"Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming" is a 4-minute movie written and directed by Golden Globe nominee Richard Hatch from "Battlesta Galactica" and of course he is also acting in here. It seems a bit of a desperate attempt to cling to his successful past as no matter how hard this little live action film here tries, it does not offer anything beyond pompous costumes, pretentious dialogue and spectacular special effects.
Watching this trailer sent chills up and down my spine. The effects, props and the acting were superb.
...about the possibility of making his trailer available on his website.
I loved the original Battlestar Galactica. I was seven when it came out and was one of thousands of fans saddened by its cancellation.
I would really love for this to be released on Blu-Ray. This reason is quite simple.
So far, BSG: The Second Coming exists only as a trailer that Richard Hatch and Fred Stauffer take to conventions with them--as they did for VisionCon this weekend. Although it was produced on a shoestring budget, with volunteer labor, and financed by Richard Hatch's credit cards, the trailer is a sleek, professional-looking presentation with incredible CGI and good acting by old and new cast alike.
Richard Hatch took everything good about the 1978 Battlestar Galactica series and produced The Second Coming. From using the original characters, the story line, terrific special effects, and a powerful musical score, Hatch managed to draw a mega audience of young and old to take a close look at one of Science Fictions almost forgotten landmarks, Battlestar Galactica.
Hatch and the gang that assisted with the new CGI stuff and editing in the finer points from series footage have made a trailer that says- YEAH!!! I saw this at a private home showing almost 2 years ago and was simply delighted.
