Can anyone confirm or deny if a Jayce and the wheeled warriors movie was ever scripted by J. Michael Straczynski according wikipedia

I forgot to ask if its true will there be any scripts provided based on the movie

Hi, Jaycefanz, welcome.

I don't see any posts of JMS's where he talks about having written a movie, only episodes. I'd say the best thing to do would be to post your question to the moderated newsgroup where he sometimes still hangs out. You can find more info on that here.

I found this message from jms on a Jayce fan-site awhile back that said he did write a script for a movie, but it never got made. This email was written in 1993. Don't know of any plans to release the script.

jms 6/19/1993:

As to an end to the story...yes, there was one. After the series was over, the head of the studio tried to sell the sponsor on the idea of an animated "Jayce" feature. I was commissioned to write it, and I think it actually came out very well...and very, very intense. Saw Boss was finally destroyed in hand-to-hand combat, Jayce comes through some truly life-changing events, we go back to the world that spawned Oon and Gillian for Jayce's training, he falls in love, someone dies...it was a heck of a story. They couldn't get it made, though, so that was the end of it, though somewhere or other I still have the script.
