Ronald D. Moore Confirms There is a Interest in Continuing the Battlestar Galactica Franchise for SyFy

Features

By GustavoLeao / 12:50, 17 March 2010 / General Genre/SciFi

At last night at Syfy's Upfront presentation, UGO had a chance to talk to Battlestar Galactica and Caprica producer Ronald D. Moore and here is an excerpt of their article :

We talked a bit about Avatar (he liked it but was happy to see The Hurt Locker win the Oscar), Abrams' Trek (Ron thinks Chris Pine makes a "badass" Kirk) and Star Wars (he and his son watch one of the films each year on his birthday This year? The Phantom Menace.  "What a horrible b-day" I said.  Turns out Ron's hatred of the Ewoks is only paralled by my distaste for Gungins.)


And of course, I inquired about the second Battlestar spin-off we've been hearing about.  Ron told me that there's definite interest in continuing the franchise for Syfy, the question is in what form.  It won't necessarily be a TV show or webseries according to Ron.

The full article is here

I rather they picked up VIRTUALITY as a series from RDM. The two hour movie pilot was far better than I had expected.

Or I wish Syfy would pick up THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES.

The show has already been renewned for fourth and fifth series/season.

People were always complaining that Trek was doing 'too many shows'... And yet there are other franchises now doing the same thing.

--------

"I would be happy for Star Trek to come along decades later with a new group of minds. I'd love someone to say, 'Besides this one, Gene Roddenberry's was nothing!'" - Gene Roddenberry



"...I think it would be wonderful years from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest, as they say tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations..." - Gene Roddenberry

What if not all the other battlestars were destroyed? As the Cylons moved off after Galactica there could have been a rebellion fighting against Cylons in and around the other Colonies...that story might be worth telling . . .

You could include the cylon models from BSG as well as Kara maybe to have some cross-over if you wanted . . .

Mini-series, TV Movies or direct-to-DVD movies that fill in the gaps.
