http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2014/08/baby...duction-start/ J. Michael Straczysnki has announced plans for a Babylon 5 feature film, which is expected to enter production in 2016. Speaking at San Diego Comic Con last week, Straczsynki announced that he would soon be sitting down to write a Babylon 5 feature film, which is envisioned as a reboot of the iconic sci-fi series. JMS said that he plans to get the script locked down by the end of 2015 and the film would then enter production the following year in 2016. Next to nothing is known about the plot for this Babylon 5 feature film, beyond the fact that it is a reboot of the concept seen in the series. That said, J. Michael Straczynski has stated that he would like to use cast members from the series, such as Bruce Boxleitner and Mira Furlan, in new roles in the feature film. “I’d love to see Bruce as the President of the Earth Alliance”, he said.

Like the idea of more B5, which is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent tv shows ever, BUT a big part of me thinks that it will not mix well with the studio system. The studios will probably insist on a cast that straczynski won't be able to live with.in the long run I dont think it will happen. I really do not want to see a new tv show either. Im absolutely not a fan of contemporary tv. Cant think of one that isnt a pile of crap.

Let's hope it works out better than Crusade!
