Daemonik writes, Tonight is the big premier of SciFi’s ‘reimagining’ of the Battlestar Galactica saga. Will it hold it’s own as a bold new take on the short lived series or will you walk away from it feeling cheap and dirty? We might as well make a weekly discussion for this one, too.

On October 14, the original Battlestar Galactica will
be released on DVD. More details are available at TV Shows on DVD.

TV Shows on DVD recently added an article saying that a video game and DVD set of the original television series Battlestar Galactica will be released this fall to promote the new series launching in December. (They also have news reporting stuff on the Firefly DVDs that was linked from out “they’re making a movie” article.)

quecojones writes, According to this article over on Slashdot it seems like the Sci-Fi channel is bringing back Battlestar Galactica! We’ve reported on development and casting before, but now they’ve got a production schedule. Filming starts this month in Vancouver.

Video Business is running an article announcing plans from Universal to release Quantum Leap, Battlestar Galactica, Earth: Final Conflict, Sliders, and a bunch more that’s not genre entertainment.

story announcing Ronald D. Moore has been
chosen to write the Battlestar Galactica
mini-series for Sci-Fi Network. Moore is
promising a retelling of the story without the
gloss of the original series. Good! I thought
the original was a waste of a great premise.
Let’s hope Moore can do better job.

Singer has made a deal with Studios USA to reinvent Battlestar Galactica and executive produce it with Tom DeSanto, and he’ll direct the pilot if it doesn’t clash with the “X-Men 2” shooting schedule.

All I can say is “Yea!” and I hope they keep the old music.
