Babylon 5: The Movie >Date: Wed, 12 Jul 95 17:48:48 GMT Hypothetical
situation time. It's now five years since the final episode of the highly
acclaimed "cult" TV series Babylon 5 hit our screens. The
massive following this series has generated over the past 10 years has
finally culminated in the announcement, by Warner Brother executives, that
plans are afoot for a big-screen adaptation of the series. The next decade
will see the release of five feature films, which will detail the story of
the last of the Babylon stations. However, speculation is rampant over who
will star. Of course, everyone will remember the tragedy that befell the
original cast of the series when, at the final season wrap party, a
teddy-bear with the letters J.S. embroidered on it was presented to the
show's producer. Now residing at the Jackson Institute for the Mentally
Distressed, J. Michael Straczynski made this comment regarding the
intended films... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......." So, just who will star
in these forthcoming blockbusters? Early reports, from new producer Rick
Berman, suggest that we should expect the unexpected.... SINCLAIR: Leslie
Nielsen IVANOVA: Kathleen Turner GARIBALDI: Bruce Willis (cast against
type) WINTERS: Cybill Shepherd FRANKLIN: Denzel Washington DELENN: Meryll
Streep G'KAR: Robert DeNiro LONDO: Harvey Keitel KOSH: Quentin Tarantino
VIR: Marlon Brando (responsible for 2/3rds of the budget) LENNIER: Tom
Cruise KEFFER: Brad Pitt And in the second feature.... SHERIDAN: Jim
Carrey It is rumoured that Marlon Brando will play dual roles in the film.
Centauri diplomatic attache Vir Cotto, and the B5 station itself.
Exclusive to this report, here is an excerpt from the casting session.
NIELSEN: Oh no, trouble. We've got to try and escape through the
jump-gate. TURNER: What is it? NIELSEN: It's an interdimensional portal in
space which provides rapid transport to any location, but that's not
important right now. A director has not yet been selected, although
Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, Terry Gilliam and Mel Brooks have all been
linked with the project. Warner Brothers are hoping for high returns next
summer, when B5 opens against another sci-fi epic STAR TREK XV - Just So
Very Tired. :-) Rod ---
