This new trailer for the next season of Battlestar Galactica has been sitting in my inbox for a while now, and I hadn’t posted it because, I’ll be honest, I still haven’t gotten around to watching this show. It’s just that usually when I’m flipping through the Sci-Fi channel, something like this is on.  But if I had a nickel for every time someone told me how awesome Battlestar Galactica is, I’d have a big bag of nickels with which to wang in the ding dong the next guy to tell me how awesome Battlestar Galactica is.  F-ck, that last sentence gave me vertigo.  Anyway, I’ll catch up soon, I promise.  So, uh, what’s with the dude in the eye patch, does he always speak in Bob Dylan lyrics?

This is the trailer for Franklyn, a British Sci-Fi film from first time writer-director Gerald McMorrow.  Ryan Phillippe plays the lead role once slated for Ewan McGregor.

Franklyn follows four intertwining stories, three of which take place in contemporary London, the fourth in a parallel fantasy world called Meanwhile City. In Meanwhile City, atheist vigilante Jonathan Preest (Phillippe) fights against the various religious presences. Ultimately, his path crosses with three others (Eva Green, Sam Riley, Bernard Hill) from London.

Looks like it could be interesting, but let’s be honest, the bar’s pretty low for sci fi these days.  No army of monkeys?  No little kids driving race cars?  F-ck it, sign me up.  Also – you know you’re a real atheist when you spell your name “preest”.
