    All the really good ones. :) He directed the one where Sheridan is captured, for example.

    I would most prefer to see Vejar direct it. I'd like to see what he could do with a movie.

    Actually, can anyone name some of the episodes that vejar did? I haven't followed who directed which episodes. [/B][/QUOTE]
    He also directed "The Thunderbirds", which I haven't seen, but has received some of the worst reviews I've heard this year. Ebert & Roeper both put it on their Worst of the Year list with The Olsen Twins New York movie.
    I'd like to see Vejar get it, if they go with new blood, depending on how Mirrormask looks, I'd like to see Dave McKean get it, he has a cool visual style. You can see it in a lot of Neil Gaiman's work.

  • ok, you sold me with Comes the Inquisitor.

    Insurrection fell victim to the curse of odd number trek films, of which it is one of the better ones.

    Thunderbirds is supposed to be campy and silly (I to have yet to see it), the original show was. And most critics, as a rule it seems, do not like campy.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Well that's just the problem with it... it's more like "Thunderbirds Kids" than the original thunderbirds.

    It's your answer to the other thread about what the hell is going wrong with this world! :p :D

    It would be good to get a fresh view of the B5 universe through a directors eyes that hasn't touched it before.

    Otherwise there may be the risk of "just a long episode" syndrome that has happened with some other TV-to-Movie creations (IMHO).
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Frakes isn't bad actually but he does seem to have hit an own goal with the Thunderbirds film. Cost $50m to make and only pulled in $5m in opening weekend. So I was told anyway. I dunno how well he would transfer over to the B5 universe though. Would be interesting.

    Vejar also did some cracking eps for the last season of DS9. He directed a few that had excellent battles in, were really dramatic. Thankfully he had nothing to do with the rubbish last ep though.
  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    Hell, he worked on such series as the original mission:impossible (though not as director), Hulk, Magnum, The A-Team, McGyver, TNG, the 80s Mission: Impossible, DS9, X-Files, etc...

    I mean.. [SIZE=12][color=red][b]The A-Team!!!!![/b][/color][/SIZE]

    Even a good director can't make a good movie with bad material.

    Thunderbirds or not, I actually rather like Frakes directing style, i wouldn't mind seeing him do TMOS at all, However, i also wouldn't mind seeing JMS himself direct it, OR Mike "You've been" Vejar(d)
