I haven't seen this news on a thread, so I thought I'd post it.
From TV Guide at http://www.tvguide.com/news/entertainment/
"FAR OUT!: Hey, 'Scapers — this is the news you've been waiting for! The Jim Henson Company is holding a press conference Thursday to "announce an exciting new development in the campaign to continue Farscape." Among those participating in the media pow-wow: Series creator Rockne S. O'Bannon and exec producers Brian Henson and David Kemper. They better not be unveiling the 2003 Farscape Christmas ornament."

HP1 - VERY nice find! Glad it's your first post as well!
I agree with you - TVGuide is very highly regarded, so if they're posting this...
That said, I am not going to get my hopes up.
Well, maybe a little...
And it's tomorrow! Isn't Burbank starting tomorrow, or at least the Jay Leno thing? Anyway, if this IS true, the people at Burbank are gonna have one hezmana of a party!
But then so are the rest of us...
Anyone up for a Farscape marathon?

Why, Frell. Me. Dead. :thud:
I personally like how Henson apparently worded the press release:"... an exciting new development in the campaign to continue Farscape." So, let's say the rumors are true and a mini-series or movie is announced to wrap up the cliffhanger ... this wording suggests to me that we're right to expect that this is only the beginning. :D

Seriously, I doubt that Brian, David and Rockne would *all* get together sor something as simple as "we're still committed to Farscape, keep up the good work." It *has* to be good, right? Right?!?
Lordie, I'm not gonna get ANY sleep tonight ... and I'd sell my soul to be at Burbank after this announcement!!! Crap!! I have got to figure out who I can sell so I can afford a plane ticket ... maybe someone will shell out a couple hundred bucks for my brother ... or one of my co-workers ...

We're trying to find out more details and see if DocuDot can get a camera-team there :)
I think posting a little clip of Brian Henson announcing that there will be more Farscape would be one of the highlights of my life...right up there with tearing down the wall seperating East and West Berlin with my own hands (before the east military drove us away with water-cannons, but we did do some damage :D) :joy:
No guarantees of course, but if we can get in, we'll report from there :)

Sounding like a child can be the only appropriate thing in some cases ... and I second the sentiment ... man, do I totally *NOT* feel like doing any more work today!!
Does anyone have a confirmed time for this thing tomorrow? Morning? Afternoon? I should prepare myself ... I'm less likely to get funny looks if I scream and do the happy dance *outside* the office building ... :D

Ms. Hammer afta pounding 4 beers with fans @ Burbank:

Damn straight. It's only one story they caould tell this one shot. I find it hard to beleive that sets would be rebuit and money invested for a one-shot deal. This will be a step up, not a wrap-up!
It's been a wonderful, amazing year. Last year this time I didn't really know any of you. Now I can't imagine life without all of you! I am looking forward to spending the next leg of this campaign with the Farscape community. You are all the very, very best!

So what do y'all think of the Darkhorizons article?
Farscape (TV): The cancelled but highly acclaimed Sci-Fi Channel series which had its plug pulled earlier this year may be making a comeback. Last week an insider sent along this rumour: "Farscape is back in production - the series is to be wrapped up in 4-6 new episodes with the usual crew, cast and producers. The props and sets are being dusted off and are being assembled in preparation for filming in Sydney. The new mini-season will complete the story arc and bring closure". An interesting story and a solid source but still it sounded almost like wishful thinking and as there still hasn't been any official announcement about it I held off. After all, you would've thought Sci-Fi would have shouted it from the rooftops that its coming back to appease the ravenous fans of the show (incl. me). Then some people I know connected with the show started mentioning it's coming back and its confirmed that the Sydney production office is open again. I placed three separate calls to them on Tuesday to confirm/deny the rumours and all three calls were not only summarily cut off at their end but the secretary hurled nasty insults (courtesy is a dying art) - I've never had problems with these guys before so best guess would be they've been advised not to speak to press at all (which would explain the lack of coverage locally). That would also explain that when I got in contact with a US publicity rep for Sci-Fi, they said they couldn't comment on it at this time but will be releasing details when they're available soon. Something IS stirring, I guess we'll have to wait to find out what exactly.
I didn't think there were any sets to dust off :eh:

A quote from Andy Dufrane popped into my head when I read through these posts. When he got a couple of boxes to start his library he said: "Now I'll write two letters a week instead of just one."
So I say we wait for the news and celebrate if we get four episodes out of this. Then we buckle down and let 'em know we won't settle for less than a full season.

