New Battlestar webisodes about the Cylon Wars

Source Blastr.com

There will be a new Battlestar series but this time on the web. There will be about 10 - 10 minute webisodes of the series that is suppose to boast high tech effects.  This will be a post series epic about a young Adama and Cylon war. The webisodoes are suppose to bring to light the true horror of wars especially ground combat. It will be interesting to see the end results. As a big BSG fan of both the original and the remake I will of course keep my eye on the the whens and wheres this will happen and blog back when I hear anything.

"Blood & Chrome" would consist of nine or 10 episodes of nine or 10 minutes each, and it would make use of cutting-edge digital technology and special effects to depict the Cylon War. If it is greenlit to production, it will be filmed using green screens and virtual sets, not unlike Syfy's "Sanctuary" or James Cameron's "Avatar." Before "Battlestar Galactica" ended, high-tech scans were made of all the show's sets, so that the special-effects team will be able to re-create them (possibly even in 3D).

Caprica on SYFY

image 

The made for DVD movie and the series spin off of Battlestar Galactica called Caprica will premiere this January 22nd at 9 eastern 8 central on SYFY channel. I did get to watch the DVD when it was released last year and I did expect something like Battlestar but I was surprised to see it had a different type of feel to it . Not that it is bad just a little different .

While the episode was still fresh in my mind I decided to write a little a blog piece about it then which I cleaned up a bit and reprinted below.  I totally expect the TV version to be a bit different then the DVD only because certain content that may be key to some areas of the plot will most likely be cut out do to its adult nature.

 Expect the first episode to be a slower pace then BSG. But also take in consideration it is a pilot and introduction to a bigger story and  in these epic type of sci fi programs that means it may take some episodes to get going. No doubt the faithful will tune in and it will run its course and be a huge success. If not it will have the core audience to hold it up until the story is played out so either way the story that fills in all the blanks of the Battlestar universe should be complete from beginning to end.
