J. Michael Straczynski (JMS) made a major announcement last night. He's the Executor of Harlan and Susan's estate. The news is that "The Last Dangerous Visions" will be completed and go out to auction in the Spring of 2021. Proceeds will go to establish and maintain the Harlan & Susan Ellison...

Hope that this is allowed as I'm not personally involved and I think it's important news. There's a Kickstarter in progress, almost two-thirds funded to scan and preserve Babylon 5's production documents and to interview as many of the cast, crew and creators as possible. The one organizing it...

I don't see a thread for this show yet and it looks like promotion is about to start heating up. It's an original series with 12 episodes this first season created and produced by J. Michael Straczynski and the Wachowski siblings (collectively "Unpronounceable Productions"). The IMDB blurb...

A lot of you may have caught the Babylon 5 reference in this past weekend's Breaking Bad episode. A lot of fans think that it's really cool to get mentions on shows like that and Big Bang Theory; probably an equal number are getting annoyed that the references are seldom complimentary. Given...

I'm luck enough to be at the big Babylon 5 20th anniversary celebration at the Phoenix Comicon this weekend. One of the many B5 related panels was a special one that JMS requested and asked all the fans to attend. He didn't say why, but said we would be helping him keep a many years promise...

Per his website, Robin Sachs has passed away suddenly. Robin played many genre roles, among them: Sarris - Galaxy Quest Ethan Rayne - Buffy, the Vampire Slayer General Valen - Star Trek: Voyager and several roles (Na'Kal, Hedronn, Na'Tok and Coplann) on Babylon 5. He was a talented actor...

Since Walter's not only known for Star Trek, I thought I'd start this in the general SF & F forum. Walter Koenig will receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Sept. 10, 2012. JMS will be a featured speaker at the ceremony and it will be live streamed...

Reported by Kathryn Leigh Scott http://networkedblogs.com/wC485 and Dark Shadows News http://darkshadowsnews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/jonathan-frid-1924-2012.html Dark Shadows was one of only three Capital-F fandoms in my life. The world is less bright this morning. Jan

I mentioned it in another thread but noticed that the word doesn't seem to have found its way over here. On his Facebook page the other night, JMS confirmed that he's optioned and written a screenplay for Harlan Ellison's '"Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman". The screenplay has been...

I know that a number of the folks here have done work on various Wikipedias so I thought this might be of interest, or rather, outrage. These folks have decided to create Babylon 5 'books' based on Wikipedia searches. And some from Star Trek searches. A few about Stargate. And so on...

Robert A. Heinlein wrote: I just had a delightful phone call. The caller thanked me for taking his call, addressed me as Ms. Lastname, thanked me for taking care of his issue and wished me a pleasant afternoon at the end. How sad that something like that sticks out as being so unusual. I...

TV Shows on DVD says that MGM is going to make the second season available as a MOD (Manufacture on Demand). Sadly, it won't be available to ship outside of the US but you can pre-order it on Amazon.com now. No word on the exact release date or cover art. Finally! Jan

What constitutes distracted driving to you? Assume normal traffic going at or near the speed limit with no congestion in sight. For me, anything that takes my eyes off the road or my hand(s) off the wheel for longer than it would take, say to push a button on the dashboard qualifies. Also...

My second favorite writer in the whole world is Spider Robinson. He wrote the Stardance trology with is wife Jeanne as well as creating the long-running Callahan's series of books. Most recently he completed a postumour collaboration with Robert A. Heinlein called "Variable Star" and he's...

I just got word from Captain Jaclyn that the TV movie book is now available for order. There's some particularly cool stuff in this one, I think. Featuring these Scripts • Thirdspace • The River of Souls • The Legend of the Rangers • The Lost Tales These TV Movie scripts are twice the...

An announcement from the Babylon 5 Scripts Team: If you've been lucky enough to see either John or JMS at a convention, you may have seen these. Check out Babylon5scripts.com/videos Jan

Sorry to bet the bearer of bad news but I just found this on Nikkin Finke's Deadline Hollywood Daily: I really liked the show and the characters a lot. As much as I supported the writer's strike, I can't help but feel that it was the long hiatus that was the main factor in the audience going...

Daily Variety reports that Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace) will be directing the "World War Z" movie. The book was written by Max Brooks and the script was written by J. Michael Straczynski. Jan

From the Hollywood Reporter: Looks like this is the project he couldn't discuss yet at a convention earlier in the year which he said was "near and dear to the heart of everyone in the room". The nice thing about his writing "Lensman" and "Forbidden Planet" is that he loves and respects...

"Jeremiah" is on the Sci-Fi Channel line-up in 4 hour blocks on Thursdays beginning on July 10. Sci-Fi isn't known for commitment so let's hope that the ratings will allow them to keep it on through both seasons. IMO, the first season is sometimes uneven, due, I think to the scripts written...
