by THE DEADLINE TEAM
Friday January 25, 2013
The network’s "Battlestar Galactica" prequel has been hurtling through space in various incarnations since Syfy decided last March not to go forward with the pilot for a potential series.
Instead, "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome" debuted as a weekly web series on the Machinima Prime YouTube channel, garnering around 8 million views.
The network is now following through on its promise to give it an airdate, setting February 10 from 9-11 PM for its world TV premiere as a two-hour full-length movie.
The Universal Cable Productions pic will include scenes not included in the online release, and it will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD on February 19.
"Blood & Chrome" is set during the first Cylon war and centers on young William Adama (Luke Pasqualino).
David Eick is executive producer along with Michael Taylor, who wrote the teleplay from a story by Taylor, Eick, Bradley Thompson and David Weddle. All are veterans of Syfy’s original "Battlestar" series.
Jonas Pate (Caprica) directed.
