[Ongoing thread] WE HAVE BEEN HEARD!

A Babylon 5 reboot is in development at The CW!

Original series creator @straczynski is onboard to write the project. He will also executive producer under his Studio JMS banner. #TSSN Image
@straczynski "The new iteration is described as a “from-the-ground-up reboot.”

I would have preferred a continuation, but with J. Michael Straczynski (Sense8) at the helm, I'm totally confident.

Count on me to update this thread in the future, as usual.

I was still waiting for the 2016 film reboot XD

If you need artists to draw new spaceship designs, Warner, I have 172 names for you.
J. Michael Straczynski wrote a thread about this project, where he explains why it's a reboot.

"So we will not be retelling the same story in the same way (...) Better to go the way of Westworld or BSG."

He's writing the pilot right now,

More:

You can complain about The CW but it is obviously them who support this project, which therefore owes them its existence. J. Michael Straczynski speaks of great narrative latitudes.

About the reboot:

Step 1; Tiny budget.
Step 2: Proper budget!

Going back in time.

[Thread] Foundation (AppleTV +): Season 1 review (spoiler-free)

I had the opportunity to see the season ahead. Now I can't wait for the second season to be greenlighted, and I'm ready for the hoped-for 8-season cycle.

Did you like the first 2 episodes? You will like the rest.
Did you find that the first two episodes strayed too far from the books? We will have to accept that this is not Foundation, the book. This is Foundation, the TV series.

(All the pics here are from the first 2 episodes, but some wonderful -2839- shots await you in the future.)
I'm really glad I didn't reread Foundation before the series. Now, after the season, is the right time.

Because the interviews didn't lie: it's a remix drawing on the whole of Foundation (and more). If the book was a puzzle, it was broken apart to create a new shape.

Foundation (2021)

VFX sup @ChrisMacVFX :“We came up with the idea of the ship generating a black hole to
travel through time and space, with an effect of three spinning rings, and a Trumbull-esque slit scan horizon with the ship traveling through a thin sliver of space.” #TSST
@ChrisMacVFX "Trumbull-esque slit scan horizon" ==> stargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
@ChrisMacVFX And, yes.

Contact (1997)

[Thread] ISAAC ASIMOV'S #FOUNDATION (Sep 24, AppleTV +) REVIEW! (without spoilers)

Praised be the psychohistory: I enjoyed the first two-thirds of this season (I'll do an overall spoiler-free review later).

It's such a relief.

1/X
I would even say that my beloved sci-fi series of novels might join my favorite audiovisual space fiction works one day.

It is of course too early to tell. It's just the 1st season, with a whole universe to explain.

But it is possible, and I am the first to be surprised.
A quick note first for the eternal detractors of David S. Goyer (who also wrote The Dark Knight and Dark City): you are free to not watch the series, no need to repeat again and again under my tweets that you don't like him. XD

Please? <3
