[Estrella Negra] La noticia que todos est�bamos esperando

[V�ctor Gonzalo Soriano]

	Pues sí, se veía venir. Aunque a mí me hubiera gustado bastante más la
resurrección de Crusade. Si os dais cuenta, ahora están siendo MUY cautos: para
empezar, una peli para Tv; y LO MAS SEGURO (pero nada fijo), una MINI-serie.
	Nos vemos,

PD: Vaya MIERDA de webmail.

>Channel reaches nearly full distribution by hitting the 70 million<BR>
>home mark -- up 47% in distribution since the company was acquired in<BR>
>February '98. Already the largest provider of original primetime<BR>

>its focus to include a brand-new slate of original movie and<BR>
>miniseries projects.<BR>
><BR>
>Upcoming projects include:<BR>
><BR>
>BABYLON 5: The Legend of the Rangers -- The original creative team<BR>
>behind the popular science-fiction Babylon 5 television series and<BR>
>movies are on board to produce the all-new full-length action<BR>
>adventure Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers, to premiere<BR>
>exclusively on SCI FI later in the year. The two-hour telefilm will<BR>
>be executive produced by Douglas Netter and executive<BR>
>producer/creator J. Michael Straczynski, and is scheduled to begin<BR>
>production shortly. Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers takes up the<BR>
>story of the legendary Ranger fleet as they attempt to restore order<BR>
>to hundreds of civilizations devastated by the Shadow War. This new<BR>
>chapter in creator Straczynski's fascinating universe finds the elite<BR>
>and mysterious Ranger force -- a combination of male and female<BR>
>humans and alien Minbari trained in space warfare, the unique alien<BR>
>philosophy of the rangers, and every conceivable form of martial<BR>
>arts -- faced with deadly challenges in their attempt to create peace<BR>
>out of the war's destruction. Babylon 5 series cast members may also<BR>
>appear, with the movie serving as the pilot for a potential SCI FI<BR>
>Channel series.<BR>
><BR>
>JMS on the new project:<BR>
><BR>
>Well, that's at least ONE weight off my chest....<BR>
><BR>
>To those who've heard the news already, and those just now finding<BR>
>out...the SciFi Channel today announced that we have a new Babylon 5<BR>
>TV movie going into production that will also serve as a pilot for a<BR>
>likely new series.<BR>
><BR>
>The movie (and the series) is under the heading of BABYLON 5: THE<BR>
>LEGEND OF THE RANGERS. The specific title for the 2-hour movie's<BR>
>story is "To Live and Die in Starlight."<BR>
><BR>
>There isn't much I can tell you about the story because we're kinda<BR>
>keeping the details under wraps as much as possible for the time<BR>
>being. What little I can say....<BR>
><BR>
>It's set in the B5 universe just under 3 years after the events<BR>
>of "Objects at Rest." At this point there's one major character from<BR>
>the B5 universe in the script (a fan favorite). Where B5 was a heavy<BR>
>drama with some adventure/action elements, this one is a little more<BR>
>skewed toward adventure with underlying drama (which is about what<BR>
>you'd expect from the Anla-Shok).<BR>
><BR>
>We've been sitting on this information for a while now...such that<BR>
>we're already well into pre-production. We'll be shooting this movie<BR>
>around mid-May, well in advance of any potential actor's strike (the<BR>
>script is done and so far everybody likes it a LOT).<BR>
><BR>
>We've already got designs coming in on a new ship, and a new *kind*<BR>
>of ship...and we're going to be getting more into Minbari aesthetics,<BR>
>technologies and philosophy.<BR>
><BR>
>It's got some great characters, and it's a lot of fun.<BR>
><BR>
>I have other news to announce on other fronts...have since the end of<BR>
>the year, in fact...but I'm still sitting on the details awaiting<BR>
>another press release from another studio. What I *can* say is that I<BR>
>have a firm GO order to executive produce a new series (nominally SF)<BR>
>that will go into production after the potential SAG strike. When<BR>
>that's finally over, if the strike indeed happens, we pull the<BR>
>trigger and go into principal photography and it's an order for a<BR>
>full season's worth of episodes.<BR>
><BR>
>I can't give you any details right now on the subject, title, studio<BR>
>or network. That will have to await the studio's release...so don't<BR>
>even ask.<BR>
><BR>
>As far as doing both projects at the same time is concerned...it's<BR>
>actually quite common, as testified to by folks like John Wells and<BR>
>Aaron Sorkin and David Kelly and others. So there won't be any<BR>
>conflict.<BR>
><BR>
>More later.<BR>
