"BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BLOOD AND CHROME"

Finally!!!!

 

 

 

 

Blood and Chrome trailer was shown at the BSG panel at WonderCon this weekend.

 

At the end of his talk, Grazier screened a trailer for the upcoming “Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome,” a two-hour television film which is set in the 10th year of the First Cylon War. Edited at rapid-cutting pace to Trent Reznor and Karen O’s cover of “Immigrant Song” for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” – which was actually quite fitting with images of ice-covered planets and (space)ships – the trailer ended with title cards flashing the words “It’s time for a SyFy game-changer.”Still no official word on what Blood and Chrome is (a TV film or a pilot).

Battlestar Galactica: Blood And Chrome Not Moving Ahead As A TV Show

Originally conceived as a series for the web, Blood and Chrome was given a TV pilot order and it’s the trailer for that we’ve been enjoying all day.

 

But despite the very positive reaction to this promo, Syfy have decided not to go ahead with a full series and if they make more episodes, it will be to their original plan for web videos.

 

Deadline are saying that the pilot is likely to air on TV as a movie. They also quote a new statement from Syfy’s president of original programming, Mark Stern:

 

We are actively pursuing it as was originally intended: a groundbreaking digital series that will launch to audiences beyond the scope of a television screen. The 90-minute pilot movie will air on Syfy in its entirety at a future date.

 

Times are tight and so, I guess, Stern’s belt must be too. Shame, though, because I don’t know if a web series is really going to attract the calibre of writing and directing talent the show could use.

In weird government experiment news today, we have CNET reporting that the US Navy has developed the first robotic jellyfish! Made of silicone and spring loaded steel, these mechanical beasts of burden are arguably more high-tech than the species they are modeled on. It operates through a chemical reaction of exposure to hydrogen and oxygen, which then causes artificial muscles to contract and move throughout the water. Once deformed, it's able to return to it's natural shape through use of a "shape-memory alloy."
