Me too. And the thought of seeing B5 on the big screen really does my heart good.

Mmmmm....Whatever it is, I think it's gonna be goooooddd. JMS is having too much fun with us for it to be otherwise.

My concern is that it doesn't become another Legend of the Rangers snooze-fest.

Legend of the Rangers was attempting to set up a series.

A B5 theatrical film would not have such a burden, so the two really can't be compared.

It seems some have little faith in the fans and JMS, not to mention a vast misconception of the overwhelming numbers of fans around the world.

If only one person out of each household that bought just one DVD season went at least once to the theatre...the film would at least double its money. That's a very, very conservative way to put it too, so it would actually do extremely well.

Studios are also learning that great genre films can make good money in cult status and if done well can reach over the cult boundries.

Oh yee of little faith. Remember, "faith manages."

I believe very firmly that it is, in fact, a theatrical movie. Anything less would not bring the biggest bang for the B5 buck that I think WB has realized is out there.

At the very least, it's a mini-series.

I think we may have got what we wanted.

B5 will make an excellent film - more cerebral than most of the tosh about at the moment.

If it is a theatrical movie, the challenge will be to do just that. B5 already has wide recognition. This could be an opportunity to show the mainstream what real science fiction can do.

There are topics on it below, notably the one about the IGN article.

That said, we've been short on JMS facts, and loooooong on speculation..... so no.

"Ides of May", which means May 15 or thereabouts, seems to be when we'll get our next data dump.

Sorry, I'm not allowed to answer this question under pain of death.
