The Colonial Fanforce is a group of worldwide BSG fans seeking to raise enough money to purchase at least one, and possibly two, full page ads in a pair of national publications to demonstrate to Glen Larson, Tom DeSanto, and the major Hollywood studios that we want this movie now, more than ever.

We're hoping to make the ad buys for the 17 September 2004 issue of Daily Variety, and the September issue of Cinsecape.

"Colonial Fan Force officials, in a press release, said they want to purchase full-page ads in the Sept. 17 issue of Daily Variety as well as the September issue of Cinescape. The ads, officials said, are intended to send a message of support to series creator Glen A. Larson, who still holds the movie rights to the "Battlestar Galactica" franchise. The ads also will apparently target Tom DeSanto, a producer with "The X-Men" films who was part of an original "Galactica" series project for Fox with Bryan Singer before their schedules made it impossible to continue. Singer and DeSanto reportedly had planned to do a continuation series, different from the re-imagination that ultimately was done for Sci-Fi Channel."

"Larson stated at Galacticon that he would pursue a film version of the original 'Galactica' if support among the fanbase remained strong following the rboadcast of the Sci-Fi Channel's re-imagining," said Bill Gordon, a spokesman for the project. The Galacticon was held last October in Los Angeles, two months before the Sci-Fi miniseries debuted.

"He also said that he would want to make that film with Tom DeSanto. These ads are meant to send a clear signal that support for such a continuation does, in fact, remain as strong as ever."
