Mini-Series Teaser Trailer at SciFi.com

The Battlestar Galactica mini-series teaser trailer has just been posted at the Sci-Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica web site. The teaser trailer is in QuickTime format and in two sizes: 320 x 180 (1.56 MB) and 192 x 108 (476 KB). The teaser trailer is apparently the same version that was shown during the recent 'Children of Dune' mini-series event on the Sci-Fi Channel.

Battlestar Galactica Promo on Sci-Fi Channel

New report from Phillip Lozano at the Battlestar Galactica Discussion List: "Anyone see Children of Dune last night? (The first episode was an adaptation of Frank Herbert's thin second Dune tome 'Dune Messiah,' but the next two eps adapt the third). There were two brief promos for the new BSG during the show. The first, just a momentary close-up of a Cylon visor (old footage), the familiar electronic whirring sound the bouncing red eye makes and then a logo flashed on during a bit that promoted their upcoming programs. The second was a longer one which showed an animated red eye powering up and then moving back-and-forth, with another flash of the logo, and an additional message saying 'Coming December 2003.' Is this the first promo they've run for the new show? It seems rather misleading (esp. with the use of classic footage), since they've changed everything that people liked about the old show." For the complete report, check out the following link at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums.

Direct Line to Original Costumer for Colonial Warrior Uniforms

Battlestar Galactica fan Macloud posted a new announcement at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums for a new source for classic Battlestar Galactica uniforms. "Thanks to those who replied to my original query, and I thought I'd share the very exciting results of my research. I have contacted an industry costumer who worked on the series, and who has access to all the original patterns and materials, and who's work is second to none. This means everything is EXACT, right down to the real suede shoulders on the warrior's fully lined jacket, the proper quilting length on the front, fully lined and batted, tailored to perfection. EXACT color match and detail, down to every small design element. And now the capper, he's able to make a complete uniform, custom tailored to your measurements for $700.00!! That includes jacket, tunic and pants, durably crafted to last. This is NOT fan made quality, but a top industry craftsmen who is willing to create these uniforms again. After seeing his remarkable work, I am contracting him to create the uniforms for the actors involved in our production for Galacticon 2003, and through my company, he's willing to make this offer. We're making nothing on this deal, I just wanted to share my discovery with fellow fans of the show, so anyone could have access to the real deal. Please feel free to contact me if this is of interest to you, this is the slow season in the industry, and he and his staff have the time now, I don't know what the future will hold. He has also informed me, that for the same cost as the standard warrior jacket, he can produce a BRIDGE OFFICER'S JACKET, in the correct midnight blue, with black shoulder pieces in real suede! Only one was ever made for the show for Terry Carter, and never seen. Imagine what that looks like! All detail in silver, trim and buckles. Turn around in very fast for custom work at 4 weeks from payment, for a one of a kind, custom made 100% accurate uniform. If this is something you've always wanted, don't miss this chance guys, as a film producer and long time fan of the series, I'm not exaggerating how magnificent this work is." Those interested in this uniform deal can contact Macloud at the following link at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums.
