Babylon 5 film

I suppose everyone knows this already, but just in case...

Steven Beck will direct a big screen adaptation of the popular SF TV series Babylon 5. The movie, titled The Memory of Shadows, is intended for theatrical release and was written by series creator J. Michael Straczynski. Production Weekly reports that the project starts filming this April in the UK.

In Shadows, the technology of the ancient and extinct Shadow race is being unleashed upon the galaxy by an unknown force, and Earthforce intelligence officer Diane Baker, whose brother was recently killed in a mysterious explosion, is out to find out who is behind the intergalactic conspiracy. Joining her is Galen, a techno-mage who has been charged with keeping the technology out of the hands of those who would abuse it.

I'm not sure where this came from; a friend posted it to a mailing list I'm on.
