Another cryptic message from JMS

The Unstoppable Mr. 'K'
In a recent Usenet post, JMS made yet another cryptic mention of an upcoming project:
[quote]The trade paperback containing the first six issues of Supreme Power hit the stands this past week, for those who want to jump on.
Oh...and starting around the Ides of May, look to the wrong side of the river for word from Harry, Jack and Albert.
Not that I'm enjoying this, of course....

Whether or not the "Harry, Jack and Albert" reference is related to the upcoming B5 project is unknown.
Based on the clue, it seems (to me) as though there's going to be an announcement from the UK (London's South Bank is often known as the wrong side of the river) from Warner Brothers (Jack, Harry and Albert Warner founded WB) around May 15th.

[B]Another 2 months? Aww geez... [/B][/QUOTE]
I couldn't agree more!
[QUOTE][B]JMS likes being a Vorlon far too much.[/B][/QUOTE]
LMAO! I couldn't agree with you more either! Hmm I reckon his brain is like a Vorlon encounter suit. I'd just love to get in it!! ;) ;)
I kid:D

AFter doing some digging at Perception's website (accessible from the website in owigg's post), I found that Perception signed on with JoWood back in October. JoWood also recently bought the rights to publish a game based on Stargate SG-1. to play devil's advocate, and to help keep our feet on the ground...it is more likely that Perception is helping out with SG-1 development.
...BUT, I hope I'm not right!
[B]*gasp*...Dust!! That's scandalous!!;-)
I kid:D [/B][/QUOTE]
Haha! Now you know I said head....I mean brain (better stick with brain, else you'll be saying which head) LOL! :D :p
[QUOTE][B]Man is he enjoying this or what???!!! Well 2 months is not too long to wait. Bring it on!!![/B][/QUOTE]
How can you say that?!! Am dying here!! ;)
As for it being a game I thought this was ruled out awhile ago by some evidence or JMS quote.
:)
...just keep in mind all, regardless what the project is (so long as it's visual media), if it does well...the embers for a game may be rekindled!
No, I want the theatrical movie, dammit.
[B]Dust, I like your style! Don't you ever change!
[/B][/QUOTE]
Why thankyou! No worries there, I don't intend to. :)
[QUOTE][B]God, I hope it's not a game. Last thing I want is another damned PC game that'd I'd probably enjoy playing.
No, I want the theatrical movie, dammit. [/B][/QUOTE]
Funny...... few wks back I would've been all up for a game, but after seeing end of B5 I'd rather now see a series, something that will satisfy my B5 hunger every wk. A movie would also be cool but 2hrs max? Not enough! :)
Oh, yea, just wanted to say hi, been checking out firstones.com since the days of ITF but just registered for the forums.
Now if they could do something along the lines of Peter Jackson with LOTR (3 movies, 3 hours each, shot at the same time), then I think we'd have one hell of a story, but I don't see any studio taking a gamble of that size on a fanbase like B5's.

JoWooD Productions has announced that they have secured the worldwide publishing and marketing rights for videogames based on the science fiction television series, Stargate SG-1. Part of the agreement includes the development video games by [B]Perception Ltd.[/B] for both Stargate SG-1 and the spin-off series, Stargate Atlantis.
--Looks like Perception's onboard for the Stargate game, not B5...drat
Oh yeah, and welcome to the forums!!! Glad you're here!
[B]2 hours not enough? How about 3 movies of 3 hours each. There is balance in the three.
[/B][/QUOTE]
That would be better but I agree with freejack that if it were on every wk you relate more to the characters, plus say 20 eps thats 20wks to look forward to and hopefully another great season! And
in a movie you don't really get to see their strengths,weaknesses or relationships growing/dying. You can't really fall in love with characters in 2 hours less its the same characters that have been in a series IMO. I will still be happy for a movie
But I am really hoping for a series.
btw Welcome aboard! :)
rarely do major game makers make good show/movie -> game ports. In fact, alsmot every one Ive played, kind of sucks. ITF did a great job, and really brought a great story to the table with their game. However, they were not one of the big players in the game market either.
Look at the most recent Star Trek based game. It had the full potential to be a great game. Based losely on the Mirror Universe that we saw the first time in TOS and again in some very good books and several episodes of DS9 that didnt suck. Ends up, the game is repetetive with poor voice cameos and missions that have you doing the same thing over and over. very lame.
give me another quality show jms.

[B]well to be honest, I hope its not a game either. Id much rather have a good new series, than another subpar game.[/b][/quote]
I wasn't aware we had a game o be subpar, and B5ITF is about as far from subpar as you can get.

Sierra not a big player in the game market? Also of note is that the story was written by a couple of excellent writers with some very very good ideas, and had input from jms too.

That game doesn't even count as a game, let alone a ST game. :)
BTW, seeing as JMS created the Vorlons would that make him their god? Might explain the linguistic rebus' he keeps giving out. ::robot:
Examples: Knights of the Old Republic, Tie Fighter, Aliens vs Predator, the Buffy games...
Ok so the Buffy games use the cast of the show but they don't follow a storyline from the actual series.
Of course that doesn't always work, the Star Trek game mentioned above for example. I don't think it has even been or will be released in Europe.

On the other hand, that's probably because the original series didn't have an overall plot structure tying everything together. Thus, those games could be made to be completely separate from the series.
[B]Well, hey, let's not forget the excellent [i]Star Trek: 25th Anniversary[/i] and its sequel [i]Star Trek: Judgment Rites[/i]. Those used the original series cast, and were excellent.

The Buffy ones do to a point! They have the same main baddy guy in the first Buffy game as in the series that she has to defeat. :)
