I would like to preface this article by thanking television critics everywhere for their universally superb reviews of the Sci-fi Network’s BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series. ‘Best show on television’ is not a term thrown around lightly, but when it is, I listen. And after checking it out for myself (all 3 seasons watched in about a month) I have to concur. So thanks TV critics, for a job well done.
Now, as every BATTLESTAR fan is aware, the series’ upcoming fourth season will be its last, which isn’t a tragedy, since I’d rather see a series arrive at its natural conclusion than be dragged out a la X-FILES. But at a recent BATTLESTAR event, series producers Ronald Moore and David Eick addressed the possibility of a feature film, something that’s been on fans' minds since the get-go. David Eick told IESB.net that he indeed hopes a feature film can be made, but that it all depends on the man responsible for the original incarnation, Glen Larson, who apparently isn’t a huge fan of the show’s re-imagining (how is that possible??). Larson holds the feature film rights to the franchise, so if anything is to be greenlit, then may I suggest a steak dinner, or perhaps even hookers. Hookers always seem to do the trick.
Apparently Larson has always planned to make a feature film based on his version of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, so the road to the silver screen might be a perilous one for Eick and Moore. IESB.net has interviews with both producers and one of the show’s stars, Jaime Bamber, who express their wishes on camera to get this thing into multiplexes. You can check out the article and interviews HERE, and hope for the motherfrakking best.
Extra Tidbit:
BATTLESTAR is filmed in Vancouver, Canada.

Fuck Yea! BSG is quality television at its finest. I've never seen the original series, but if the original creator doesn't like the current show...then he's a fracking idiot. |

The original BSG is god awful 70's schlock, just like all of Larson's shows. He's just jealous that Ron Moore could do it better. |

BEST SHOW ON T.V.
is thrown around so loosely that it has lost all meaning, if it ever had any. They don't call it the idiot box for nothing. BSG didn't grab me the first or second time, but I occasionally view for the babes, (when they're not acting like ballbusting buttkickers. That stuff is getting annoying. Uh-oh, Starbuck's pissed! Oooh) |

SUPER. HERES MY FIFTY BUX!
I will help pay for the hookers. Hookers may end up doing it for free anyway, BSG is worth it. |

I grew up watching BSG back in the 80s and I enjoyed, but this stuff is far superior. The Star Trek studio monkeys should have given Ronald Moore greater freedom. Moore has reimaged science fiction as we know and has made the genre smart again. |

GREAT IDEA . . .
But I don't understand why Glen Larceny is stonewalling this idea. His version of Battlestar Galactica didn't make it past two seasons, and besides, how does he plan to get Lorne Greene back from the dead?
Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion that Richard Hatch would prefer his current role as anti-hero to his previous milquetoast incarnation of Capt. Apollo.
Yes, I recently watched the original series. It hasn't aged well. |

I am only posting because I didn't like the fact that the only comment before me was red in colour!
Like Ben above, I love the new series and I love the fact that each series has been different. Granted there were one or two fillers in each series (and the ending of the third series was nowhere near as jaw-dropping as the end of the second - which I must add is the greatest "12 months later" ever!!!).
Anything BSG is great!!! |
