    J. Michael Straczynski's Rising Stars Comic Series gets MGM Movie Deal

    I am posting this under Babylon 5 news because I think it is big news that is directly connected to a future B5 Feature Film.

    http://deadline.com/2016/06/rising-s...ro-1201772516/

    If this movie gets done and is successful it only makes a future Babylon 5 feature that much more of a reality. Sure wish this had happened all those years ago when this comic series was a hit, but better late than never. Fingers crossed this gets done and gets done as soon as possible. Oh what a great excuse to get those comics back out and re-read them. Then there will be the casting speculation and so on, and so on.

    UPDATE: MGM did option this property in the past, but Straczynski has said that this is a new and better deal.

    Here are a couple of JMS' quotes on his Facebook page.

    Fans of J. Michael Straczynski I'm on the film as producer, along with the others. No desire to direct it.
    Plan is, if this first one does well, to make it a trilogy of films then spin out some of the main characters into their own films, giving MGM an extended comics universe of its own.
    Oh I almost forgot. Here is a link to that Facebook page.
