MOVIES: Farscape Movie confirmed by Rockne O'Bannon at WonderCon

Apr 20, 2014

Thanks to edshrinker for sending us the following.

Paul Burrows, a very good friend of mine from back in the blog days of L O S T (we started Room 23) sat in on the showrunners panel and sais Farscape is getting a movie. Heard about the Justin Monjo script and that Brian Henson was signed on a month ago - but this is the 1st I heard from O'Bannon.

It's in very early script stages says Rockne.

"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."

  1. Look, I love Farscape. But what's the point in making a movie after The Peacekeeper Wars which concluded the story of the Farscape characters?

  2. I've never watched Farscape. As a science fiction lover I've been told that borders on heresy. I'll get around to it.

  3. The reason is the same as with the BSG movie - more ca$$$h.

  4. I'm a science fiction lover and i loved Farscape. Was it a masterpiece? no,but it was a fun ride. Your already in the mindset that it sucks so i wouldn't bother....

  5. I think he means that it is heresy for a Sci-Fi fan to have not watched Farscape ...
    Could be wrong though.

  6. I'm not sure the series needs another movie since I thought The PEacekeeper Wars concluded it all quite nicely, but....


    I'd much rather watch aFarscape movie than Sharknado 3-D or some monster movie on SyFy!

  7. Ditto! Yeah,i could have misread Aydrain's comment...


    Peacekeeper war did end nicely,Since they ended the series with John and Aeeryn having a baby the story might center on the 'next generation' type movie?

  8. Ya could be!


    May just be a one-off adventure too really. I have no idea and honestly I do not have any specific desires for the movie either. It will just be fun to see the gang again.

    That's exactly what he meant. Watching Farscape is SciFi 101. It's required work. I would add much like Deep Space Nine or Babylon 5.

  10. I love Farscape and if they want to do another movie it is fine by me!

  11. Here gang. I'm the guy who tipped SpoilerTV. This was all a rumor a month or so ago. Justin Monjo and Brian Henson have been working on it for a bit. They have a story summary already - check it out:

  12. I tipped this last night to SpoilerTV. I posted the link to the rumor below, which O'Bannon confirmed last night. A script has been written bu Justin Monjo and Brian Henson is involved (Jim Henson's Creature Shop).

    If you are new to the show or maybe would like to see what it is about in detail 1st - we have writing reviews on a re-watch. Kind of like as if it were 1st being aired. Right here:

    We are about to begin Season 3, but the reviews for the 1st two seasons are more like recaps and are already up. You can get the gist of the whole story.

  16. Thanks for posting! I've been a fan since the first episode.I knew Rockne and Jim Henson have been waiting for the right script to come along.In December i tweeted Ronkne and he answered back..

  17. Justin Monjo wrote some of my absolute favorite episodes! I am stoked!

  18. Ya! Its a shame D'Argo was killed off,I liked his character.

    ReplyDelete
  19. You definitely need to try it. I would consider Farscape a must-try for sci fi lovers too.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Amen to that. I would love for SyFy to be destination TV for me again and not just a punchline. Don't get me wrong. There are still shows I watch on it, but nothing like a decade or so ago.

    ReplyDelete
  21. OH PLEASEEEE YESSSSSS FARSCAPE AND THE STARGATES WERE SYFYS GREATEST SHOW BUT ONLY IF U DO IT JUSTICE

    ReplyDelete
  22. "We're far from production" doesn't really confirm anything. There isn't even a script yet, which means this is only a possibility, not a definite thing that will happen. Boo.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well Laura, if you remember... we never saw him (or Sikozu or Grunchlk) die. And we know Grunchlk liked to keep frozen "samples" for the Doc. It will have been 19 years - somehow I could see him him healed. It would be interesting if they did a Winter Soldier on him and made him a brainwashed villain.

  24. There is a script (look above for the link). I imagine they are touching it up still. YOu can read the story idea in that link too. And Brian Henson is already on board.
    Maybe a little wishful thinking too - but I feel like at this point it is happening.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh! Oh,oh,oh!!! I never thought about that.I must admit its been awhile since i've thought about the story,but that would be a fantastic twist!

    ReplyDelete
  26. You did misread, but it's no big deal. ;)
