The secret Babylon 5 project is... an animated movie


Quote:
It’s not clear if the Babylon 5 reboot will ever see the light of day, when you consider how the Writers Guild of America is now on strike and how corporate shuffles had already put its fate in jeopardy. But nine months ago, the creator of the award-winning space drama teased a second secret Babylon 5 project — one that would feature every surviving member of the main cast.

Today, the secret has been revealed: it’s a full-length animated movie from Warner Bros. Animation.

Fuller details will arrive in one week: we don’t even have the title yet. But on his Patreon page, series creator J. Michael Straczynski (JMS) calls it “the most Babylon 5 feeling project we’ve done since the original series [...] not a sidebar story, or an unrelated sequel, or a re-do of anything that came before...it’s new, and it’s absolute, unmitigated fun, classic B5 down to a molecular level.”

We’ve known for over two weeks that today would be the day, thanks to JMS’s tweets and that Patreon page. We’d already seen a new logo and a mysterious acronym, B5:TRH. He also told the world last August that the entire project has long been finished — which means the writer’s strike shouldn’t affect it one bit — and that it won’t debut until San Diego Comic-Con 2023, which begins July 20th.

I am happy with anything Babylon 5-related, the original concept is a classic in sci fi, but most of all I would wish Warner Bros. to release on Blu-ray discs the upscaled/upgraded version of the original series that has been released digitally.

The movie is supposed to be in the works, they may not even have a composer yet.

No, finished as in totally complete and ready to be released, according to JMS himself.

Apparently WB will release more information about this project next week.

Nice to see the character of Sinclair being featured in this animated effort so many of the cast now sadly no longer with us.

Marcus still in cryo then.....

Interesting that they've recast the roles of those departed. Perhaps softening us up for when the reboot recasts everyone.

I'm fine with this. It's a shame that they have to do it, but ultimately if we want to see those characters inhabit that universe again then there's no way around it.

Look forward to seeing more details

Happy enough for a recast now as time has past and its such a great premise for a sci fi show.

Anyway, first look at the film:

Lol, yeah. I know Joe considers that story canon, but it's morally problematic to say the least!

IIRC, the first 3 stations were destroyed during construction.

4 was
[Show spoiler]taken by Sinclair (who later became Valen) and was used by the Minbari as a base of operations against the Shadows in the First Shadow War

I think the real problem a lot of the Babylon 5 stuff which followed the series was that it felt like he'd already told the story he wanted to tell and it was either dealing with loose ends or introducing "ancient mystical badies" who lacked the substance of the Vorlon/Shadows plot.

Looks like ReBoot/MTV Spider-Man. Fitting, given JMS wrote Spider-Man for many years
