new jms series announced
Jms at B5
at San Diego Comic Con (which, sadly, I can't attend due to the press of work).
It was previously announced that I was writing the pilot 2-hour opener for a
series entitled JEREMIAH. What was not known, though speculated about, was the
show going to series. We got the go ahead right around the end of the year,
though I've had to be kinda quiet about it until now.
In brief: it's an order for 20 hours (the opening 2 hour movie and 18 hours to
follow) for the Showtime Network. We start formal prep next Wednesday, and
start shooting September 4th; after finishing the movie we then go right into
shooting the series. We've hired all our crew, we're in the very last stages
of casting (with several name actors up for various roles), and we're just
about ready to rock.
This is going to be a heavily dramatic series, character-oriented, with a
measure of action and humor as well. Because this is pay cable, they've taken
off the usual broadcast TV handcuffs and told me to take it to the wall
creatively, no restrictions, so I plan to do just that.
The series will debut on Showtime in January with a huge PR campaign. I still
kinda have to wait for Showtime before I can talk specifics about others
involved (writers, directors, cast, and so on). But in my view it's a terrific
team, and it's going to be a fun show.

Well, we know Joe Dante is involved. For those who caught it, he
directed the first segment of the most recent "Night Visions".

Make that the second segment.
And Joe... Does the pilot have a title?
Jms at B5
Yes, it will eventually be syndicated, but not for about 2 years.
Joe Dante is not involved due to other commitments, but another well known
feature film director is now attached to direct the pilot movie. (Again, I
can't give specifics on crew or cast until Showtime comes out with that
first...but I can say that there is a rather impressive pedigree of people both
in front of and behind the camera).
It will air in prime-time, on the Showtime network, and we have a heck of a lot
more money to play with than on B5...it's going to be a huge show.

Right around now in our timeline, a virus wipes out everyone on the planet over
the age of puberty (figure around 12-13).
It is now about 15 years later. Those who were once children have now grown up
and are in their late 20s on down. For 15 years, they have been living on the
scraps of the old world; now they must either continue the downward slide, or
begin to rebuild the world, taking responsibility for themselves and the world
and each other.
It is, oddly enough, a post-apocalyptic series about *beginnings* rather than
endings, about hope rather then despair. It is about the new world rising out
of the ashes of the old world, what shape that world will take, and who will
get to decide that shape.
More than that would be to give too much away.

Did you ever get a look at Herman's original series of graphic novels? If
you did, what did you think of them? They were for Herman more a way of
combining two of his loves, western and SF, and I don't believe the plague
was so all-encompassing in them - they were more than a few oldsters
appearing here and there.
Great exercises in storytelling, though (one album held a fine wink to
Eisner).

There wasn't any plague... Things fell apart because of a racially
motivated civil war in the comic. I really didn't buy that the world in
the comic could have been caused by that (for starters it ignored the
rest of the world), and I'm glad jms decided to change things.

What's your policy regarding SF elements on the show? The comic played
it straight most of the time, but occasionally slipped in everything
from life force draining machines to hypnotic beasts and even grey aliens.

There is a series on channel 4 called "The Tribe" which starts out with
a not dissimilar scenario. It's basically about the teenagers trying to
survive in a world with no adults and it's shown entirely from a teen
perspective. I believe it's an Australian production.
I thought it was a great idea, but poorly executed and definitely aimed
at children with all the usual clichés (the school bully who learns that
being kind and co-operative is far better; the girl who realises that
having a baby won't solve any problems etc.).
I don't imagine your series will end up looking much like it, whatever
the superficial similarities. I'm looking forwards to it. I wonder if
Sky One will pick it up - they show a lot of Showtime-MGM stuff.

It is good to have TV that gives hope. There is too little hope in the
world today.

Dan Dassow
Joe,
I look forward in anticipation to this series when it is syndicated
two years from now. Alas, my budget does not allow me to subscribe
to cable.
It will be interesting to see a post-apocalyptic world with the
Straczynski twist of the knife: a world without reset buttons,
where actions have consequences that are sometime tragic and
frequently unexpected but totally logical in retrospect. A world
in which character development is emphasized, where characters
whisper in Joe's ear on ways to keep their character true,
where we will grow to know, love and hate a spectrum of believable
characters, where character development drives the plot not the
other way around.
I wonder whether the Showtime audience will be prepared to be
Straczynskied and whether they will know what hit them after
they have had their hearts, minds and souls ripped out and
permanently traumatized.
Just as a reminder to the future viewers of JEREMIAH on Showtime,
please indicate spoilers and leave enough spoiler spaces in your
postings for those of us who will not see the show before it is
syndicated. Please consider rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated as
your home for discussions of JEREMIAH, since Jay Denebeim and the
other moderators have done and continue to do an excellent job.
Hope the barbecued ribs were tasty

effects and storyline, it'll be interesting to see how far jms is

Sounds a bit like that 1970's British tv show 'Survivors' which I
enjoyed immensely until I felt they progressed to far too fast and
miraculously had exactly the right skills they needed.
I can see that the world would fall apart, especially after 15 years,.
So much of what we do is based on what went before that if we lost that
knowledge we'd be right back to square one on the civilisation tree.

i highly doubt this is what jms means, my expectation is more along the lines
of "realistic speech", as much as i myself dislike to swear, i also find it
annoying to watch a movie from the 50's about sailors who don't say a word
worse than "golly gee", or to hear a hardened military veteran who has died and
come back to life say "Fraggin!!", besides, ivanova's naked in C&C dream scene

I'm quite positive that he's said Vancouver, and noted it was possible

So that means that Jeremiah is going to be under Legendary Films as well,
then?
Oh, and here's where my mind does its usual wandering: If B5 was by
Babylonian Productions (except TG), and LotR is by Legendary Films, who
would Crusade have been by if it got its own production company?
Another wandering: B5 & Crusade had the same production designer & effects
people, C S2 would have had the same costume designer, and (I think) they
had the same director of photography and makeup people. Why go with all new
people for LotR? (Well, makeup might be the same, I haven't seen any credits
anywhere for him/her for LotR. But the others are different.)

