They've even bastardized the Queen theme music. :grr:

1. Well I will give it a look see.

Ya never know after the great job they did with Battlestar.

2. There's never been a good "modern" version

And, BG was terrific.

3. I'm really on the fence with it

On one hand, I'm looking at BG and their treatment of the Stargate series' and hoping they do the same wonderful job here.

On the other hand, you can look at their version of Dune, their lousy TV conversion of Painkiller Jane, or any of their countless cheesy movie productions to see just how BAD it might be.

PLEASE let it be BG quality!

4. I look at it this way...

The fact they are are already perverting the Queen movie theme music, says a lot.

5. Funny thing about the original...

Sam Jones (a natural brunette) had his hair dyed blond for the role.
Melody Anderson (a natural blonde) had her hair dyed brown for the role.

(I love movie trivia)

6. My SO is bouncing off the walls waiting for it.

I'm not a Queen fan, so I have no problem with the music. I just hope it's not super cheesey like "Smallville". I feel like I have to shower after I watch that show.

7. FYI, according to AICN

they will not be using the Queen soundtrack. FWIW.

8. We can always look forward to series based upon "Plan 9" or "Battlefield Earth"...

...and other lesser-rated universes we'd like to visit.
