BSG, Caprica, Blood and Chrome series topic discussion - May Contain Spoilers

[Nebula]

This idea for the BSG movie has been around for a LONG time... I think it spawns from the doomed series continuation that was supposed to pop up in 2001.

This BSG movie has the creator of the first BSG on board so we are going to see quite a few new things.
This isn't Hollywood's doing.

[JimmyB76]

*yawn*

still no interest in a 3rd-time-around, im sorry...
Sci-Fi did a fantastic job as it was, why even need for a 3rd? *coughohrightmoneycough*
so who is playing Adama this time around? LOL
stupid stupid stupid...   :roll:


btw - this will be in the theaters, right?  so how isnt is hollywoodized/sellout already?  lol
how already obvious and transparent this shite is lol

[Nebula]

lmao... Hollywood isn't responsible for every movie made..

You can't kill a movie we haven't even seen the previews of yet...

This even may turn out to be a more faithful version of the series heh....

Here I got this off of wikipedia

Creator Glen A. Larson is in talks with Universal Pictures to bring Battlestar Galactica to the big screen. The film will not be based on the Sci Fi Channel series of the same title; it will be based on the original series which starred Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict and the late Lorne Greene.

[Kirk]

I have to agree with Neb, although I still think that it will only serve to confuse casual viewers when they go to see this movie after watching Caprica and realizing the stories don't line up.

[JimmyB76]

lmao... Hollywood isn't responsible for every movie made..

see, youre not even understanding what im saying lol
answer me this - will it be a movie in which you have to pay money for on the big screen?  or will it be free on cable or some shit?
if the previous one is the correct choice, than ya - Hollywood is the correct adjective...   perhaps youre not understanding the adjective as displayed...

You can't kill a movie we haven't even seen the previews of yet...
This even may turn out to be a more faithful version of the series heh....

sure ya can...  it's called "been done countless times this decade (with many previously-done movies) already with hundreds of other remakes" lol  shall i go to list every movie based on something already been done, or some stupid nostalgia we grew up with in the '80s?
surely you must see that point at least?
and to think theyre carrying on with the name seeing how successful Sci-Fi was at it?  talk about taking someones leftover lunch and trying to whip up a gourmet meal with it?  lol surely you have the objective point of view to see this?  youre not a sheep eager to eat it all up as it is fed to you right?
am i the only one who sees this bullshit remakes exactly what they are, throwing away the nostalgia and yay-yay-cool-CGI-bullshit???

[Kirk]

Now now, no need to nitpick each others arguments.

[Nebula]

OMG this doesn't have anything to do with the previous writers/producers of the reboot series...

The Creator of the ORIGINAL SERIES want's to do a movie based in the ORIGINAL SERIES plot universe.

time line is like so in trek terms...

TOS, TNG, TOS:MOVIE

[JimmyB76]

im not nitpicking Neb, im nitpicking Hollywood and their sad choices for "new" movies, and i nitpick the sheep that gobble it all up with glee and nostalgia and spend money to keep the snowball effect going...
i mean, why bother having a *gasp* brand new and exciting *not yet been done* plot or movie, when it is easier to rehash/rewrite/reboot some shit that people will sheepishly spend money for?  lol *coughlazywaytomakemoneythoitworkssadlywiththesheep*
i cant blame them, myself...  hells bells, that is the easiest route of course...  rewrite/rehash/reboot/whatever shit from 20 years ago (lets do it now 3 times as BSG now) the shit we enjoyed as kids, now 20 years later as the targeted audience...
seriously, am i the only one that really sees it for what it truly deeply is, all of it?  lol
or are you kids too young to really not have been there in the 80s?
analyze it...

[Nebula]

Soooo in a related matter you're saying ST:TNG (no wait the ST:animated series) should never have been made.

I'm going to hold out on this film and judge it when I see it.
I want to see what the ORIGINAL author can come up with, in his universe.

[JimmyB76]

difference: ST:TNG was 30 years later, (and 80 yrs later in the timeline) and it wasnt anything remade from the 60s as far as characters or anything...  in fact, they kept the oldschool as canon and kept with that, tho a few decades later...
come on, Neb - is that the best debate you got? lol
BSG - 30 yrs later?  thats a movie i would enjoy seeing...
surely you must understand the difference?

[Nebula]

The original BSG was released in 1978... so it will be 32/33 years....
That is the series this new movie will be based in.

[JimmyB76]

sorry, youre not a good salesman lol
i stand by how i feel...  and it is sad this will be fed to the sheep who will pay lots of money for it...
sad thing, really...

[Nebula]

Not sad at all... I'll enjoy this movie for the fact it is out of the mind of the original creator.
We don't get movies like this anymore for Trek... No Gene to fall back on.

[JimmyB76]

see the point i think youre missing (or maybe you were born in a different generation?) is completely over youre head i guess, what im trying to say on a deeper level...
anyway, im not gonna debate this anymore - go ahead and spend money on already-been-done-shit, thats exactly what they want you to do, thats the easiest way out for them to make your money lol
silly sheep...

[Nebula]

This isn't "already-been-done-shit..." this is a continuation of a story that ended to early 30 years ago.

And of course we were born in a diff generation 1987 to 1976

How many times to I have to say it... this movie is based in the original series plot by the original writer/creator of the series... (not the new writers that completely changed things from BSG canon) This has been in works for years and he finally has the chance.

This movie will most likely use elements the latest BSG series never even touched from the first series. 
why are we even arguing over this??? the movie hasn't even got a preview out yet...

[JimmyB76]

back and forth and back and forth
lol  they should recruit you as a salesperson, neb!  lol
ya tell me again how this doesnt fall under the "remake/reboot/been done before/already done crap as every other modern hollywood movie"?
we're going in circles...   frack it, i made my point...
go ahead and spend money on a "not original" movie as everything else we have forced-fed to us by Hollywood, cuz thats what makes it keep goin' round...  this cycle has been going for a decade now...
personally, ill save my money for something new, fresh, original, and compelling - god willing there are any moguls left willing to do so and not taking the easy way out to make a buck...  (then again, who can blame them?)
sad how today's society is, how easily they feed us with nostalgia laced with CGI and sexy and graphics and weak storylines so long as it looks "cool", but how sadder we easily and more readily gobble it up to make them richer easier...
it's all about the bigger picture (heh no pun intended) with which i guess you just dont get...   *sigh*


anyway, pls dont respond, enough of this tennis match - lets please move on unless someone else has a view...

moving on...
_{*cookied Neb *}

[Trim]

Ok, what did I miss?  Summary please, I'm too lazy to go back and read all that shite.   :mrgreen:

[Dalek]

Basically, they're gonna make a new BSG film which is in no-way linked to the recent series and is stemming off the original series with the original BSG creator at the helm.

[Trim]

First I've heard about this, got any links?

[Nebula]

They have an article about it on trekmovie.com, I quoted part of it on the other page...
