Well, you had your chance to be an honorary Ranger, and now five lucky fans from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco will be helping to promote the Sci-Fi Channel's upcoming original movie, "Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers."

The five winners will have their cars "wrapped" with the B5 logo as well as an ad for the movie. Bonnie Hammer, president of the Sci-Fi Channel, also stated that she would have her personal vehicle wrapped as well, in what she said is a show of solidarity with fans. Photographs of the drivers and their wrapped vehicles in front of city landmarks will be posted at the Sci-Fi Channel's official Web site, www.scifi.com.

The network also is sending Rangers T-shirts to B5 fans who are planning to attend screenings of the upcoming "Lord of the Rings" movie, which opens in the U.S. on Dec. 19.

The fans were chosen based on responses they gave to a Sci-Fi Channel message on its Web site and registering on the official Rangers Web site.

The Babylon 5 movie will premiere Jan. 19 at 9 p.m. ET on the Sci-Fi Channel. The fan campaign will kick off the week of Dec. 10, and will end soon after the telefilm's premiere on the cable channel.
