BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BLOOD AND CHROME

[Methuselah]

BLOOD & CHROME is set in the years preceding the famously revamped BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series from Ron Moore and David Eick, chronicling the adventures of young William Adama (played by Edward James Olmos in the recent series - but portrayed by Luke Pasqualino here) during the Cylon War. Fans of BG may recall that the Cylon War was a significant back story component for that series. B&C has been characterized as much more of a "war" and "action" series than its progenitor/successor...an assertion apparently borne out by the pacing and content of of this trailer.

BLOOD & CHROME has been said to utilize a significantly different production model from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, employing a staggering array of virtual sets and environments as opposed to physically constructing costly locations. The results? See for yourself below...but keep in mind that much of the physicality surrounding the actors here isn't even real.

That looks pretty darn good and way more up my street than Caprica, which I didn't get into at all.

Not too sure about so much CGI, it still looks odd unless you spend Cameron time and money on it, but looks fun.

I really, really did try to like Caprica, but it just seemed kinda flat, boring, went nowhere?

Agreed - this definitely looks interesting, way more interesting.

Agreed.

Was quite the let down after BSG.

Anyone know when this is coming to SyFy or Sky 1/Atlantic?

From the looks of it they possibly haven't finished filming yet, so maybe too early to give dates?

I was under the impression it was early 2013 (can't think where I saw/heard that now though).

The main thing why it's taking so long is the expensive CGI.. it's all mostly CGI
syfy were a bit cautious and some uncertainty to commit by the sounds of it.

But the 2 hour plot is getting finished... (we will get to see that)


The shot of what looks like a wrecked Battlestar in the trailer is amazing.

CGI looks amazing! Let's hope the acting skills are upto the same standard!

I'm looking forward to seeing the pilot whenever it materializes!

No a computer, looks like NBC have pulled it and a search just comes up with fan made stuff.

Looking forward to it. The opening scene in that clip looked a bit computer game, but the rest looked decent enough.

Sorry to be the harbinger of doom by Syfy are NOT screening it.

The first episode may be aired in small section as webisodes but the series is not being aired as it is.
