  • Farscape movie is officially happening

    Back in February we brought you news that a Farscape movie was supposedly in the works. Now Rockne O'Bannon, creator and showrunner of the original series, has confirmed that the movie is, in fact, happening.

    Confirmation comes by way of TV.com:
    Just a little bit of, maybe interesting, information to report. ;-p Texting me from WonderCon, a very good friend of mine (@PaulBurrows) just left the Showrunners Panel at [WonderCon]. A panel member, non other than Rockne O'Bannon, the co-creator ofWarehouse 13, Defiance, and Revolution... who was also Farscape's creator and showrunner - has indeed CONFIRMED a Farscape movie is happening.


    SpoilerTV followed up with a quote from O'Bannon establishing Justin Monjo's involvement:
    "Yeah, yeah it's the worst kept secret…We're far from production, but yeah, the first step is Justin [Monjo] working on a script for us. We'll keep our fingers crossed."


    That's slightly different from what we heard back in February when the rumor was that Monjo had already written a script for the spinoff. Who knows what the actual status of that script is?

    Here again is the summary of the reboot's reported plot, via Tor.com:
    Set to follow the awesome comics written by our favorite Keith R.A. DeCandido, the film would follow John and Aeryn's son, D'Argo (or Little D, as we will always refer to him). Because their baby was exhibiting a set of interesting powers that made him a magnet for galactic villains, we find that John and Aeryn hide their son on Earth to grow up. Now the kid is 19 and ready to go into space with his parents.

    I remember watching this whole series on Netflix but it got boring and repetitive towards the end.

      Well, so far, you and a bot.

      ACK!
      Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

              Guy, where can I buy some cheap prescription drugs online without a prescription? You're a bot, you have that information, right?

                  Good news... I remember the last "special" and more had been promised.

                  A movie would work for me.

                      The entire last season seemed like a segment was missing from the beginning of each episode, and the reunion movie killed off way too many characters.

                      It was still good enough that you watched to the end. MUCH better than the last season of La Femme Nikita, for example.

                      I'm a cynical fan who has been burned too many times. I'm not going to harden my heart against a Farscape revival, but I refuse to get my hopes up much -- you just know the Crighton/Sun kid is gonna start out in Australia and take forever to leave...

                          I would be more optimistic if it was in production. You can't say officially happening until it's happening.
                          Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi Wan's apprentice.

                            Was this the one with Kevin Sorbo? That was pretty bad.
