Prediction of when we will get our movie
I fully support a new show. I believe it will happen. I have absolute confident in that.
But before I dress up in my armor and sharpen my sword and do battle for the revival again I have come to realize that must happen before victory is possible. We need to see Larson and/or Desanto to come out of their caves. For without them, we can't do squat. How can we make a movie happen without them? Its impossible. NOTHING can happen without them. Not unless you want to see a third galactica made with Apollo in a bra.
A successful revival movement MUST revolve around these guys. You can't move a colonial pebble without them.
Right now Larson appears to be unable to launch Galactica on his own. he seems to lack the resources. If he could I think he would be doing it already. But he doesn't have the resources YET. That will come if he can get Desanto.
Desanto, right now is very busy. He is contracted to do Transformers and Xmen3. And a legal contract means he is tied up for a few years. So to stoke the fires now would be useless for him. Cause he can't break away to do it. And we don't want the fires to peak before he can start.
Hatch btw at one time was able to get funding and could have started production, but that was curtailed by legal rights. And right now he isn't about to risk more of his own money to launch another big attempt. His efforts were noble, but he's living his own life now and leaving it to others. Though I'm sure he would reprise Apollo.
And that's about it.
So any revival will have to probably wait until Desanto finishes his current contractual agreements. Then he can team with Larson who owns the rights and bring the old Galactica back.
Just be patient folks. It will happen.
So until I see that Desanto and Larson get REALLY serious, I'm hanging up the sword, mothballing my armor, and I'm just out there to be real and to have fun. And I want to spread that joy to as many people as I can. And I'm out to make as many friends as I can who will enjoy the old show. And avoid the angry flames that tend to burn people out.

If Larson owns the rights then there's the answer. All you need is someone who can find the funding and pay Larson for the rights.
I have read that Hatch has claimed in the past that he can get the funding. If that is true he needs to talk to Larson. Since it doesn't seem on Hatch's agenda today I don't think it will happen.
If DeSanto is "busy" for the next few years I think we might as well forget about him.
It sounds to me like Larson is simply waiting to see how the Moore universe goes. If it goes well he can sell the rights for a profit to someone willing to make Moore universe movies once the series ends.
If the series tanks I think those rights will end up in a dusty file cabinet somewhere never to see the light of day again.

Antelope,
I'm glad not everyone has this "gloom and doom" mindset. I, for one, do not believe that the sun rises and sets on Ron Moore's version of Battlestar Galactica. The network that it appears on simply does not have the audience reach of a major network.
It was mentioned on another thread that we have to reach out to the folks that watch "ER" and "Friends", etc. I agree with that assessment to the extent that, for a motion picture to be successful, it's going to rely on a great deal of 'walk-up' sales, i.e., 'casual fans' going to see it. I look at tangibles like the TOS DVD sales as evidence that a fanbase exists that would enjoy seeing the "old girl" fly again.
(Apologies to the ladies in the house............just a figure of speech!)
Best wishes to Moore and Co. on the new show. I don't feel, though, that they have ALL of the cards. There are several more, left in the deck, waiting to be drawn.

Postponement is the assumption you will be alive tomorrow. Tomorrow may not make that assumption.
If BSG is to fly, someone like Richard needs to step up now. Windows of opportunity are always closed when night falls. To wait for "tomorrow' is to miss that opportunity, now and forever. If Mr. DeSanto will be unavailable for the foreseeable future, BSG should look to someone else, someone whose sun rises and sets on the dream, today.
This is a big world. There are many big people in it. I say, don't wait for the sun to rise next week.

Well ... George Lucas will soon be out of work. Maybe he'll grab the reigns on a franchise he believed ripped him off so many years ago ...

Muffit -
I'll pass on one of my favorite sayings.....
"One door closes, another one opens...."
I know that it sounds like "cracker barrel" philosophy, but this little phrase has kept me going during the times when things just never seem to work out for me. The very thing you seek may be just around the corner, but if you don't go around that corner, you will never know....
Best,
Bryan

Patience people, Patience.
We've waited this long, we can wait a little longer.
Desanto is VERY interested in this product. And he will finish his contracts in a few years. Then he will be free. He creates movies for a living. After he finishes with Transformers and Xmen3 he will be looking to do his next project. And at that time Larson will have this hot property burning a hole in his pocket. He has invested alot of money he won't get back until SOMEONE makes his movie.
Battlestar is in a good position.
Just be the kind of Fandom that makes Desanto proud to be a part of. Spread good will. Spread the love of a good show. Be a welcoming ambassador for the show to all people.
Things are going as they should. But patience is required.

