Here's the late breaking news:

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski is working on a two-hour telefilm called Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers that will premiere on SCI FI later this year. The film will take up the story of the legendary Ranger fleet as it attempts to restore order to hundreds of civilizations devastated by the Shadow War.

This new chapter of the Babylon 5 story finds the mysterious Ranger force--a combination of humans and alien Minbari trained in space warfare as well as the unique alien philosophy of the Rangers and just about every conceivable form of martial arts--faced with deadly challenges in its attempt to create peace out of the war's destruction.

Babylon 5 cast members may appear in the movie, which will also serve as the pilot for a potential SCI FI Channel series. Douglas Netter is executive producing the series along with Straczynski.

Check that out here too: [url="http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2001-03/20/15.20.sfc"]http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2001-03/20/15.20.sfc[/url]

This is good news for all B5 fans, but also to us because that means we may be adding new cannon ships or technologies to our list!

Sweet!

Well... isn't this nice!

A new movie and a new serie.

If we would get the original Crusade series also coming then I would be in heaven but this is enough... and the Babylon 5 : Into the Fire game. That would be sweet...

Apothess: Sci-Fi is US. It'll probably be distributed through networks however so those of us in Canada (hopefully SPACE will pick it up) and Europe, Australia, and anyone else I forgot can see it.
