Galactica Producers Talk Film Version


From darkhorizons, "In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, "Battlestar Galactica" producers Ron Moore and David Eick confirmed they are developing and will be making a DVD/TV premiere film version of the show.

The film, which will feature all the same cast and crew, will bridge the gap between the TV show's third and fourth seasons but will NOT resolve the cliffhanger left at the end of season three.

Moore and Eick say that cliffhanger "will take the show in a new and shocking direction". Moore and Eick also say they will go forward with the film unless the show does not come back for a fourth season. If that is the case then the film is off as well."

From AICN, "Even as that nasty (and as yet wholly unsubstanciated) rumor - that “Battlestar Galactica” will not receive a fourth season – festers in our imaginations, we just got a hint of what the proposed “Galactica” made-for-DVD movie could be about.

"It's going to be 'Pearl Harbor,' and we'll see the return of the Pegasus. The story takes place during the time after the Cylon attack as seen in the mini-series."

This comes from a source that's a known quantity. Still, take it as rumor for now, and remember that no movie gets made unless the series gets its fourth season.

So that frakking "no season four" rumor just better be frakking wrong.

Gah! I'm behind with Galactica! Jordan's recent binge has thrown this into sharp relief.

I'm behind!

I'm behind!

(Of course, it's not "whatever shall I do" because I've already got season 2.5 on my Netflix queue, but you know...drama.)
