I love and deeply respect the work of everyone who made Babylon 5 possible.
I understand JMS will only write more if the price is right.
I also understand that he once said in regards to Dr. Franklin after the passing of Richard Biggs "That character will not be recast."
Just wondering, since the technology is nearing perfection...
What if Peter Jackson and WETA wanted to made a Babylon 5 movie and include the original characters? After seeing the impossible on the screen under Jackson's direction, it now seems possible to re-create the image and expressions of Richard Biggs in CGI. If it was done with deep respect, and an actor could be found to immitate perfectly the voice and speaking mannerisms of Richard, Dr. Franklin "could" be included in a collaboration between JMS and Jackson. Everyone would have to agree to it, especially Richard's family. But what better tribute to his gifts as an actor and person could there be?
If Gollum can be brought to life so perfectly, surely soon a real person's likeness will show up in a motion picture in the near future.
