No, JMS hasn't said anything yet. Even though this issue is starting to dominate discussion on the moderated group, JMS is ignoring it, but continuing to post on other topics. Presumably, he thinks it would be bad form for him to use his leverage with fans against WB. But fans acting on their...

Given the Hollywood North Report story, as well as the My Entertainment World casting call that Channe linked to in the "news only" thread, I now think this whole Diane Baker / Joss Morgan story first floated by Film Jerk is almost certainly accurate. Just wondering though, does anyone...

Re: Newsonly: Policy suggestion This was just posted on jmsnews.com: http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/article.php?Article=754 It shows what are purported to be the casting breakdowns for "Diane Baker, Galen, Colonel Joss Morgan, and Tyrell". It's absolutely consistent with the Film Jerk...

As I'm sure 95% of the people reading this already know, some news has recently come out regarding the recasting of the old characters in the as-yet-not-officially-announced B5 movie The Memory of Shadows, and this has sparked a letter writing campaign to dissuade Warner Bros. from going...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. By "planted" I assume you mean that it was leaked by TPTB at WB rather than some underling who was spilling the beans on something that he/she wasn't supposed to. But what I'm asking about is, under this scenario in which the story was planted by TPTB...

I don't know if you already noticed this page of the Lurker's Guide: http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/reference/episodes.html But it purports to give you every "WHAM" episode in bold. Obviously, with B5, there's a tremendous gray area between arc and non-arc, and a lot of these calls are...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Please explain. By "the sources" do you mean your sources? Are you saying that your sources are saying that the Film Jerk story is a plant by WB--a bogus plot synopsis that features new characters--in order to ease the fans into accepting new actors...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. See, I actually disagree about it requiring a lot of exposition. Case in point: The scripts for the unproduced Crusade episodes "To the Ends of the Earth" and "The End of the Line". They both relied heavily on covert use of Shadow technology. But how...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. I take it you haven't read the script for the unproduced Crusade episode "The End of the Line"?

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Isn't Joe supposed to be the moderator of this forum? What are we supposed to do with no parental supervision? Anarchy will reign! ;)

Huh? What are you refering to? Are you saying that the Film Jerk article is up on Sci Fi Wire? I don't see it there.

Oh, I'm not suggesting they wouldn't be. But it does say "new lead character Colonel Joss Morgan", and doesn't mention any characters from the original B5 series except Lochley. If those three paragraphs are describing the main plot of TMoS, then it at least sounds like new characters are...

I know all about the recasting issue. But this is a separate question. Would JMS center the film around other *characters*, or is he absolutely committed to using the original *characters*?

What does everyone make of the latest rumor posted by Filmjerk (contains what could be TMoS spoilers)? Ages ago, JMS said that if he ever did a B5 film, he'd want to use the original cast. Unfortunately, I can't find the exact quote at the moment. Did he phrase it in such a way that it...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Jan--sorry, I think I wasn't very clear. *I* know who you are (I lurk on the moderated group frequently, but have only posted there a handful of times). My post was trying to say "for all those people who never visit any of these boards, who *don't* know...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. This is why it would be huge help if Cinescape or Scifi Wire would do some investigative reporting on this. Have them ask *their* contacts in the Hollywood casting game whether they can corroborate this, then report on what they find. That would...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. I have one gripe with the first sample letter posted on Keepb5alive.com. I don't think we should be mentioning Diane Baker. For one thing, we have no independent confirmation that the Diane Baker rumor is accurate. If you mention it in the letter, and...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Dark Horizons now has a very brief mention of the recasting controversy in its News Bites section. To my knowledge, this is the first mention of the story in the general SF media.

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Don't think this has been posted on this board yet, but on the jmsnews boards, it's been announced that a new website is being set up to organize the letter writing campaign: http://207.234.193.168/ One other thing. I think we should work towards...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Grossly irresponsible speculation on my part (but what else are messageboards for?): If this is actually true, is there the slightest chance that the "Diane Baker" rumor is some sort of trial balloon, floating an idea of some sort of compromise between WB...
