A demo reel proposal to remaster classic Battlestar Galactica

I don't know who is behind this but I hope it becomes a reality..

Very impressive, but I still love the vintage model, matte and motion control VFX of the original.

This is what I always hoped a Galactica reboot would look like. I'll take this over Moore's version, thanks.

That would be cool if they did it like the Star Trek TOS Blu Rays, and included both the original and re-done versions.

There's more information about the demo reel and the guy who created it on www.thedigitalbits.com. Just posted today.

It looks great but like Star Trek the new effects look too good for an old show like this.

Shoot, according to the Digital Bits, it's not happening.

So here’s the deal: Classic Battlestar is coming to Blu-ray in early 2015. But don’t expect to see anything like the above on the discs, because Universal turned the idea down. Maybe... just maybe... fans of this series will see Mojo’s demo and let Universal Studios Home Entertainment know (via Facebook and Twitter) that they want more of this on Blu-ray. Because there should be more of this on Blu-ray. It’s pretty fracking awesome. In any case, at least you all now get to enjoy a good look at how cool classic Battlestar remastered might have been.

This is really disappointing. I can't resist the series released on blu ray, and yet, I'll be disappointed to know that it could've been much more.
