"I don't think a continuation would have been any less successful than a re-imagining," he stated firmly. "A continuation would have evolved the original show: it would have updated the Cylons, brought new characters in and gone into equally provocative areas. We could have had Eddie Olmos as the Commander, Mary as President, Jamie [Bamber] as Apollo's son, and Katee [Sackhoff] as Starbuck's Daughter. And we would have loved to have brought Ron Moore onboard too."
"A continuation would have had the best of both worlds "" it would have had the values and positives of the old show but would have updated them for today. It also wouldn't have had the problems the new show had in the beginning, when fans of the original felt upset and disappointed."
Additionally, a few years ago, Hatch created a visual proof-of-concept by executive producing, co-scripting, co-directing, and acting in Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming. This is a 4-1/2 minute, professional film trailer by Hatch which illustrated his concepts for a new Battlestar Galactica TV Series or movie continuation of the original series.
More from Hatch can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.
