Farscape: DVD News & Comic-Con Appearances

Bruce Simmons — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 03:07:31 +0000

If you’re a connoisseur of Farscape, you have a few good things to look forward to. Especially if you’re attending San Diego Comic-Con 2009.

Comic-Con

Ben Browder and Claudia Black, creator Rockne O’Bannon and executive producer Brian Henson are going to be appearing at Comic-Con in a panel on July 24th at 10:15 a.m. in Room 6BCEF at San Diego Comic-Con.

But this might not be the only panel with Farscape in it.

Rumors have it that there may very well be another panel involving the comic book (which began publication last year) based on Farscape. No details as of yet as to when or where, but that can be cool.

Webisodes From Syfy?

At the moment, Syfy (soon to be formerly Sci-Fi) is reportedly committed to creating a series of webisodes for Farscape. They aren’t near the stage of creating scripts yet, but plans are in development.

I’m not sure what that means. Are they talking about it? It would be nice to see new stuff come out. that’s for sure.

Farscape 10th Anniversay DVD Release

Celebrating it’s 10th anniversary, you can find yourself the proud owner of a boxed DVD set of all four seasons. I did not mistype. All four seasons of Claudia Black… I mean of Farscape.

A&E Home Entertainment and the Jim Henson Company are partnering to re-launch the DVD franchise in one big package.

The DVD set will have

All four seasons of Farscape
Hours of bonus programming
Multiple commentaries
Interviews with cast and crew
Behind-the-scenes featurettes

And much more.

If you don’t need all four seasons, each season will also be available individually.

The DVD release is slated for November 2009.

The Television Presence At San Diego Comic-Con 2009

Bruce Simmons — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:38:32 +0000

UpDated 7-2-09

Last year at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, the event was ruled by several big named movies that ranged from youthful vampires to illegal vigilantes. TV was more a side-note than anything else.

This year at the 2009 Comic-Con, things will be a bit different as television programming seems to have a bigger presence than last year.

For instance, the Warner Brothers Television Group will have 11 different panels for their shows. That’s a studio best for them. ABC Studios will have 7 panels. 20th Century Fox will have 9 panels.

Do you think your favorite television show will be represented?

This year, I’m ready… I hope. So in preparation, I’ve started sifting through the network press releases and other resources, pulling it all together for myself. I decided… OK, maybe I was nudged a bit by Vic, to actually put it all prep info together here, for you, our loyal readers.

I’m done chatting. Let’s take a look at what television panels are lined up for the 2009 San Diego Comic Con.

Wednesday Evening, July 22nd:

6-9 p.m.:
Warner Brothers Television will be airing pilot previews this evening for the early-arriving crowd.

Sci Fi Bringing Back Farscape?

Bruce Simmons — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:03:41 +0000

It looks like Sci Fi channel is reviving the show Farscape, but is doing this as a Web based platform, bringing it to the viewers in a series of short films that we can use to kill our bandwidth from Scifi.com’s Sci Fi Pulse.

This effort is going to be a part of new original, online programming as Sci Fi has ordered 10 ‘webisodes’ of Farscape.

On what I consider to be more of a warning than an announcement, the web series will be expanding on the Farscape Universe (I’m guessing we may not see any of the original characters) and there have been no announcements on cast or dates.

So if you were getting wound up thinking you’ll be seeing the old gang from Farscape, I say we just hang on to our hats and see what develops.
