'BLAKE'S 7' HOLLYWOOD STYLE

Big movie-style trailer for the grand finale of Blakes 7(BBC 1978 1981). Lots of things explode.

The music was used in the trailer for the new JJ. Abrams Star Trek film. Thought it would be a bit of a challenge applying it to a (nearly) thirty year old British sci-fi series. Would love to get my hands on some decent 3D software and re-do some of the effects. Anyhoo...

Hope you like.

PS. A LOLLIPOP GOES TO THE FIRST PERSON WHO CAN TELL WHERE THAT FIRST SHOT OF THE LIBERATOR IS TAKEN FROM. Hint: It's not from the Blake's 7 DVD menus. :)

They oughta make this show into a movie! And Americanize it. A good cast would be as follows: Chris Klein as Blake, Mika Boorem as Jenna, Eric Balfour as Avon, Tina Majorino as Cally, Jonathan Bennett as Vila, Paulo Costanzo (a Canadian) as Gan, Angie Harmon as Servalan, and Peter Facinelli as Travis. As for Zen the computer, it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow the original show's example and have him voiced by a Brit again. Dominic Monaghan might be a good choice there.

@loganidol A few years ago I would've disagreed with you about an American version. But the Battlestar Galactica remake proved they can do cynical sci-fi where the goodies don't always win.

I really enjoyed this, thanks! And unless I'm very much mistaken, the opening Liberator shot is actually from The Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy.

@Cthulhu1970 Thank you. And well done. Have a lollipop!

@darrylsloan Thank you! :)

@SciFiAssasin It is too! I do miss Scorpio taking off. Even now, I do the quote from "Rescue" when I can't get my car to start: "C'mon you scruffy bag of bolts, lift!"

Greatest. Ending. To. A. Television. Series. Ever.
