Battlestar Galactica / Buck Rogers Fanfilm: "United"

This is a fan film I made for the Battlestarfanfilms website. I had to cut it a little for them, so I'm posting this "director's cut" here. It's designed as a mock movie preview for a Battlestar Galactica/Buck Rogers crossover film. I cut scenes from both shows together and rendered all the CGI effects shots.

To see the shorter version of "United" and other great Battlestar Galactica fan films, please visit www.battlestarfanfilms.com.

Enjoy!

I would pay to see this done in CGI/Animated with a big budget and as many of the original voice actors as possible. Need new BG and Buck Rodgers Animated Movies NOW!!!

@TREBONIANVS There were rumors that Bryan Singer was trying to revive his continuation of the original series "Galactica," but as long as SyFy keeps making spin-offs from their reboot I don't see it happening. Frank Miller was set to direct a new version of "Buck Rogers," but after his movie version of "The Spirit" bombed the project was shelved. As far as I know, no one other than fans are making animated versions of either franchise. Thanks for writing!

What's the music that's running during the CGI version of the Battle of Cimtar towards the beginning of the video? It's hard to hear it because of the overlay of audio from BSG. From what I could hear of it, I liked it.

@scifisurfer I only used four pieces of music in the video: The Battlestar Galactica Main Theme and The Buck Rogers Theme, both by Stu Philips and Glen Larson; the Main Theme from the original "V" Miniseries by Joe Harnell; and the "Crash Sequence" theme from the "Lost in Space" movie by Bruce Broughton. The one you're asking about is most likely from "V" by Joe Harnell. It has a very ominous, apocalyptic vibe. I hope this info helps. Thanks for writing!

This is the real end of Battllestar Galactica ! Not so bad end like Battlestar Galactica 2000! i like this fan movie so much ... It`s like a dream .. there come be true Thank you so much...

@HollyHue The end of SyFy's "Battlestar Galactica" was a bit strange. It left questions open that should have been answered, but I still liked it. I'm glad you enjoyed watching this video. I had a lot of fun putting it together and I enjoy getting feedback from fans of both shows. Thanks for writing!

yeah. the episode was also notable because alot of the dwarf actors were popular character actors. the actor that played the black dwarf is still appearing in new movies too!

[buckaroohawk]

@allegretto2500 They were? Really? I have the "Buck Rogers" series on DVD, but I haven't watched too many of the episodes yet. I'll have to pay special attention when I watch that episode. Thanks for writing, and for the tip!

[allegretto2500]

Mind you all that at one point the cylons were mentioned by name! It was in the second season episode with the psychic dwarves on the wrecked solar bomb transport.

@psxwarrior Yeah, it would have been fun ... but the shows were a few years apart and on different networks so I guess this is the only way to see them together. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for writing.
