JMS hat sich in der Newsgroup (rastb5m) jetzt selbst zu Wort gemeldet:

To the other questions that have arisen: we're looking at 3 half-hour
episodes/stories for the first DVD, with additional features and the
like in the other half hour. Each story will be worked around a given
established character, the specifics of which are still TBD contingent
upon availabilities and other issues.

We have a budget, we're greenlit, we're going.

As for what prompted the interest now at WB...it's only recently that
they've finally run through all 5 seasons, which for many years now has
been a constant source of revenue, and I think they would love to have
something to continue to with. The recent news re: Changeling probably
didn't hurt, but the deal was actually being negotiated long before
there *was* a feature film deal with Imagine. As I recall, we
finalized the deal right around the time that the Imagine news was
announced.

It was a rather extraordinary 24 hours.

I held off saying anything until I was cleared by WB to announce it as
a go project. Ultimately, whether we shoot in Vancouver or elsewhere
will be a function of the deal that gets made locally.

Die zwei wichtigsten Infos daraus sind wohl:
- Geplannt ist, dass eine Episode eine halbe Stunde dauert. Auf der ersten DVD werden drei Stories sein plus Bonus-Material. Wie ich befürchtet hatte, doch recht kurz.
- Das Projekt ist wohl schon recht weit fortgeschritten, hat grünes Licht von WB und läuft. Budget steht auch schon. Die Chancen stehen also sehr gut, dass es diesesmal keine Enttäuschung wie beim letzten Mal geben wird.
