Next years Traveller anniversary special will be a limited edition direct-to-DVD production reminiscent of the animated webcast currently floating around the net.

The film itself will be a video-book adaptation of the popular Traveller short story, The Mission written by Traveller star/creator, Andrew Merkelbach.

Just over 30 specially produced "still" artwork images will illustrate the story.

The provisional release date for the film is May 2006.

In other news, the proposed Frontier of Warriors audio series has sadly been shelved, but UK production house, The Zeropolis Element are said to be in talks about a potential video-book, inspired by what we're doing with The Mission.

Andrew Merkelbach is expected to appear in the film, in a cameo role.