A scene from the Lucas Battlestar
Baltar: Apollo, did Tigh tell you what happened to your father?
Apollo: He told me you killed my father.
Baltar; No Apollo, I am your father.
Apollo: NO!!!! It can't be!!!!
Balter: Search the Force, Apollo. You know this to be true.
Oh, sorry. Wrong movie.

I am 100% with Muffit on this one. Although I like the mini I love the universe of TOS. I really think that the sun is setting on the TOS universe. Right now is the best time to bring it back. Battlestar is once again in the public consciousness thanks to the mini. The mini universe however has not replaced TOS...YET.
Most of the TOS fan base is over 35 years old. Every year the fan base demographics will look worse to the bean counters.
If the mini is successfull it will replace TOS as what most people think "Battlestar Galactica" is. In two years no one who writes a check will fund the "old" version.
I read that Richard Hatch once claimed he had the backing of $70 million to make a Continuation. Personally I don't believe it. If he or anybody could get that much money behind them they need to talk with Larson and make the movie now!
If Larson waits a few years to exercise his rights he will either be able to sell them to the mini universe owners at a substantial profit without incurring any risk to himself or he will be worse off than he is today with no one willing to poney up the money for a three time cancelled show.
It's now or never. There's nothing us fans can do. Either those in the industry that say they believe in TOS need to do this today or we need to admit that all our hopes for the franchise are rolling with the dice at the SCIFI channel.
I love the efforts of all involved to bring the TOS universe back. I am thankful especially to all those putting their personal money into Colonial Fan Force. Only one person however needs to stand up and put his cards on the table. That man is Glen Larson. Either make it or sell it! Playing for time is a bet on the mini universe.

Antelope, my old friend, you are the master of the forked tongue.
On the one hand you applaud the efforts of CFF and call for the immediate support of a TOS BSG movie. On the other hand you say there's nothing we can do about it.
Which is it? These are mutually exclusive statements. It is either one or the other.
I got into an argument once (I'm not trying to here, honestly) with a person who was all for throwing up their hands and walking away, letting TPTB make their choices. What I said to that person was this: You are entitled to your opinion, but if you're not interested in helping the cause, get the h*** out of the way.
The idea that we can't do anything about it is mistaken, I truly believe. In order for the movie to be made Larson (and DeSanto) need the show of support from the fans - the very people who are willing to spend their hard-earned money on a TOS movie. That is Truth - and that won't happen if we take the attitude that there's nothing we can do.
I'm putting money and not an inconsiderable amount of my time into CFF because I firmly believe that the sooner we show them that support the better our chances are of seeing a TOS movie made; I agree with your assessment that the longer we are silent the more it will appear we're not interested.
So - what do you say, Antelope? Are you going to contribute to CFF or are you a throw-up-your-hands kind of guy?

My good friend Dawg:
I know you are not trying to get in an argument. We are both sincere.
Since Day 1 of my existence in the world of internet BSG I have been consistent on this issue: No matter what your opinion is on the mini I believe the franchise will live or die based on its success or failure. That may not be other people's opinion but it is mine. Time will tell.
I do applaud the efforts of the Colonial Fan Force:
That doesn't mean I think it has any impact. In a way I look at it the way you would the battle of the Alamo or the charge of the light brigade. Something very noble and to be commended but something utterly futile. It amazes me to see that people will put their families money to support any TV show be it Galactica or Angel. Even if I was inclined to contribute my wife would shoot me on the spot for considering it!
The only person we need to influence is Glen Larson. He needs to say what he honestly thinks. Does he want to make a continuation or is he holding out to sell the rights? He is the only one that can make a theatre movie. There have been many efforts to influence him already. He is "the power that be". If he wants to make the show, what is he doing to make it? It looks like he does not have the ability or desire to make the show at this time. As such the only thing I can conclude is that he is gambling on the Moore universe so he can sell them the theatrical rights at some future time.
So where am I: I hope I am wrong and the Colonial Fan Force accomplishes its goals. I wish you all good luck and commend your efforts. 
My wife buys lottery tickets every time the California lottery goes over $30 million. I think it is a waste of money but everytime she buys them I HOPE she wins!
My friend Dawg, I will not stand in your way. I am in the stands cheering. On this however I am a spectator not a player.
If someone really knows Glen Larson and I mean really knows not just a fan, they should take him out to dinner have a couple of beers or some wine and find out what he really wants to do. If Richard Hatch and him are really friends and Hatch can do what he claims in the production money committment arena why don't we already have our continuation?
A good dinner and some beer must be a lot cheaper than an ad in Variety.
I also believe as I stated that if Glen Larson is going to make a continuation he needs to do it now. The mini universe will either superceed TOS or destroy the franchise. In either case its now or never.
Unless the Colonial Fan Force can raise the money to buy the theatrical rights and then offer them for free to any producer that will create a continuation the Colonial Fan Force will support, I don't see the efforts of CFF coming to anything other than frustration.
Good luck. I hope I am wrong.

