Babylon 5/Recap/Film/Babylon 5: The Lost Tales: Difference between revisions

The station prepares to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of [[The Alliance|The Intestellar Alliance]], but [[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]] being [[Weirdness Magnet|what it is]], things are certain not to go smoothly. Colonel Lochley finds herself seeking the assistance of a priest in order to deal with a demonic possession, and President Sheridan receives an unexpected guest forecasting the destruction of the Earth Alliance in the future if Sheridan doesn't [[For Want of a Nail|take the life of an innocent Centauri prince.]]

This was an [[Anthology Film]], meant to be the first part of a series of short films, each [[Day in The Limelight|following a specific character]] and each release having a common theme for the stories to follow. Though ''Voices In The Dark'' was commercially successful, production of the second part (with Garibaldi and possibly Londo) fell through due to the 2007 [[Writers Strike|Writers Guild of America Strike]] and ended up being shelved by [[J. Michael Straczynski (Creator)|J Michael Straczynski]] due to concerns that the studio would not budget enough money for him to do the ''Babylon 5'' universe justice.

* [[Technology Marches On]]: A side effect of the original series concluding in 1998, and ''The Lost Tales'' being released in 2007, between which the state of the art of computer-generated graphics had moved on ''considerably''. The production company (who also worked on the ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' reboot) presented a low-resolution draft rendering of the CGI models for the film to let him get an idea how things were coming along, and they were at least equal in quality to the best end-product CGI from the original show.
