Asteroid Alert posted:"And just to be clear, this brand new original animated movie is already finished and in the can. So it's 100% real, happening, and coming out very soon." And it is completely faithful to original series, including using only Amiga video toasters for rendering all the cgi. It took only 20 years to render it all.

Is this the same thing that was intended for Comic Con? And if so, would the fact it’s being announced now suggest it’s coming sooner rather than later?

Yeah. If it's already finished I doubt they're going to sit on it all that long.

Based off no information beyond what's in JMS's tweets I'm guessing it'll be out sometime this summer.

ultrafilter posted:The Telepath War is the one story that JMS has badly wanted to tell ever since the end of the series and hasn't had the opportunity to do. I'm thinking that's it. Doing that while Koenig is still alive would make a lot of sense, but I don’t know it’s a story that can be told in a single movie. You all realize that in some alternate reality, Crusade was a runaway hit, JMS just announced a Crusade animated movie, and somebody designed an advertisement saying “Welcome to Max” over the animated face of Max Eilerson. Although it’s plausible some sort of “Timeline Authority” was formed to specifically preclude that possibility. I liked Crusade, but I know a lot of people didn’t. Edit: And I see Variety and a number of other places have somehow taken the JMS “movie is in the can” post and translated it into “Babylon 5 Animated Movie in the works.” Edit edit: Can I just say how much I appreciate that this movie happened without making the fans Kickstarter it?

It's definitely less than ideal but how many other options are there at this point? I could see the movie being just part of it, though. Some books or comics to flesh out the story could work.

My guess for release date is on the 23rd as part of the HBO Max -> Max.com rebranding.

Fools, the babylon 5 rvival isn't cancelled, it's merely a collection of everything Zaslav personally hates. Nothing can go wrong.

A cursory glance at some of the cast's social medias (potential casting spoilers, nothing else): Boxleitner, Christian (!), Mumy, and Tallman have all posted about it. Idk about anyone else.

I hope Bester's in it. Koenig did some voice work in the last season of Picard and still sounds great.

He obviously had more Bester poo poo he wanted to get to, what with that Crusade episode with him that was never made. Lets see him off!

It never occurs to these freaks that if you have to destroy something in order to save it, maybe that thing wasn't really worth saving in the first place. The "chilling line" is a quote from Thomas Jefferson.

Can't wait for an animated B5 movie that's entirely in the style of early 90s CGI cartoons.
