	Movies - Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming

Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming was a project to create a movie trailer for a proposed new Battlestar Galactica television series that would pick up from where the original 1978 series left off.

Created, produced, and directed by Richard Hatch who starred in the original series as Captain Apollo, the project was conceived to convince Universal Studios, the owners to the rights to Galactica franchise, to greenlight a project based on the concepts in the trailer.

Hatch was able to get many stars from the original series including Richard Lynch, John Colicos and Terry Carter to appear in the trailer, and Hatch himself starred in a reprise of his earlier role. The trailer also featured interesting computer generated special effects.

Once it was complete, Hatch travelled to a series of science fiction conventions to show the trailer and it proved to be very popular with fans. However, Hatch never succeeded in getting Universal's attention, and a different project, the reimagined Battlestar Galactica conceived of by Ronald D. Moore was ultimately pursued.

Later, Richard Hatch joined the new Battlestar Galactica series cast as the recurring character of Tom Zarek. However, Hatch continues to push for a revival/continuation of his own vision of the original series (he writes original novels based on it).
