JMS sobre un posible "reboot" de B5

[Carles]

Un mensaje relámpago de JMS hoy sobre un posible (aunque improbable,
diría yo) reboot de B5. Que el río suene no es malo, digo yo. No tengo
tiempo de traducirlo ahora; si alguien tiene ganas, adelante ;)

*BABYLON 5 UPDATE*
J. Michael Straczynski via Facebook
July, 2011

Last year, the studio offered a full season of a new and rebooted B5 as
part of a new distribution venue they were creating (us and several
other shows from the same studio were part of the same deal). We'd have
a full season, a big budget, and total creative control. The
negotiations (not between us but between the participants of the venue)
dragged on for over a year, we were told repeatedly this is going to
happen, but finally, the participants couldn't make the math work. So we
and the other three shows that they were hoping to put out there got set
aside.

At this point, I've told the studio that if this isn't going to move
ahead, there's something else they need to consider and there's a very
informal negotiation going on now in that regard. We'll see where it
goes from there.

But again, B5 was never created to be a Deep Space Franchise, we wanted
to do our 5 years and get out clean. That was my intent going into this,
and if that's where this ends up, I'm happy to stick with that.

There are other film and TV projects I'm doing, including a deal just
concluded to write a pilot for Will Smith's company on a show that's
been pretty much pre-sold for a full season overseas (two bidders want
it badly for Europe, and now they're just looking for a US
partner)....The new show is intended as a mainstream prime-time drama.
