There was an article posted today in Eon magazine and referenced in Sci
Fi Wire.  In it Bruce Boxleitner talks about the possibility of new B5,
telemovies or series.

It seems as if he feels both are unlikely, and that if it coould be
done movies would be best.  In some ways that's positive, as it sounds
as if he's very up for the possibility of doing television movies.
However, he says television is entering a recession and that there is
no reason for Warner's to do more B5.  Basically it sounds as if he
thinks there'd be no money to be made.

The Eon article then refers the reader to another article, which is a
summary of jms's post on scifi.com which has been printed here.

Since my knowledge of the TV business is nil, I don't really completely
understand Bruce's comments.

jms, do you have any thoughts?

Thanks,
Lisa Coulter

Bruce is a fine actor, but he really doesn't understand the business part of
making and selling TV series.  Of course there's money in it to be made, that's
why they keep making TV series of all stripes.
