New Babylon 5 Movie is being made

I loved the series, not sure how good a movie will be with the story already told.

Quote:

Steven Beck will direct a big screen adaptation of the popular sci-fi TV series Babylon 5. The movie, titled The Memory of Shadows, is intended for theatrical release and was written by series creator J. Michael Straczynski. Production Weekly reports that the project starts filming this April in the UK.

In "Shadows," the technology of the ancient and extinct Shadow race is being unleashed upon the galaxy by an unknown force, and Earthforce intelligence officer Diane Baker, whose brother was recently killed in a mysterious explosion, it out to find out who is behind the intergalactic conspiracy.

Joining her is Galen, a techno-mage who has been charged with keeping the technology out of the hands of those who would abuse it.

I've always loved the series, and the made for TV movies that have come out have all been pretty cool. The nice thing about Babylon 5 is that the world it is set in was developed to such an extent that lots of new stories can be told without really repeating what's already been told. I'll be looking forward to it. :)

|waves| Thanks Cleo,

That does sound great and I will certainly look forward to it!|bananna|

wow! thank for the information.

I liked watching the B5 dvds, altho the last season got kinda formulaic and rushed.

Any science fiction movie is better than no sf movie, no matter how you slice things, but somehow I feel they'll mung it up. The movie biz is too timid to go with new stories, so they reuse an old brand.

American nostalgia is totally lame.

But, what the fuck, it'll be fun to watch the dvd when it comes out.

I like babylon5 will keep an eye out for the movie.

Thanks Cleo
