Re:Good News, and Very, Very Bad News
I hate to say it, but I think they’re both right.
Putting my B5 fanboi’ism aside, how on earth can B5 bring in a “movie-sized” audience? When was the last time any of these actors were in a movie production? Sure the DVD will sell great, but it really looks like this movie might pull in 5 million at the box office, at best with the current cast.
I really dont understand why this wasn’t a made for TV movie, then sold on DVD ala Farscape IF they wanted the original series cast.
A compromise would’ve been to go the “Star Trek” route. Allow the original cast to retain their roles, but give larger roles to the big time stars (Khan, Malcom McDowell, Christopher Lloyd, etc…)
I’m really scratching my head over this one. Both sides seem awfully stuborn.
