A rare post from work: Babylon 5 news

I'm in my lunch period now. Anyway:

J. Michael Straczynski announced at San Diego Comic Con recently that Warner Bros. has greenlit a new Babylon 5 project-Babylon 5: The Lost Tales. Currently planned to go direct to DVD (though there's a chance of broadcast, too), JMS described the the project as "An anthology show set in the Babylon 5 universe." "...stories I had for the series but never had a chance to actually put into gear-a bunch of different stories I never had time to produce."

JMS is slated to write, produce and direct the segments, about 30 minutes each. As of SDCC, the plan is to shoot the first of them in September, do post-production the last quarter of 2006 and the first DVD should come out in the second quarter of 2007.
