This online Battestar Galactica magazine offers fans unique and new interviews of the people in front of and behind the camera of all Battlestar Galactica TV series. Rotterdam, The Netherlands (GALACTICA.TV), June 13, 2007 - New and interesting interviews with cast and crew of both the original and re- imagined Battlestar Galactica TV series are presented in an bi-monthly online magazine to give unique insight in all aspects of the series. In 2003, the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica series was re-imagined, in the year of its 25th anniversary. At this time the original series still had one of the largest fan following of any TV series ever made. Marcel Damen and Mike Egnor were among this large Battlestar Galactica fan following who still cherished their childhood series and heroes after three decades. In 2003 the DVD set of the original Battlestar Galactica series was finally brought out and this set them off to actually find their childhood heroes again. Next to this they also greatly enjoyed the storylines and episodes of the new re-imagined series on TV at that moment and became huge fans of that as well. Only one year later they found over 150 of the original Battlestar Galactica series cast and crew and had letters and signed photos returned. Their online signature collection was quickly noticed by some convention organizers and before they knew it they were helping to organize two largest Battlestar Galactica cast reunions in Europe ever done. At the conventions relationships were tightened, friendships with the cast were born and soon they found themselves building websites for many of the Battlestar Galactica main cast. In the mean time they had also been started interviewing some of the long lost cast and crew and often got unique new stories no fan had ever heard over three decades. Interviewing went well and they quickly extended their project by including the current, now immensely popular re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series as well. It set them off to create "GALACTICA.TV - the Battlestar Galactica site that focuses on the cast in front of and the crew behind the camera of all Battlestar Galactica series". The site is already an enormous success. Currently about 8, 000 fans/month find their way to the GALACTICA.TV website for their bi-monthly shot of new Battlestar Galactica interviews. Next to the interviews the site also is building a database of profile pages of every cast and crew member ever worked on any of the Battlestar Galactica series and it offers fans a platform to tell their Battlestar Galactica stories and discuss what makes them fans. Next year, on the 30th anniversary of the Battlestar Galactica series, Marcel Damen and Mike Egnor in collaboration with the Battlestar Fan Club hope to bring fans, cast and crew together by organizing the largest reunion ever. On a four day cruise, starting in LA, fans can enjoy the combination of a holiday and a Battlestar Galactica convention.
