Babylon 5: Lost Tales July 31st

The wait is over for Babylon 5 fans - the long-awaited B5 movie will hit shelves July 31, and fans are eager to get their copy of Babylon 5: The Lost Tales - Voices in the Dark. Series star Bruce Boxleitner reprised his role of Sheridan in the film, which he first heard about from a fan in London. While he at first dismissed the teasing rumors of a B5 movie, when he got a call from producer Doug Netter he knew the rumors were true at last.
Boxleitner admitted he was angry when the show ended,... and sci-fi television hasn't been the same for him since. "People may yell at me for saying that, but we were definitely influential, and there really isn't anything set in outer space anymore," Boxleitner said. "The last of the Star Treks went off air, and it looks like this season of ['Battlestar Galactica'] will be the last. Maybe we'll fill that gap a little bit. A television series becomes a family, and we were a really tight-knit group. We've lost three people, including two of our prominent cast members [Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar), who died in 2006, and Richard Biggs (Dr. Stephen Franklin), who died in 2004], but I think we've handled that very well, with a mention of both those characters in 'The Lost Tales.'”
The film was shot in Vancouver, using a green-screen stage and a small crew. But, some things did stay the same - Boxleitner was able to use his old wardrobe in the film. Other returning characters include Col. Lochley (Tracy Scoggins) and Galen (Peter Woodward). If the DVD performs well, series creator J. Michael Straczynski plans to make more films based on the series. The next could be released as early as next year, and rumored storylines include a Garibaldi-focused film or the Telepath War. SO BUY THIS DVD!
