More Farscape news?

APK | July 30, 2008 | 2:39 pm

I’m sorry I swear this place won’t become all Farscape all the time. But you know, the news is flowing so there ya go.

(via Sci-Fi Wire) Brian Henson, executive producer of the upcoming Farscape “mini-isodes” that will debut on SCI FI.COM’s SCI FI Pulse broadband network, revealed that series co-creator Rockne S. O’Bannon will collaborate with him on the scripts for the revival.

“Rockne and I are back together to work on the beginning of the next generation of Farscape,” Henson told the panel audience attending Comic-Con International in San Diego on July 27.

SCI FI has ordered 10 webisodes of Farscape, to be produced by Brian Henson and Robert Halmi Jr. and produced by The Jim Henson Co., in association with RHI Entertainment.

The series will expand the Farscape universe. Henson was tight-lipped with details. “As for the project, we’re not allowed to actually tell you anything about it,” Henson said. “What we are doing with Farscape is having a lot of fun and in the experimental media of webisodes; it takes Farscape to its next chapter. There’s very little we can say creatively, other than I’m sure there will be characters there that you all know, and I’m sure there will be characters that will be new.”

Henson said that each webisode will run between three and six minutes in length. “We are very excited about it, and, as is tradition, we are very secretive about it,” he said. “But it’s also very early. We only just decided to do this very recently, so it’s still in its creation state.” The Farscape series aired on SCI FI Channel starting in 1999. No premiere date has been set for the upcoming webisodes.

    FYI – this news link on Sci Fi Wire is a year old. (Brian Henson announced the webisodes at the 2007 Comic Con.) Rockne O’Bannon announced at the 2008 Comic Con (over video at the Boom! comics panel) that he will also be writing the Farscape comics. The comics will be canon, and tie into the webisodes.

    A) I already did a post on the comic news: http://www.hellblazer.net/2008/07/25/obannon-to-write-farscape-comic-its-cannon-he-says/ there. That’s why this is “more” News.

    B) Though the news is old, with O’Bannon confirming the comic news it pays to go back and note that he is writing the webisodes as well.
