Sadly, it'll never happen. The original (no effects) film is lost so any remake would need to both erase/repair the old graphics, and then put the new effects on top.
I've heard that the TNG remaster isn't recouping its expense on just DVD revenue, and B5 doesn't even have a tenth of the audience. It'll never recoup the costs.
- honestoHeminway 9y agoThe original rolls are lost?
- WorldMaker 9y agoThe implications are Warner Brothers archives lost nearly everything. B5 was ahead of its time in anticipating HD (compare the shot composition of B5 versus DS9, for example) and shot everything for HD and figured with the digital files for the CGI backed up they could easily re-animate for HD. Somehow Warner Brothers seemed to lose all the original film masters and all of the digital files for the CGI in just the two or three years for HD to actually arrive to televisions. B5 was supposed to be one of the first shows to air/re-air in HD, and that will certainly never happen now.
- mixmastamyk 9y ago> The original (no effects) film is lost so any remake would need to both erase/repair the old graphics, and then put the new effects on top. Not sure I understand this paragraph. Is the live action lost or the CGI space scenes lost, or both? Worldmaker seems to think both. > I've heard that the TNG remaster isn't recouping its expense on just DVD revenue. I'm not surprised few people are buying DVDs anymore, or Blueray (for TNG?). Been watching the TOS remasters on Netflix and enjoying them.
