<p>
|
|
Yeah, it's real...I was holding off saying anything until WB or someone else
|
|
could announce it, but since it's come up here via the captioning
|
|
institute...yeah, as noted, it's real.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Season One will be out in a boxed set this Fall, and they're going to be
|
|
including at minimum two commentaries from me, probably on Signs and Portents
|
|
and Chrysalis (it's a matter of how much time and energy I can give to it given
|
|
that there's no fees involved and I'm in the midst of Jeremiah), and if
|
|
possible, Babylon Squared, maybe Sky Full of Stars. They'd also like to film
|
|
an on-camera intro by me (but I guess folks will buy it anyway, even with that
|
|
particular horror included).
|
|
<p>
|
|
They're pulling together a lot of stuff on this release so that there are
|
|
plenty of extras this time around, now that the value of the DVDs has been
|
|
shown by the first release.

JMS posted the following to rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated on June 25, 2002:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
On the DVDs, last I heard they'll be out around mid-November, with the whole
|
|
first season at about a hundred bucks. I did the commentaries on Signs and
|
|
Portents and Chrysalis, and an on-camera intro and interview. They've also
|
|
done new interviews with Rick Biggs, Claudia, John Iacovelli, John Copeland,
|
|
Stephen Furst, Jerry Doyle and others. So it should be a pretty big deal
|
|
overall, much better than the movie dvd.

|

And shortly thereafter:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
One error. Apparently Claudia had agreed to do the interview, then canceled at
|
|
the last minute.

<em>Why no Michael O'Hare in the DVD extras?</em> (July 5, 2002)
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
WB was frantic to find Michael. They had no direct contact information for
|
|
him. They went through SAG which said they didn't have a current listing for
|
|
either Michael or his agent. They asked me for help, and I gave them a number
|
|
which I had a while ago but didn't work. So next we tried Sandy Bruckner, who
|
|
had another number for him, which I gave to WB, and they said they left
|
|
messages at that number but never heard a reply. This was all at very short
|
|
notice, and there was only a week to try and track him down. B5-DVD maven
|
|
Scott Devine at WB can directly confirm that they were looking for him
|
|
everywhere, but the clock finally ran out.

More from JMS on August 13, 2002:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
The disk has an on-camera introduction by me (despite my warnings that
|
|
this would undoubtedly drive down sales), a letter of introduction each
|
|
by me and Doug Netter, and the half-hour piece features new interviews
|
|
with Rick Biggs, Stephen Furst, me, Doug, efx maven Mitch Suskin, makeup
|
|
whiz John Vulich, and others.
|
|
<p>
|
|
They're tentatively targeting next April for season 2, and the following
|
|
November for season 3.
