Douglas Netter, executive producer of B5, Crusade and now Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers, told Dreamwatch magazine that the new telemovie has taken a new angle in its casting.
"The show is purposely designed by Joe for a younger crew than Babylon 5," he revealed to interviewer Frank Garcia. "We think we have chosen well. We're deeply impressed with what we're seeing."
His admiration grew for the cast when it came to the filming of a particularly difficult scene, where with one steadicam shot the crew had to gather in a circle and perform a ritual. "Each one of them performed well and there were no lines blown," he recalls. "It just seemed to me at that point, boy, the choices are right."
Netter also talked about short-lived Crusade. Of its return, he said, "There is a possibility. We like Crusade a great deal. We had certain problems with the parties involved. The fans seem to like Crusade a great deal. We've been asked about the possibility of 'webisodes' of Crusade [on the internet]. We have encouraged that. Doing 'webisodes' should be fun."
The full interview with Douglas Netter can be found in issue 84 of Dreamwatch magazine.
