    check IMDB...
    only mentioned as an "associative producer" on "Alma Mater"

    It's probably a typo... Steve Beck, not Steven Beck, even though that Beck guy doesn't have an impressive CV either.
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Hmmm... interesting. Having Galen in it would be very cool! I wonder how accurate this report is though? Just curious as JMS said nothing in his recent post... then again he probably couldn't.

    All i know, is that i'm really excited about B5 again, and think its about time to start watching the series over.

    the only problem is, once i get done watching them all, its like depressing, cause it was SO good, and its over.

    I agree that niether is thrilling me right now, although one has atleast directed something before. I have not seen 13 Ghosts, but Ghost Ship did not impress me at all.

    Hopefully we will find out which one it is soon so we may scoure the net for anything else he may have doen that isn't on IMDB.

    So, does someone else want to begin the traditional pointing out of recycled character elements, or shall I? ;)

    The truth points to itself.

    I wonder how long until the movie is released, of course I want to see it right now but I also think it would be better if they take their time, even if it means waiting 2-3 years.

    My bet is on Spring 2006, if they start shooting in April. They'll probably be finished with the shoot June/July, and that leaves plenty of time for post production. (It might be even possible that they'll be releasing it on the same day that TG first premiered, though I don't think that WB(movie division) would go for that..)

    Did you see what I saw?

    The Hunt for Red October (1990) (visual effects art director: ILM)
    The Abyss (1989) (effects art director: ILM)

    ILM = Industry Light & Magic?

    Sounds interesting :)
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    So if they're gonna start shooting in April I assume JMS was over here in the UK getting the pre-production stuff set up? Checking out the studios etc?
