Babylon 5 has announced a new revival project - this time, in the form of an animated movie.

Original series creator J. Michael Straczynski announced the news on Twitter today, sharing that "this brand new original animated movie is already finished and in the can. So it's 100% real, happening, and coming out very soon."

Upon Warner Bros. officially unveiling the full voice cast for the film, entitled Babylon 5: The Road Home, it was revealed that several original series cast members had signed on to voice their animated counterparts. Included among those returning for their animated reprisals are Bruce Boxleitner as John Sheridan, Claudia Christian as Susan Ivanova, Peter Jurasik as Londo Mollari, Bill Mumy as Lennier, Tracy Scoggins as Elizabeth Lochley and Patricia Tallman as Lyta Alexander.

Straczynski has assured fans that the new series would be a reboot rather than a sequel or revival of the original, explaining, "To those asking why not just do a continuation, for a network series like this, it can’t be done because over half our cast are still stubbornly on the other side of the Rim."

Babylon 5: The Road Home is expected to be released this summer
