Lost Tale News

croxis · 12:39 AM

Every year at orycon for the past eight years Gareth Von Kallenbach (http://www.sknr.net and http://www.rottentomatoes.com/author-3139 ) has a two hour panel on upcoming movies and television. This is the segment of this session that relates to Babylon 5. I will post his other bits later tonight.

I have news of the future of Lost Tales. WB had set two expectations, number of sales for the two stories to make money and a pie in the sky expectation that they would like to see. Sales have far exceeded both of these expectations. The next two stories are a go and JMS will have a slightly larger budget to work with. This will be needed as we will be seeing Garibaldi and Londo, and their story is more CGI heavy. And, down the road, don't be surprised if we see what happens with Lennier...

Awesome !

Excellent.

The fact that two of my favorite characters weren't involved was one of the biggest disappointments with the first release.

Maybe more money for f/x too cool ...longer then 6 seconds.

Sanfam · 18 November 2007, 12:57 AM Link to this post #5

We got to see a warlock explode. I was more than satisfied.

All I hope that it wont be as boring as the first lost tale...

Falcon1 · 19 November 2007, 09:11 AM Link to this post #8

Anything with Londo in it won't be boring

Hehe, just to hear Peter Jurasik say the word "Vir" in that certain way will make it worth it. You know, almost starting with a "F" sound, rolling into an "I" that sounds as if the corners of his mouth are pulled too far back and completing with a stacato "R" finished with a tap of the tongue...

Sanfam: I was rather hoping personally to see the Warlock kicking serious ass, not getting its ass handed to it

Sanfam · 24 November 2007, 01:01 AM Link to this post #14

We know what the warlock is capable of, so that made it a bit more interesting to me

Falcon1 · 25 November 2007, 05:45 AM Link to this post #15

Yes we need to see a Warlock going toe to toe with another big ship and winning, in style. The Centauri attack was rather one sided imo, even a Warlock can't hold off 3 Vorchans, their rapid fire cannons are so deadly.

	__________________ Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
