    Original cast set to return

    I’d be ok if there was at least one exclusion there…

        Adam Baldwin is a major right-wing ragebaiter that was at the center of the gamergate bullshit, even being credited with coining the term itself. Since then he’s just gotten worse.

    Ah, so this is the special announcement. It’s probably easier to schedule voice recordings than full, on set live action.

    I wonder what animation style they’ll use.

      They could have filmed it Arrested Development style. “What do you mean, ask Wash? He’s at the other end of our modest ship!”

    Is it just me or are voice acting and acting two different skill sets not every actor has? Love to be wrong but I am not sure it will translate well.

      Alan Tudyk will just have to stand in for everyone else as well, he already voices every 3rd Disney character.

      And I would absolutely watch it.

      Many of the original cast are regular voice actors in games and animated series. I have zero worries in that regard. They were an extremely talented crew.

        Here I am worried the animation won’t be able to catch some of their facial expressions that really added tremendous depth to the characters.

          Oh for sure. Plenty of other things to be worried about beyond mere voices :)

      They are different but do feed into each other. When voice acting for a character, actors will be on camera, and they will be acting the part while talking into the mic. Animators will incorporate a lot of the voice actors’ mannerisms, facial expressions, and motions into their final product because it makes the animation much more life-like. Its more than just sitting blankly in front of a mic.

    I’ll take it, but what I really need right now is Nathan Fillion to ditch The Rookie asap and get back into sci-fi.

      It does seem like a strange decision. I was on board with rebooting it 15 years ago but now feels way too late
