Yes, at his appearance this past weekend at the Orange County Screenwriters Association. I haven't had a chance to transcribe it exactly yet but the gist of it was:
- JMS had told WB that he would only do a big budget feature film (we knew that)
- WB asked him how big a budget he was talking (we also knew that)
- JMS told them $100 million dollars and WB said they'd get back to him (this is where we left off)
- After 'Changeling' made the rounds and JMS was/is in much demand, WB came back and said for JMS to let them know when he wanted to have the conversation about doing the film.
- JMS isn't ready to have that conversation yet but he does have an idea for a script.
- It's occurred to him that the 20th anniversary of B5 airing is in 2013 which means that it'd have to shoot in 2012 and be written in 2011.
That's pretty much it. No indication of who would appear in it or what direction the story would take and there aren't any contracts signed at this point.
