A New Battlestar Galactica Movie!

There are those who still believe...

You can help us get your heroes back! We have a real chance of seeing the role models we grew up with gracing the big screen! Here's why:

Tom DeSanto and Glen A. Larson attended the 25 Yahren reunion of Battlestar Galactica, entitled Galacticon. During their panel discussions, Glen Larson made a stunning announcement. Mr. Larson stated that he went through great lengths to purchase the theatrical rights to Battlestar Galactica, and, depending on how much interest in the original series remains after the Ronald D. Moore mini series aired, he may pursue a creative collaboration with long time fan Tom DeSanto to produce a Continuation movie.

According to Tom DeSanto, the fate of a Continuation movie does not hinge on whether or not the Ronald D. Moore miniseries succeeds or fails. For there to be a theatrical movie based on a Continuation of the original series, there must be interest in the original series, after the Moore miniseries airs.

But if DeSanto is to collaborate on a future Battlestar Galactica movie based on a continuation of the original series, what might we expect? It may help to look at his own previous failed attempt to bring Battlestar Galactica back to life.

During Mr. DeSanto's panel discussion at Galacticon he showed previously unseen photographs of set's that had been built, actual Vipers that had been constructed. The rebirth of the Galactica's bridge in all its glory was underway and the script was set. The following is a summary of what was shown at Galacticon, taken from accounts some of the fans that attended Mr. DeSanto's panel. Many of the images you see on this website are either from DeSanto's pre-production artwork, or from Richard Hatch's Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming.

LARSON AND DESANTO AT GALACTICON '03

Mr. DeSanto showed a lot of preproduction artwork from his vision of Battlestar Galactica. In fact, he showed that Foundation Imaging did a lot of CGI work in a trailer which he played for the convention. One scene followed a trail of Cylon raiders as they attacked the Galactica. The camera followed close behind the raiders as each one was picked off by the Galactica turrets until the last one rammed right below the Galactica nameplate on the port side. There also a scene where a Viper was being chased by a raider as it flew past the Galactica. The Viper performed an emergency 180 so that it was flying backwards and then fired upon the pursuing raider. DeSanto the described a planned scene that would have had a raider ram into one of those "film can" ships, but one that was carrying water. As the wet explosion froze it would create a million shards that would destroy the squadron chasing it.
