<font color="#ffffff" size="+1">JMS talks B5LR set construction and cast
</font><font size="3">Plus he comments on recent B5LR.com news items</font>
A couple of days ago, JMS made a post regarding B5LR in the moderated Babylon 5 newsgroup. In it, he talked about the sets and cast, and addressed some of the recent news.
Previously, here at B5LR.com, we exclusively reported who the fan favorite would be, and who was helming the episode. However, JMS explains in the message how he can't address this news until after the Sci-Fi Channel have made their press release.
Here is his message in full, which also includes news on Crusade's ratings on the Sci-Fi Channel.
<font face="courier">Okay, some general updates....
The first week of Crusade on SFC actually outpulled B5, coming in at 1.0 for the week, with B5 at .7 (up from .6 the previous week...the series is now in its second rerun cycle at SFC, and is again beginning the pattern of rising as the arc starts moving). For the week Crusade was the #5 rated show, B5 #10.
So B5 now constitutes 2 out of the top 10 shows for SFC, and Crusade is the highest rated strip show on SFC.
On the Legend of the Rangers....
Sets are being built even as I write this. Designs have been worked out that take the B5 look to a new level, including a ship unlike anything we've ever done before, very ambitious, very different appearance.
Most of the cast has been set, there are only two roles left to be cast and those should be locked down in a couple of days. It's starting to pick up considerable speed and momentum. SFC and WB are *extremely* pleased with the script.
There are some comments here and there about the B5 actor who will appear in the TV movie, and the director, but I can't comment pending a press release from SFC, which should be out shortly.
I think people are going to be pleased and surprised by the look and feel of the show...it has an energy that feels a lot like S3 of B5...by turns funny, intense, weird, with action and some very nice character stuff.
It's gonna be very cool....</font>
