The trailer for the new "Battlestar Galactica" movie was unveiled at the San Diego Comic Con on Thursday, July 24, as part of the usual excitement and revelations slated for the big science fiction and fantasy convention.

The International Business Times' schedule of events set the viewing of a trailer for the new "Battlestar Galactica" movie for Thursday morning. Called "The Legacy and Return of 'Battlestar Galactica,'" the panel included actors Richard Hatch, Luciana Carro and Jamie Bamber along with Dr. Kevin Grazier, the show's science consultant, and producer Alec Peters. They discussed the new movie and showed a trailer.

Ever since the news of a "Battlestar Galactica" movie, fans have been worried about what the new movie would be like. According to Wired, one of the greatest issues is the alleged "reimagining" of the series. However, since some of the actors involved in the show spoke about the movie, it seems likely some characters will return.

Aside from the movie, two "BSG" actors appeared in a project called the "Titans of Comic-Con," which tried to bring back the convention to its comic book roots, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Grace Park and Katee Sackhoff appeared as Luke Skywalker and Hans Solo, respectively, in the "Star Wars" section of the mixed-media project. Various other stars recreated classic characters.

Syfy, the channel that spawned "Battlestar Galactica" and countless other great science fiction shows only to devolve into "Sharknado," will be returning to its own roots, according to The New York Times. Syfy will use Comic Con to promote its new upcoming space shows.

"Ascension," "a six-hour miniseries about a covert United States space mission launched in the 1960s: Hundreds of people have been sent to populate a new world, but halfway there they face a mystery that makes them question whether to turn back," will carry on the torch of TV shows set in space. The show will air on Syfy in November.

Other new shows, like "Killjoys," made by the producers of "Orphan Black," and "The Expanse," a space opera set 200 years in the future, will also continue the legacy of space television, though no dates have been given for these two shows.
