I think that's within the realm of possibility....

what hint?

it isn't clear 'no' or clear 'yes', but its good sign that he considers giving us insight updates about TMoS when he can talk about it.

An informative quote of remarkable clarity compared to what we Usually get from the Vorlon...

"Well, as answers go, short, to the point, utterly useless and totally consistent, what I've come to expect from a Vorlon."

"Good."

It's all in how one phrases the question.

Well it certainly goes down as good news, But no firm detail.

I guess we have to wait for the press announcement before we can drink that champagne.

Tangent...

Speculation makes it look as though production might be happening in the UK. This is perfectly wonderful for many reasons, not the least are the numerous great films connected with production there already.

Another thought floated through my head tonight while watching the last of season two and start of season three. Isn't Claudia Christian involved up to her belly in production of a [hopefully] hit show in the UK at this time? Filming there would make her participation in a B5 movie much easier...

One can always hope.

But I want Crusade too!!!

I think mike_9000 meant that this is an actual confirmation that it is a feature film. Last I checked, this was still unconfirmed.

So, when I posed the question in the JMS's recent posts got me thinking thread, the consensus, including my own opinion, seemd to be that he would not be giving us that kind of look behind the scenes. Maybe we were wrong!?!

Syntatically, it is neither a yes nor a no, but I look at is as much more yes than no, given it comes from JMS. He doesn't seem to like to build up hopes unless there's a pretty good chance something will happen. At least, that's how I coose to see it!

I am very happy that someone asked this of JMS over on the newsgroup, and I am quite happy with the answer.

Woo hoo!

That's what got me wondering. I didn't think so at the time but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I'm pretty sure it's a yes except of course he can't quite say that yet, can he?

And you're welcome.

I had wondered if someone from this forum had posed it to JMS, and, interestingly enough, I had wondered if it was you.

So, armed with confirmation of my hunch, let me directly thank you as opposed to indirectly.

Thank you, Jan!

I read that as:
"I enjoy talking online, so, as long as Warner doesn't tell me to Stop, I'll keep on doing it."

IOW, JMS posts and discusses whatever projects he's working on at the time.
He's been doing it for about 15 years now.
Unless someone Forces him to quit, I see no reason to expect him to change his habits.

Shhhhhh! Careless tongues cost lives.

Personally, I'm glad that JMS doesn't give us too much. I remember the shocks of seasons 3 and 4 and enjoying and speculating about each twist and turn. Yet it's ages until Revenge of the Sith comes out and already I feel like I watched it last year. It's not that I actively go look for plot details but friends and the tabloids do like to let slip them secrets. Now we all know that Padme' (what an odd name for a young lady) is really Han Solo in drag.
Han: "Leia I can't marry you I'm your mother."
Leia; "Nooooooooooooooooooo!"
