Battlestar Galactica Sci Fi Series

Back in July/August we chatted about the new Battlestar Galactica web series titled Blood & Chrome.   Back then we mentioned it will be green-screened, and that all in all, the episodes will add up to the equivalent a two-hour pilot.  We also mentioned that if the web series does well enough, that it could lead to a TV series.

The Syfy Channel has made the leap and made the official announcement about Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome.  Except, rather than direct to web, it’s headed to a 2-hour TV pilot!  Nice.

Syfy is working on a web based series called “Blood & Chrome” which is a spinoff from “Battlestar Galactica.”  “Blood & Chrome” will be following the adventures of a youngWilliam “Husker” Adama during the first Cylon war.

Michael Taylor is writing the script and the web series willconsist of up to 10 episodes that will be around 10 minutes each.

Doesn’t sound like much… in fact, it sounds like a single movie pilot!  The interesting trick to the show is that it will be moredigital and green screen, like “Sanctuary” but if you’re worried about sets, don’t. They made high-tech scans of the sets before they dismantled and auctioned them off.
