Blood and Chrome is a television pilot that is in development, following the exploits of a young William Adama during the First Cylon War. It is a sequel to Caprica and a prequel to the Re-imagined Series.[1]
Other than the initial announcement[2] from Syfy Channel's executive vice president of programming Mark Stern and Blood and Chrome's co-producer Michael Taylor, the feature has been greenlit.[1]
The plan is for the series to have a two-hour backdoor pilot, which has recently been greenlighted by Syfy.[1] The pilot will be directed by Jonas Pate.[3]
Depending on the success of this pilot, it may lead to a television series.
Plot
According to Taylor, the series is "about a young man's [William Adama] initiation into war: both the realities of war as fought by soldiers on the ground (and in Battlestars and Vipers), and the somewhat less real version portrayed in the media."[2]
Further, Taylor points out that the scope of the series "isn't confined to Galactica. Far from it. It's a story that will take us to new corners of the Battlestar world (or worlds), and yet it aims to be a very contemporary war movie in a lot of ways. I would say I'm thinking as much of Afghanistan and Iraq--the reality of [The] Hurt Locker, Sebastian Junger's Restrepo, and similar movies--as I am about about the largely implied past of Battlestar."[2]
Blood and Chrome was also meant to feature adult situations as, according to Taylor, the series will not "[shy] away from R-rated blood and guts and sex" due to it being initially meant for online consumption.[2] Given its status as a televised feature, it is possible that the "adult situations" may be retooled to make it appropriate for broadcast.
