    Well, I know production has already begun, so I'd assume it'll be aired sometime this year... *fingers crossed*

    I found this posted on a newsgroup but I'm not sure if its already been posted at Firstones. It doesn't give any insight as to when the movie will air, but it does shed some light on the status of the project.

    From JMS:

    Date: 5/21/2001 8:49 AM Eastern Daylight Time

    Well, all of last week I was in Vancouver for the first week of
    shooting on the two-hour TV movie BABYLON 5: LEGEND OF THE RANGERS.
    (I'm back now for a while.) It's been a terrific experience to date.
    The dailies look great. Mike Vejar is on board to direct, and is
    keeping the look and feel consistent with what we've done before, but
    at the same time (in collaboration with our new Director of
    Photography Henry Chan) is taking the look even a step further. The
    sets (courtesy of production designer Steve Gaeghan and his band of
    artistic types) look more detailed, more textured, more realistic than
    much of what we've done before on B5. (This is in no way to diminish
    what we did in B5 on sets, it's just a different
    approach.)

    Andreas Katsulas showed up mid-week as G'Kar, and despite having been
    away from that makeup for three years, was instantly back in
    character starting with the first shot and straight on through.

    The cast have proven themselves excellent. It's natural to take some
    time to find your character, and find the lines...but from the moment
    they landed on set, they had their lines letter perfect, and the
    chemistry is there between them. SFC has seen the dailies and they're
    absolutely enchanted with what's on film.

    I wish I had colorful stories to tell, but we're talking here about a
    bunch of dedicated
    professionals who appreciate the legacy of B5 and are doing
    everything they can to make this next installment the best possible.
    (About the only negative thing to happen all week was my losing my
    California state ID midweek, which I'll have to go in to replace this
    week at my local DMV.) It's a very elaborate production, with
    everything from pyros to wire works and other stuff, in addition to
    the usual glut of CGI we tend to do, but so far it's all going quite
    well.

    I've been taking digital pictures of the production which will soon
    be available on the SFC website...and there are some beauts there.
    I'll let you know when they're up.

    In the interim...know that the show is going extremely well, and I
    think that people are going to like the cast a lot. They're good,
    well-trained, dedicated people.

    I think it's going to go over very well indeed.

    A little on the cast:

    Just off the top of my head and in no real order... Dylan Neal is
    playing David Martel, our lead character, a Ranger who's come through
    some especially rough times; Alex Zahara is Dulann, a Minbari, his
    second; Myriam Sirois is Sarah Cantrell of Mars Dome One, weapons
    specialist; Enid Raye Adams is Firell, Minbari, a healer; Warren
    Takeuchi as Kitaro Sasaki of Earth, communication and translations;
    Dean Marshall as Malcolm Bridges, covert intelligence and
    infiltration; David Storch as Tafeek, Minbari, a political and first
    contact guy; and a Narn, Na'Feel (played by Jennie Hogan) and a
    Drazi, Tirk (played by Gus Lynch), both recent
    recruits/ members of the Rangers.

    They have to make it before they can show it... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
    Probably about 3-6 months.

    Yeah, enough time for us to pop out, grab some grub at the supermarket, put on the kettle, have a coffee, and site down....

    As much as I like B5 and what JMS has done, the one thing I don't understand is why he reuses names all the time.

    Especially David. First it's Jefferey David Sinclair. Then Sheridan's dad, and his son. And now this guy David Martel. Dulann..Delenn. And I recall a Tannier, which sounds like Lennier. Malcolm also being used more on TV these days.

    Enough rant though. And yes I relize David is a common name, it just seems a bit too common in B5. But dispite my pointless minor gripes I am looking forward to this movie.

    I agree with PsiCop on that one. I only have a problem with the David Martel name though, not with the others. The first thought I had when I was reading up on B5:LR was that this David was going to be David Sheridan. I think it's just a little too confusing at first.

    Come on, the guy has an entire universe floating around in his head (I know what that feels like), maybe his imagination gets tired when it comes time to think up names? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
