Larson on Galactica

[ernie90125]

Brutally honest opinion Micheleh, but also sadly I suspect quite possibly true....

It angers me because I really care about all my friends here online, and don't like to see them being played. That's how I read this- poppa L just says enough to stay on the map, and does nothing. I, personally, will believe him when he has as much film in the can as Richard.

I have seen the most loyal, dedicated fanbase I know get treated like a nonentity by a major studio, and then a tool and personal cachet by the one person who has the power to rectify the situation. If he has these rights, then he needs to bloody well use them. Enough of the talk and no action. I, personally, think he needs to be called to the carpet. Either explain why it isn't happening and do something about it, or turn the rights over to someone who will. Either way, I want to tell him to quit playing everyone around, they're good people and deserve some feedback and honesty after years of unrequited loyalty.

Hear, hear, Michelleh. Very well said.

My friends, I must concur with Michelleh on this. Cautious optimism should be our watchword.

Richard Hatch at least DID film (quite professionally) an idea for a continuation story...and it was tossed aside out of hand, by TPTB.

I agree now that GAL should be "called out onto the carpet" and asked to fully explain what the hang up is with Galactica. Time waits for no one, my friends. And too much time is going by. I agree that good people, fans of the original show, and potential new fans of the original show, are being strung along by empty promises....and it kills me to see some people hanging onto those words as if they were mana from God Himself. Hope is a beautiful thing, my friends, but please, do not rest entirely upon it. If things turn out counter to that hope (i.e. no continuation movie ever gets made) then you will find yourselves hurthing even more than you've already been. And trust me, I've already counseled a few people about their feelings on this matter....it is not a pretty sight.

Personally, until I hear it straight from GAL as to what's going on...it's all "vaporware" to me. I remain cautiously optimistic. I can afford "blind faith" no more.

I remember reading that Larson was going to make a movie with Todd Moyer. he made mention of this at the 15th anniversary convention. Why was the movie shelved?
