‘Battlestar Galactica: Blood And Chrome’ Teaser Trailer: Young Adama Fights First-Wave Cylons
The fortunes ofBlood and Chrome, theprequelto the revampedBattlestar Galactica, have risen and fallen over the past couple years. Planned at various times as a TV movie, a possible pilot for a new BSG series, and a web series, Blood and Chrome was conceived as an action-oriented project with most of the footage shot against greenscreen, composited with CG reconstructions ofBSGsets that were scanned before the end of the show’s fourth season. While the show was announced in late 2010, we still don’t really know what’s up with the plans to air the show at this point.
What we do know is that there is now a trailer for the story of a young William Adama as he fights in the first Cylon war. And while the trailer does nothing to tell us whether the script, acting or characters are any good, itlooksvery, very cool. Check it out below.
Update:Turns out the trailer wasn’t quite official and has been pulled. And Syfy confirmed toEWthat while the network will give the pilot a TV airing in the future, at some point, the plans forBlood and Chromeare web-based at best. So no new TV series for now.
If that’s an official use of the Reznor/Karen O cover of ‘Immigrant Song,’ as heard inThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, that would suggest that Syfy is really putting some money behindBlood and Chrome. The title cards suggest the same thing. But this is reportedly a leaked teaser, so we don’t know all the details on its creation.
