Steve,

Good to hear from you again. For the most part, I'm well. I've been taking piano lessons and can actually play something that sounds like music now.

Also working on a few side projects, a couple of which may someday interest this crowd.

All my best,


Russell

Russell, great to hear from you too.

Piano lessons. Very nice. I need to get back into my videos to teach me to play guitar and keyboard and bass....I've neglected them for far too long.

Looking forward to hearing more about your projects too. I'm still entertaining the idea of doing some kind of animated Galactica thingamabob...perhaps adapting one of my fanfics, or just staging a killer space battle.

Take care, my friend,
Steve

I would love to see those.
I think an animated venture is a great idea!

If I had a small team of animators (some to do characters, I can handle spaceships) it would be a far more ambitious project than I could accomplish alone.

I've only managed a couple of brief samples of what I would do with an animated Galactica:

Just tell everyone that the characters are invisible or they're wearing white clothes in the middle of a snowstorm.

IN DEVELOPMENT


Status: Pitch
Release Date: 2011
Project Notes: The studio is in negotiations with the creator regarding this movie.

Distributor: Universal Pictures more »

Filmmakers: Glen A. Larson - Writer (creator) more »

IN DEVELOPMENT
The status was last updated on 22 February 2009.
Since this project is categorized as being in development, the data is subject to change or could be removed completely.
All it is is that someone has taken the initial 'news' report and added it to IMDB's database.

And as we know, 2 +2 does not neccessarily add up to 4 on IMDB.

I haven't posted here in awhile and I first saw mention of this in Time magazine, and it is mentioned in the Glen Larson wikipedia entry, but this is good news to me.

Especially if a very successful motion picture inspired a new series based on the original.

I haven't read the entire thread.

If it isn't too much trouble can anyone provide me with the Readers Digest version of what we've heard so far?

No major news so far other than the original announcement. Some are skeptical, some are hopeful...almost all would love to see it happen.

I noticed that too.
I would love to see it happen.
I'm still working on that movie script.
Got some great ideas for a TOS BSG movie.

As we're sharing today I'll throw my 2 cubits in. As part of the initial flurry of excitment I started a fanfic, Galactica Saga. (Go to the library forum if you're interested in reading it.) But I didn't get started on it until the interest stirred by the movie announcement had started to cool. By the time I began posting it no one seemed interested. I've basically left it on a cliff-hanger intended as lead in to part 2, which is mostly written but you know how we writers get when no one pays attention to us.

Doubtful. It's more likely to be impressive.
