“The trailers were assembled to show off at the fan film screenings at Denver’s Starfest” said John Rogers, the film’s director and producer. “Attendees at Denver’s Starfest got the very first look at the trailers, and we also gave our own team a sneak peek at them. The results of these advance showings were very gratifying–but it’s time to allow the rest of the Battlestar fan community a look at what we’ve been working on these past few months. Our entire team has been really excited to get to show off some of the work they’ve been doing.""Keep watching. We’re just getting started...expect the full film in spring of 2007.”Battlestar Galactica is the property and trademark of NBC/Universal.

Detroit Can Come Back

Like me it looks like Ben Stein loves the American automobile. While he is mistaken about the late 60's automobile, it was more the 70's-80's where Detroit fell on its face. He is right Detroit should...
