Well, all of last week I was in Vancouver for the first week of
shooting on the two-hour TV movie BABYLON 5: LEGEND OF THE RANGERS.
(I'm back now for a while.) It's been a terrific experience to date.
The dailies look great. Mike Vejar is on board to direct, and is
keeping the look and feel consistent with what we've done before, but
at the same time (in collaboration with our new Director of
Photography Henry Chan) is taking the look even a step further. The
sets (courtesy of production designer Steve Gaeghan and his band of
artistic types) look more detailed, more textured, more realistic than
much of what we've done before on B5. (This is in no way to diminish
what we did in B5 on sets, it's just a different
approach.)
Andreas Katsulas showed up mid-week as G'Kar, and despite having been
away from that makeup for three years, was instantly back in
character starting with the first shot and straight on through.
The cast have proven themselves excellent. It's natural to take some
time to find your character, and find the lines...but from the moment
they landed on set, they had their lines letter perfect, and the
chemistry is there between them. SFC has seen the dailies and they're
absolutely enchanted with what's on film.
I wish I had colorful stories to tell, but we're talking here about a
bunch of dedicated
professionals who appreciate the legacy of B5 and are doing
everything they can to make this next installment the best possible.
(About the only negative thing to happen all week was my losing my
California state ID midweek, which I'll have to go in to replace this
week at my local DMV.) It's a very elaborate production, with
everything from pyros to wire works and other stuff, in addition to
the usual glut of CGI we tend to do, but so far it's all going quite
well.
I've been taking digital pictures of the production which will soon
be available on the SFC website...and there are some beauts there.
I'll let you know when they're up.
In the interim...know that the show is going extremely well, and I
think that people are going to like the cast a lot. They're good,
well-trained, dedicated people.
I think it's going to go over very well indeed.

A little on the cast:
Just off the top of my head and in no real order... Dylan Neal is
playing David Martel, our lead character, a Ranger who's come through
some especially rough times; Alex Zahara is Dulann, a Minbari, his
second; Myriam Sirois is Sarah Cantrell of Mars Dome One, weapons
specialist; Enid Raye Adams is Firell, Minbari, a healer; Warren
Takeuchi as Kitaro Sasaki of Earth, communication and translations;
Dean Marshall as Malcolm Bridges, covert intelligence and
infiltration; David Storch as Tafeek, Minbari, a political and first
contact guy; and a Narn, Na'Feel (played by Jennie Hogan) and a
Drazi, Tirk (played by Gus Lynch), both recent
recruits/ members of the Rangers.
Probably about 3-6 months.

Especially David. First it's Jefferey David Sinclair. Then Sheridan's dad, and his son. And now this guy David Martel. Dulann..Delenn. And I recall a Tannier, which sounds like Lennier. Malcolm also being used more on TV these days.
Enough rant though. And yes I relize David is a common name, it just seems a bit too common in B5. But dispite my pointless minor gripes I am looking forward to this movie.