You lack one item of information, apparently.
Glen Larson wants to do a movie. He said so at Galaction in October. He also said he wants to work with Tom DeSanto (who is, himself, a TOS fan). He spent money on obtaining the movie rights.
He doesn't need to be influenced; he's already there.
But he also said (and I'm paraphrasing here) that there must be measurable support for TOS after the mini airs. Without that there will be no movie.
So Glen's ready to go. Tom's on record as wanting to do this (he actually nearly got to, once). Now's the time for the fans to show support, so that Glen and Tom can approach a studio and show them we're there and waiting.
See?
We can make a difference. And if a movie is what we want to see, we've got to say so in a way they can actually see it.

We are still in the same paradyme:
Glen Larson SAYS he wants to make a movie but is making no effort to MAKE a movie.
He says he wants to work with Desanto but Desanto is not available for the next two years.
That gives him two years to sit around doing nothing while he sees what happens with the mini universe.
Book, DVD sales, and the 4,000,000 people who watched the mini told the studios more than any effort that at most a few hundred people in the form of an ad or two will make. All that you and the other 4,000,000 already did proved the case. The three major Galactica web sites prove the case everyday.
Glen Larson, at the moment is not ready to do anything and Tom Desanto has moved on for the time being.
The only thing Larson needs is a producer or two, something Richard Hatch has said in the past he could deliver.
Glen Larson does not want to make a continuation at this time for reasons only he knows. He could do it this year or any year in the past if he wanted since he purchased the rights.
The fans have proved their desires. It's about time Glen Larson proved his or sold the rights to someone who will.
I read about a lot of people who speak a good word at conventions and then never cooperate to make things happen.
When CFF buys the ad may I suggest it read:
LARSON, Make Battlestar Galactica or sell the rights to someone who will!
Richard Hatch has said countless times he would make the movie if he owned the rights. I am not his biggest fan but I bet he would make the movie if he could.

As much as I like and support Tom Desanto to do BG, if he is tied up for the next few years
I'd like to see Larson make a movie with another "name person".
Tom Desanto doesn't have a monopoly on being a fan.

Why does everyone assume they know what's going on from sitting on their butts in their rooms far from the offices and people who DO know what's going on?
I don't mean to come down on anyone, for you are all smart. But this habit of the fandom is really stupid.

Tom -
I would have to agree with you there - I'm amazed at how everyone thinks that EVERYTHING is posted on the net. There is always someone out there in Podunk, (insert state or country) that assumes that they can sit at home a cull reliable information from the internet.
If a film studio does make an announcement, it is usually in a roundabout way, unless they are purposely trying to garner support for a project and generate "buzz" to sell tickets when it does come out. I wasn't around online BSG fandom in those days, but I've gotten the impression that info was hard to come by regarding a new BSG production until the RDM version was announced.
Understandably, Skiffy & RDM wanted to gauge interest and build support for their project - hence there was a boatload of information to be found.
From what I've seen of the past year and a half of online BSG fandom and some of the backlash that could come from releasing info in advance - I would bet that Glen Larson or Tom DeSanto probably wouldn't make many detailed announcments until the project was almost released. That way, folks would almost have to go see it to find out what it was about, instead of making up their minds ahead of time to go, or not to go.
It's just idle curiosity, but I keep wondering what the ratings for the miniseries would have been if they had kept the project under wraps right up until it aired - My bet would be that the "curiosity factor" would have gotten them a bigger rating. I think that's why info on nuGalactica is so tight only a month prior to the UK airing date.
Who knows?
Best,
Bryan

It usually takes a few years of pre-production work before you can START production. Tom Cruise said he spent a YEAR in japan learning avout its culture before he began work on his Samurai film. So I don't think this is taking too long.
Who wants a piece of crap rushed production after waiting for 25?
Also there are always many hurdles which we can't see that need to be overcome before this thing gets busy.
I say 2007 it starts.

Oh, yes he can.... Don's real good about keeping things quiet! He only says just so much and then clams up. That's the best you'll get out of him.....
