Fan Expo: Aaron Douglas Interview

Alex talks with Aaron Douglas, who plays Chief on Battlestar Galactica. It starts off as a mutual Ricky Gervais / Stephen Merchant / Karl Pilkington fan chat (Aaron want to work with them, hint hint), then turns to discussions about the announced BSG TV movie being directed by Edward James Olmos and his roles in The Bridge and Blood: A Butcher’s Tale and what it’s like to work on a fully green screened set. NOTE: This is a repost because the earlier version contained an error.

Fan Expo: Rick Green Interview

Ryan talks to Rick Green about the hilarious history of Hoverboy, and Doug pops in to find the truth behind the fate of the Prisoners Of Gravity chair. “The chair ended up in our garage after the series ended and I just knew that someday it would be worth something as a collector’s item, but, you know, raccoons pooed all over it and it went in the garbage eventually…” Rick summarized. A sad end to a beloved prop indeed.

Fan Expo: 4 Interviews In 8 Minutes

Ryan and Dave spent part of the day Saturday hanging in the Media Room area, and managed to have some brief chats with Wes Craven, Kate Mulgrew, Buzz Aldrin and Henry Winkler, in no particular order. Buzz describing getting the shot of the earth rise is a particular highlight, in the science fact department. NOTE:  The end credit in this video is wrong.  It’s Ryan on the mic, and Dave (mostly) shooting.  He vanished before the Kate Mulgrew interview, so Kate’s assistant Holly deserves a thumbs up for taking over…

Fan Expo: Tobe Hooper Interview

Dave sits down with legendary director Tobe Hooper, who clears up his inspiration for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (hint: it’s NOT Ed Gein). “It occured to me if I start one up, you know that the people would part like the waters… that’s the true story.” Put that line in context, and you’ll get the point. Beyond that, he also discusses his influences, why torture porn has seen such a rise in popularity, and has a tip for budding film makers.

Fan Expo: Eddie Olmos & Aaron Douglas talk about the next Battlestar feature film

Almost live from Fan Expo, Admiral Adama himself is talking about directing the next feature-length Battlestar Galactica film. Olmos describes the project as a “Major motion picture”, although that appears to be a slip of the tongue, as Aaron Douglas later confirmed with rgbFilter’s Alex that the project is in fact a 2-hour television event that will air on the Sci-Fi channel.
