Just a quick hello direct from the set of Babylon 5: The Lost Tales.
It's 4:51 p.m. and we just finished lunch (crew call at 10 a.m. lunch
at 4). Bruce Boxleitner just completed a series of shots in a
Starfury, his first time back in the saddle. We're ahead of schedule
and might actually wrap filming a day early. (It always goes faster if
you don't actually put film in the camera.) We've introduced a new
Centauri character -- Prince Regent Vintari, third from the throne -- a
new ISN reporter played by Teryl Rothery, a priest played by Alan
Scarfe, and a character who may have come too close to certain dark
forces played by Bruce Ramsey. Part One of "Voices in the Dark"
wrapped on Friday, and we should have part two done tomorrow, after a
long sequence shooting in the hallway of a new Minbari Presidential
Cruiser built for the Interstellar Alliance.

It so good to have something to look forward to from the B5 universe.

The way Crusade was smothered at birth was tragic and I didn't care much for LOTR (no! not the Peter Jackson films).

This looks good and the method of distribution may give JMS and co the chance to take chances.

Amen to that. I just hope we get some indication soon of when we are likely to see a R2 release. I would much prefer not to have to buy R1 (since the more we do that, the less likely we are to get future releases over here), but will if the gap is too great.

Gateworld has a fairly detailed synopsis of the first two stories. Sounds accurate, and interesting if it is. OBviously, its a huge spoiler as well...

SPOLIER WARNING!

I read it. Couldn't resist, 'cause it's been so long since we've had anything new in the B5 universe.

per release dates, imdb has this:

Release dates for
Babylon 5: The Lost Tales - Voices in the Dark (2007) (V)
advertisement Country Date
USA 24 July 2007
USA 27 July 2007 (San Diego Comicon)
Germany August 2007


Also Known As (AKA)
Babylon 5: The Lost Tales USA (working title)

Do you think that the German date means the date for region 2? Or is it just German R2?

New Lost Tales Article from CGSociety

CGSociety is running a series of articles on The Lost Tales, including a picture or two we haven't seen yet.


There be serious spoilers here!

That's a great article, but people should be warned that the text does include a rather significant spoiler.

Err, which I see you have already edit/corrected ;P Still great article though

[vacantlook]

Wow! Serious spoilers indeed! This is definitely the kind of spoiler that is worth avoiding! Unless this ends up being yet another instance of things not being what they at first appear. Either way, part of me wishes I hadn't read it, but the other part of me finds myself exponetially more eager now for this thing to be released so I can buy it!!

[Shabaz]

That's a really cool article, and the spoiler has me excited for the most part.

And as far as things not being as they first appear goes, look closely at the storyboards of the sequence shown on the first page. It seems that they could go either way with the spoiled plot point coming to pass or not after the sequence that is shown in the storyboard.

It made my blood pressure rise several points though! So tantalizing.

I was eyeing that storyboard and wondering. Whatever way it's used to further the story, it sounds awesome.

OMFG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (to break finally into Internet slang after so many years)

What a spoiler point. Wowsers!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Also, if I can quote one non-spoiler....

At the end of filming, Straczynski was able to return to Los Angeles for a few days to follow up on the screenplays and comic scripts he had put aside and to say hello to his cat Buddy, who had gone on a food strike and would only eat when Straczynski called in via speaker phone.

That damn cat.....

[vacantlook]

I like that they got in a jibe -- intentional or not -- at Warner Bros for having "misplaced" all the original CGI from the show, and how fan recreations were turned to for Atmosphere to have a jumping off point for their now more advanced models.

I also got a big smile reading them describe Straczynski as "never at loss for a story".

Sorry if this has been asked before but, will TLT come out on HD-DVD?
