Blood and Chrome trailer was shown at the BSG panel at WonderCon this
weekend. Hero Complex has a report from the panel with Kevin Grazier.
At the end of his talk, Grazier screened a trailer for the upcoming
"Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome, a two-hour television film which
is set in the 10th year of the First Cylon War. Edited at rapid-cutting
pace to Trent Reznor and Karen O's cover of "Immigrant Song" for "The Girl
With the Dragon Tattoo" which was actually quite fitting with images of
ice-covered planets and (space)ships the trailer ended with title cards
flashing the words "It's time for a SyFy game-changer." Still no official word
on what Blood and Chrome is (a TV film or a pilot) even though...

After lengthy deliberations, Syfy has decided not to go forward with the
project, about the young years of William Adama, as a regular TV series.
Blood & Chrome, initially envisioned as a Web series, was greenlighted as
a two-hour TV pilot in October 2010. Because of intensive post-production,
including special effects, the pilot was not delivered to Syfy until last
November. As of January, Syfy president original programming Mark Stern
was quoted as saying that he the network brass were "trying to figure out
the economics right now" and that he hoped those would be figured out. Now,
the network has passed on the project as a regular series but is looking to
do it as a digital one, while airing the already produced pilot on the
network as a movie. "Though the vision for "Battlestar Galactica: Blood &
Chrome" has evolved over the course of the past year, our enthusiasm for this
ambitious project has not waned," Stern said in a statement today. "We are
actively pursuing it as was originally intended: a groundbreaking digital
series that will launch to audiences beyond the scope of a television screen.
The 90-minute pilot movie will air on Syfy in its entirety at a future date."
... That trailer, to Trent Reznor and Karen Os cover of "Immigrant Song" for
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, found its way to the Web on Monday night and
has gone viral garnering some 100,000 views in 24 hours. The problem was
that this was not an official trailer but a demo reel not intended for public
consumption ...
