You
say that this is a limited edition series. What do you mean by that?
This compilation or a compilation of any of these scripts will never
be available again. That said, please note that it is likely that these
scripts and their related material will be re-released individually
at some point, but they will never again be available packaged together
as in this series.
If the J. Michael Straczynski 14-volume series averaged 7 scripts
per volume, how come there average of 6 scripts per book in this series?
The short answer is page count. If we go over 450 pages per book, we
risk binding issues. Including 7 scripts per book would put us way over,
since each these scripts run an average of 6 pages longer than the JMS
scripts because they are mostly earlier drafts intended to be edited
down. Also of note is that each script has its own commentary by the
writer in addition to the Script/DVD Variations inventory (similar to
the Joe Cuts from Volume 15), which also added to our page count. The
bottom line is that these books are roughly the same amount of content,
even though they are 6 scripts each.
Will
you be releasing ALL the other writers’ scripts?
Yes. These 3 volumes include all 18 of the other writers’ scripts
which means that this series combined with J. Michael Straczynski's
14 volume series collectively contain all 110 Babylon 5 scripts.
Will
this "Other Voices" series contain any behind the scenes photos,
outlines or other extras the way that the JMS books did?
These books will have as many extras as are available. For example,
in Volume 1 we have an outline for a never-produced episode of Babylon
5 as well as 4 photos taken during the filming of "Grail."
A future volume will also include Larry DiTillio's 13,000 word bible
that documents all the League alien races in Babylon 5, giving full
details on their customs, culture, mating rituals and physiology.
Do
I need to have purchased all 14 volumes of the J. Michael Straczynski
series to have access to these?
No. These are a totally separate entity. You can have bought any or
none of the JMS volumes and still be able to get these.
When
will these volumes be released?
These volumes will be released once a month, for three months, starting
May 15, 2008. Volume 2 will be released on or around June 15, 2008 and
Volume 3 on or around July 15, 2008. NOTE: The entire series will be
discontinued after September 30, 2008 and these volumes will no longer
be available for purchase.
The
J. Michael Straczynski series began publishing monthly and, late in
the series, had to move to an intermittent timeline due to scheduling
conflicts. How definite is the above schedule?
Definite. We were able to get a jump start on production for these volumes.
Is
J. Michael Straczynski publishing these Other Voices volumes?
No. Publishing 180, the company that works for J. Michael Straczynski,
is publishing these scripts. And, with generous permission from J. Michael
Straczynski, these volumes will have a similar look and feel to his
14-volume series, even though he owns the copyright to that design.
