JMS did indeed write Grey 17 Is Missing and all the other episodes in the third season. He also wrote Acts Of Sacrifice.

I felt compelled to respond to this thread because "Intersections In Real Time" is one of my favourite episodes. I find the episode very realistic and the writing and acting of the absolutely highest standard. As for weak shows I would single out TKO as the weakest one. I do not like either the...

The 18 pound limit is mandated by the EU and should be the same in all the member countries barring some special provision they might have in regards to the treaty. This rule actually predates the EU and was issued when it was known as the EC (Europian Community). It is possible that countries...

According to EU rules you can import goods up to 18 pounds without paying VAT or customs duty. The 18 pound limit is the price of the product without the shipping cost. Buying the TV movie set from amazon.com and importing it to England would be 22 pounds without shipping. Thus VAT and possibly...

A late reply here as I have been busy with other things. I have read through the page you linked to very thoroughly and have drawn the following conclusions: 1. All the region 1 season sets are transfered the wrong way as we agree on. The author has yet to examine season 5 though but I doubt...

According to that site the effects shot have the same flaws in both R1 and R2. He does note however that the effect shots are framed differently and that it differs from scene to scene whether R1 or R2 has better framing. It should also be noted that B5 was shot on film and thus suffers from...

Thanks for posting these news but this is already being discussed in the TV movie thread.

I consider it essential for Franke to compose the score. It would not be real B5 without him. I would consider a combined orchestral and synth soundtrack optimal. This would be similar to what was featured on the show but the orchestral portion should be greater in a feature film. The Berlin...

Although "The Memory of Shadow" remains a very strong possibility I have also become fond of "The Myth of Sheridan" after listening to the SiL commentary.

What Drakh war? As I understand it there were two major encounters with the Drakh. One was covered in the A Call To Arms TV movie and the other took place around the time of the future events depicted in War Without End. I think it is unlikely that the movie will take place in that era.

My reference to Panavision was indeed a reference to the aspect ratio itself but not the actual equipment used to film the LOTR movies as I had no idea what type of equipment was used prior to reading it in this thread. As to this subject I agree that it should not be the focus of this thread...

Colonyearth: I am by no means a film expert but as I understand it the LOTR films are presented in a Panavision 2.40:1 aspect ratio. There is very little difference in size between the 2.35:1 and 2.40:1 aspect ratios and that difference is made smaller because the projected theatrical aspect...

According to the page you linked to the Star Wars films have a 2.35:1 Cinemascope aspect ratio in which "there is usually slight matting in theatres which results in a theatrical aspect ratio closer to 2.40:1." This is the matting you refer to in your post above. If I remember correctly the...

I believe the LOTR films used an aspect ratio of 2.40:1 but yes 2.35:1 is much more common in epic feature films.

This has been a very emotional B5 day for me. First this afternoon I finally get my season 5 set. I then begin by watching Sleeping In Light with the JMS commentary. It was a very moving experience and then I log on to this website and read the news about JMS all but confirming a B5 theatrical...

Regarding the issue of a series here is an excerpt from my post on this subject from the older thread concerning this: "One thing that I think is worth considering is that JMS did not preclude a series all togeather in his most recent update but early posts from him regarding this project did...

It seems clear that this means there will be an official announcement from WB in May and that JMS is not at liberty to discuss it prior to that. I still think this is a miniseries although the immense time it has taken to negotiate this may indicate a theatrical movie. Remember that there is a...

I just wanted to add a few thoughts regarding this being a computer game. I personally think there is no chance that this project is a computer game and especially not a resurrected "Into The Fire" from Sierra. First of all it is highly unlikely a B5 computer game would be produced without an...

I think this is either a mini-series or a theatrical movie. Although the immense preparation period would suggest something of a theatrical scale I think a mini-series is more likely. One thing that I think is worth considering is that JMS did not preclude a series all togeather in his most...
