Incoming Battlestar Galactica Webseries

Good news everybody! The best space opera television show since…well..EVER is coming back. An online series, titled Blood & Chrome is in the pipeline. The series would follow the experiences of a young William “Husker” Adama in the first Cylon War. Mark Stern, Syfy’s executive vice president of original programming and the co-head of original content for Universal Cable Productions told The Chicago Tribune “Battlestar Galactica” and “Caprica” co-executive producer Michael Taylor will write the the script. “Blood & Chrome” is “about a young man’s initiation into war: both the realities of war as fought by soldiers on the ground (and in Battlestars and Vipers), and the somewhat less real version portrayed in the media,” Taylor said to the Tribune.

The production is basically going to be a movie cut into 9 or 10 web episodes. We can probably expect a DVD release with some nifty special features. The series will be shot using digital sets, scan directly from BSG’s sets. Apparently, if”Blood & Chrome” is successful, it could be the first a series of similar webseries projects. Even better yet, if it’s very successful, it could even act as a backdoor pilot for a prequel television show.

While the series will probably be extremely cool, I have a slight concern on the fact that Ron D. Moore doesn’t appear to be attached to this particular production. I’ve always been a huge fan of his work, ever since his days at Deep Space Nine, and I know that he’d do a fantastic job on a BSG prequel. Without him involved, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Geek News – Has The New Hulk Been Found?

Well, geeks and geekettes,

The next chap to take on the roll of wearing the purple shorts and playing the role of Bruce Banner/The Hulk is Mark Ruffalo. This has been a short casting process since Edward Norton will not be reprising his role as the Hulk for the anticipated film The Avengers. The news was out at last night’s Marvel Panel at this years Comic Con in which the Marvel had to make the deal quickly to have the whole Avenger cast at Comic Con on time.

Darth Vader Robs Bank

A co-worker of mine sent me this link about a guy who dressed up as Darth Vader and robbed a bank. Ok, I know that Darth Vader is a bad guy, but could you a least wear the correct colored pants to do the job? I wonder if, instead of using a gun, he could have use Force Grip or the Jedi-Mind Trick…
