop watching them. I think the last one of theirs that I watched was Signs and Portents. Are they still doing their 'would it make a good Star Trek episode?' schtick? It just felt to me that they didn't really 'get' B5 - their favourite episodes are the most Star...

Unless he wants to hold onto the story in case he wants to use some of the plot points, maybe in the B5 reboot, maybe in a completely different project one day. Or maybe he already has and doesn't want to give away that he's used them elsewhere? Though I disagree that he doesn't do...

Tweeted to support #B5onCWin23. Still number 2 here in the UK, quite amazing given the Queen's funeral going on at the same time, just shows the support B5 has always had over here. Hopefully WB are watching!

There were plenty of great American sf authors around in the 2000s. Vernor Vinge, Robert Sawyer, Neal Stephenson, Kim Stanley Robinson, Walter Jon Williams and others. Ok, maybe they didn't always write space opera (well, Walter Jon Williams did, check out his Dread Empire Trilogy) but SF has...

See, I'd say Tracy Scoggins, Andrea Thompson etc are main cast. I'd imagine the Telepath War is near the top of the possible stories and might best suit the available cast members, but how do we know it's only one story? Maybe there are several stories, a bit like Lost Tales, there could be one...

Yes! I'm hoping this whole B5 revival will see some more official merchandise too as well as the great stuff B5Books have been producing. JMS said that all the surviving cast are in this new project. I wonder if that includes Tracy Scoggins, Andrea Thompson, Julie Caitlin Brown, and Jason...
