Hyperbole, Or Something Really Cool?

From a Babylon 5 news site comes this little J Michael Straczynski nugget:

"For the last year, very much under the radar, I've been working with two film makers who have created some of the biggest SF movies in the last twenty years on a television project. (I can't reveal their identities, but pick any three of their movies and you have box office of over two billion dollars.) We've been quietly writing and creating the first three scripts for a new SF series that would pretty much revolutionize the form, and which have gone out to the networks for auction. Offers are coming in. Whether or not the offers are enough to make the project work -- it's huge -- remains to be seen. Where this goes will be determined in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned"

Yeah, OK, I'm interested... but JMS does tend to hype his own stuff just a tad.

(And Vicki and I theorized that directors of the "biggest SF movies in the last twenty years" would be: Spielberg, Lucas, Ridley Scott, James Cameron... who else?)