We'd all like more, and I have a feeling that we'll eventually get it. This is a HUGE step, but I feel it's just that--a step.
Ideally, we'll get 4-6 eps or a miniseries that resolves the S4 cliffhanger. With luck (and a lot more hard work and pimping by us fans ;) ) the ratings will be high. That, in turn, will hopefully show TPTB at various networks that Farscape *is* a valuable an viable commodity, and it will be picked up for syndication or another mini/short run. That will broaden the viewer base even *further* and hopefully lead to another full season somewhere.
Granted, that's a long road, and it won't be an easy one. But this first step is the most important one. We've gotton the message across that Farscape is worth saving!

Hey! New Farscape is NEW FARSCAPE!!! IT can lead to ANYTHING. It's called...a Jumping off point. I said the work wouldn't be over...but no moaning or complaining allowed. No matter WHAT may come. (Even if it is only ONE more ep...) Know why? Cause people said we wouldn't make it this far! They said we would go away in a week or two. Well....we're still here and ANYTHING is a victory AND a starting point. NOT an ending point. :D

FRELL!!!!!! There is a SECRETARY in the Sydney production office??? Count me as one of the scapers getting a headache from bouncing around the room!
4-6 wrap up episodes. That would please many, and make ME very happy....However...I want more. Always did!
Sounds like the announcement will come from Sydney..No chance of a AVI viewing for the desperate masses...You'da thunk it would be from LA. What's the frelling timetable?????? ARGH!
OOOO..a thought, just to drive the masses nuts..IF it's from Sydney, then Thursday is NOW...so..could we be getting a press conference in the new few minutes???

Ideally, we'll get 4-6 eps or a miniseries that resolves the S4 cliffhanger. With luck (and a lot more hard work and pimping by us fans ;) ) the ratings will be high. That, in turn, will hopefully show TPTB at various networks that Farscape *is* a valuable an viable commodity, and it will be picked up for syndication or another mini/short run. That will broaden the viewer base even *further* and hopefully lead to another full season somewhere.
Granted, that's a long road, and it won't be an easy one. But this first step is the most important one. We've gotton the message across that Farscape is worth saving!
Yup. I'm here for the long haul. But I just feel....instead of being upset that it's "only" six for episodes we should celebrate this for what it's worth. Which is a lot. It just seems like Henson, the crew and cast, everyone here, has worked too hard to let the absolute coolness of something like this be diluted.
No one's gonna forget about Farscape after the resolution of the current cliffhanger. I think this thread, and the amount of people online, is proof of that.

There's lead time on any advertising, so it might not be possible to get an ad in any of the LA papers by Saturday, even if we had already raised the funds to do it.

Ah....good point. Luckily, I've managed to pick up two extra part time jobs so I'll be able contribute $$$$$ for advertising. We GOTTA get up the ratings for when our show returns to us.
I AM frelling delireous at getting an end to the current cliffhanger, however, it's like dragging myself out of the desert and having my lips covered in lip baum. I want a HUGE class of lemonaide! I want my FARSCAPE!
And I wanna be in Burbank to join in the racous celabration! A thought...If Rock's in Sydney for a conference, how could he be planning on being in Burbank for the con? Wouldn't it be more logical to have the conference in LA at the Henson offices? Has anyone called the LA Henson offices?

1:45: RICHARD MANNING

If the Rock is at a press conference in Australia tomorrow (late Thursday -early Friday ~ 14 hours time difference) the poor bloke will be wasted after a 14 hour flight to be there on Saturday ...
Saturday
1:30: ROCKNE O'BANNON
"The Origins of Farscape"
Does anyone think he's going to be able to speak on that topic - alone .... :rollin:

That probably means that it was postoned...until Burbank, maybe? Those lucky few scapers going might get the treat of their lives. Where better to have a "Farscape has Returned" press conference than there, at the official convention?
Either that or some contract has yet to be signed or is still being negotiated, so they couldn't have the press conference yet. Somebody forgot to dot the i's and t's. Ah well, will they never learn? :P
Good things are a happenin', people, good things! Keep up the hope, the press conference will come eventually! And I will keep writin' letters until (and maybe even after) then.

I don't think walking in would be the problem, I don't think that part would a problem at all... :D
It could be for a million reasons. Here is what I like to think: They were planning on doing a small little announcement, maybe just via conference call, to some of the major entertainment news outlets.
Then TVGuide jumped the gun and announced the upcoming news-conference. Suddenly the entire net lights up, everybody's talking about the Buzz. Someone at CNN HLN hears about it and decides it's a good follow up story, as do others. So they call up Henson, asking about the when and where and if they can send a team.
Suddenly Henson finds themselves in the middle of this frenzy (should feel familiar by now :D) and of course now a small conference-call thingy isn't going to do, but they haven't prepared for anything big...soooooo, they postphone indefinitely, i.e. until they can set up for a live broadcast :D :D :D
OK, maybe I'm getting slightly carried away here, but it could be what happened :D
