BABYLON 5: THE LOST TALES
BURBANK, CA, April 24, 2007 - Created by J. Michael Straczynski in
1993, Babylon 5 became a Sci-Fi cult fan favorite and a top rated
show. Now in 2007, Warner Home Video (WHV) and Warner Bros.
Television (WBTV) will take you to 2271 A.D. for Babylon 5: The Lost
Tales,a made-for-video movie featuring the original cast including
Bruce Boxleitner ("President John Sheridan"), Tracy Scoggins
("Captain Elizabeth Lochley") and Peter Woodward ("Galen"). Babylon

making it the first WHV made-for-video title for one of their popular
TV franchises.
Written and directed by show creator J. Michael Straczynski, this
made-for DVD movie is a spectacular vision of B5 and New York City in
the 23rd century as it uses the most innovative filmmaking
technology, which was unavailable during the original series.
On an immense space station built by the Earth Alliance, the crew of
Babylon 5 is charged with maintaining the peace among the various
alien races by providing a sanctuary where grievances and
negotiations can be worked out among duly appointed ambassadors.
Babylon 5: The Lost Tales picks up the dramatic series in 2271A.D,
ten years after John Sheridan is appointed President of the
Interstellar Alliance.
The Lost Tales follows Sheridan as he prepares for a fateful Babylon
5 reunion that could prevent Earth's impending doom. Unfortunately,
he is also forced to compromise his own principals in doing so. At
the same time, commander Lochley confronts an unexpected interloper
on the way station - a being whose presence makes the B5 freeport the
crossroads between heaven and hell.
Babylon 5 garnered countless honors including two Emmys, two Hugo
Awards, the Ray Bradbury Award from the Science Fiction Writers of
America, the Saturn Award, five English Media 'Cult TV' Awards, the
Sci-Fi Universe Reader Choice Award for Best TV Series and was the
winner of the TV Guide Poll for Best Sci-Fi Show among others. The
show also enjoyed 9 successful years in syndication, spawned five
feature length TV movies, and now a made-for-video installment.
