This is shamelessly stolen from the Digital Bits
Also, Warner has released a few more details on their direct-to-DVD film Babylon 5: The Lost Tales, which is due on 7/31 (SRP $24.98). The film stars Bruce Boxleitner, Tracy Scoggins and Peter Woodward. The DVD will include the Straczynski Diaries, which the press release refers to as "a multi-part series of vignettes as filmed by J. Michael Straczynski as he documents every phase of pre-production, production and post-production for The Lost Tales. Viewers are given a first person, inside look at the creative process of making the Babylon 5 film." We'll post specs and cover art when they're available.
I am looking forward to the diaries! This is a must buy for me!

I thought "The Lost Tales" was going to be a series of dvds.

I have all the shows and movies and spin-off series. I can not wait for this new addition. I even have the paperbacks and most of the action figures, at least the ones I like. I also have a coldcast bust of G'Kar, one of my favorites.

They've added new production videos to the http://babylon5.warnerbros.com website:
That Minbari on the left sure bears a striking resemblance to Bill Mumy...
If it is Mumy reprising Lennier, there's no mention of it at imdb.com. I note, interestingly, that the actor list has been updated to include Peter Jurasik, Andreas Katsulas, and Richard Biggs - albeit via archive footage. Since Katsulas and Biggs have both passed away since B5 wapped, that's the only way we're gonna get to see G'Kar and Franklin.
And I'm glad Christopher Franke is doing the music. Evan Chen's work, while perhaps appropriate for Crusade, didn't sit well with me.

Hope it works out for more movies.
I'm a big fan of the Valen character(check me username), Jeff Sinclair, I would love a lost tale where he's training the rangers, fill in some of his absence during the 2nd year of the show.

I'm looking forward to this, as I'm a B5 fan from Day 1.
However the characters in this one are lackluster at best. Hopefully the stories surrounding them are better than the characters themselves.
Love to see some Delynn, Londo, Vir, and Bester later on. And a Vorlon or two.

Because that's the only way you would know the characters are "lackluster at best".

How about this...the acting in the trailer and green screen work looks about as bad as it can possible get. I still have high hopes for it (and I would kill to see a Bester movie before Walter gets much older) and will pick it up to support the series, but it does not look good.

Well, I've seen the 1st installment of B5: The Lost Tales. My quick thoughts on this return to the B5 universe:
Overall, I liked the return to B5, but I fear the budget limited what JMS could have done in the initial installment, but it's understandable if he were rationing the budget for the more effects-intensive stories to come.

I've seen a couple of reviews and so far they've been a bit underwelming. As a fan I'm pretty much obligated to buy it, but I hope they have a bit more confidence (and money) in the next disk (assuming there is one of course).

The first half of The Lost Tales is exceptionally dull. The second half is a bit better, but not by much.
It's obvious the limitations of cast and budget had a lot to do with it. I never felt like I was back on B5. Other than the door shapes, none of the sets (if you can actually call them that) felt like the old ones did.
The only two things that put a smile on my face was the Franklin/G'Kar reference and the thought that they're setting up a storyline for the future.

It was definitely heartbreaking to have to review this. 
I have my fingers crossed that none of the wires/forums pick it up, so people aren't discouraged from buying it. I keep seeing rave reviews posted to the newsgroup and on message boards, and while I wonder who these people are who think it's so awesome, I'm content to let their voice be heard louder than mine.

Well naturally fans are loathe to do or say anything that might discourage WB from supporting future productions. Mediocre B5 for many is better than no B5 at all.