If the rotating happens, then I would think so. Although, Rangers would
have a lot slimmer budget and probably not use the full Jeremiah team.

Part of the reason jms choose Crusade over better paying jobs was to
keep Babylonian Productions in business.

if you look carefully at what i wrote, i was referring to the common practice
of replacing realistic language and talk with "childsafe" words, in particular
my quoted words are roundabout referring to sheridan. and yes, there are
quite a few military people who don't swear, they were not the people i was
referring to, of course, i'd rather hear a person "stop short of swearing" than
have them use "childsafe language". by stopping short i mean all the times
sheridan says "that son of a...." and doesn't say the final word :-)
of course, what is a "Swear" word changes over time anyways.

I was referring both to "stopping short" AND to "childsafe" language. A
lot of "hardened veterans" DO use "childsafe" language. One "hardened
vet" of my acquaintance managed to put his hand through a window that
wasn't as open as he thought, and his reflexive response was a loud "Aw,
nuts!" -- leading to my observation that "a man that eloquent MUST be

No, no, no, I meant what would the name have been? BP & LF are both
derivatives of the shows they were created for, so I'm wondering what
Crusade's company would've ben called.

So because of that you're going to scrap a proven team who's work was good,
and liked by both fans & JMS? I know that hiring out the effects was
probably a good idea, although I half-expected them to use Foundation. And
if you're dealing mostly in established makeups, then a new person can
probably handle it just fine. Again, same with the costume designer - from
the little in the trailer, it seems to be mostly tailored variations of the
basic Ranger uniform. But foisting off a bunch of sets onto a new person and
having to keep them in a style similar to what went before, would be tough
on that person. All IMHO, of course.

Anyhow, regarding the Jeremiah announcement, it's nice to finally know
what you couldn't tell us. I was at Comic Con, and went over to the MGM
booth to see about some SG1 stuff. Imagine my surprise when I should see
a poster for Jeremiah. You guys should see the mock up poster they made
just to announce it. After all, they borrowed images from other shows
and films just so they could put the name of the show and that it's
created by JMS. In fact, they seemed really proud of being able to
announce that Joe was doing something for them, so that bodes well. And
I know who's eyes they used in the poster, and I'm willing to bet that
person won't be in the show. Joe, if you haven't seen it, ask Chris in
marketing to show you the poster, it's quite humorous, but maybe a bit
flattering as well. Anyhow, cool beans that the cat is now out of the

For effects, anyway, the reason would be that NDEI went under within
the last year or so. They don't still exist to re-use. I'd hope that
their raw materials will be available to the new effects house for
re-use and re-work, though.

Can you comment at all on the connection between the name Jeremiah and
the plot? (Feel free to just ignore this if you can't; I'm sure that
all will become apparent in due time, one way or another).
The plot sounds very interesting, and not a heck of a lot different
from the predicament in which we find ourselves in the real world - at
least, for someone with a sufficient grasp of the sociological
imagination to realise this and take responsibility for it.
Looks like it will be a great show.

OK. I was just curious - I'd pass on any of his relations, myself.

I *hate* symbolism. I just don't get it half the time - usually it has to
whack me over the head to understand it.
no one of consequence

run, but I'm interested in any on-line conversations about JMS's upcoming
Jeremiah. So my question is this: where will conversations about Jeremiah go
on? Here or on another newsgroup.
Sorry if this has been asked before....

I don't think jms or any of this groups regulars will go anywhere else
to discuss the show, but I'd expect it to come up in rec.arts.sf.tv and
alt.tv.stargate-sg1 too. However, somewhere down the line, some fan of
the show who doesn't know the show is on topic here, or just thinks B5
sucks, will create a new group for it. Given jms' presence here, it'll
be interesting to see where the main fanbase ends up...

I dunno what his opinion on Patricia Tallman is but I think that my
husband was more impressed that she wasn't wearing a bra...

Remeber not all of B5 is at one G - there are places onboard were she can
get away with it. Sadly B5 wasn't on HBO or Showtime then we would have
gotten to see more:)

Wow! This is great! And we get Showtime too. Very worth it - Stargate is not
bad, and this will no doubt be first class!

I'd suspect he heals post-apocalyptic wounds.
Then again, I know nothing about the biblical namesake.

Canadian content (IIRC) just refers to a law which requires a radio and
television stations to have a certain percentage of work done by Canadian
performers. It may be something different (labor law wise) that would
require them to hire a certain percentage of Canadian workers to produce
the show. In other words, Can-Con regulates what is broadcast and I have
no idea about how things are produced there. ;^)

Yes you are...

Well, it's possible (even at 1 G) to run, do Tae-Bo, etc. braless, even
with an 'ample busom'.
(But a stomach bra would be nice, such is the peril of encroaching middle
age!)

Stomach bra isn't that a corset?
