Galactica continuation movie Questionnaire.

[Athene]

I still think there is a chance for a movie. Glen Larson has got the movie rights to BSG.
I'm hopeful that there will be one.

[oldwardaggit]

Me to.
I remember a time when I would check the sites every day for news but I now realize I put to much faith in the suites having some smarts. Turns out they still don't have much of a clue.

Maybe someday.

And he still maintains his interest if his ComicCon 2008 appearance is any indication. It has shown he hasn't given up.

His idea would need to be tweaked as some things probably wouldn't work anymore.

Yeah, but who besides DeSanto is a great film producer and also loves classic BSG and would produce the hell out a continuation movie, but hasn't spoken up yet?

Thats the REAL question, Tom DeSanto out of 250 million Americans and out of plenty hollywood producers isn't alone or the only one out there who would do a BG continuation some needed justice and service, is he.

There are still some continuation possibilities. J.J. Abrams' approach to Star Trek is an example. Not in it being a prequel, but recasting the familiar roles with new actors and having one original actor to bridge the gap. A'la time travel.

A continuation could be done with the original cast recast, and have one original cast member go back via the Ship of Lights. The theme would probably be a 'Turn Left' approach compared to when the originals turned right so to speak.

Some probably would not have considered this approach then due to Richard Hatch's efforts. But now, the idea doesn't seem so bad.

As Spock once said 'There are always possibilities'.

I'd rather see a next generation type version than one that recasts the characters. I agree that there are plenty of others that would step up to make the continuation if if came to them. However Tom isn't waiting for it to come to him. He's doing what he can to make it happen. I'll stick with someone who is proactive any day of the week. I think Tom is the best hope not only to get this thing done, but to do it right.

Not much has changed from 2003 when we were all fired up. Tom pretty much said that until Gino was off air, it was the only game in town. I think he'll wait to make his move until after Gino is off the air.

So its, safe to say that Larson would go with DeSanto and that they've already met and discussed BSG being on the big screen besides just simply appearing at anniversary BSG cons in the past then.

Fair enough.

Still, they could at least inform the fans around the globe evey now and then via some new news. And lt us know to keep the fires going for BG, cos we all know the revival took time to "stoke" its fires and alert everyone to Galactica once again.

I completely agree. It would be nice to hear something preferably followed by some visible movement to make it happen. On a separate note, now that the sci fi channel won't be an issue I'd like to see the Colonial Fan Force back in action!

[KJ]

True.

I've miss, chatting with Commander Taggart, and his CFF was quite worthy in getting alot of things moving within BSG fandom when the time was right.

I still think its cause isn't dead yet. Instead of petitioning a Second Coming backing, it could very easily support a desanto effort. Or at least try and petition for a supposed "Battlestar Galactica" uncut (with restored and remastered deleted scenes) Remastered Special Edition on say a; HD DVD-Blu-Ray re-release of the entire series.

Can't see why not, seeing as Star Trek TOS and Red Dwarf have done so?

Yeah i'd be happy too to see CFF back, if they provided everybody with updates on all things classic BG related.

Yes. I agree let's keep those fires going!

I like the next generation idea.
Wouldn't it be awesome to see Dirk Benedict back as Starbuck?
Not to mention there are still quite a few of the actors for the original characters to lead the next generation in a BSG movie.
That would be AWESOME

Why not do both?
We can have a TOS BSG remastered DVD and a movie.
