"Battlestar Galactica prequel Blood &amp;amp; Chrome will now only air as a web series, Syfy has confirmed.  The project was greenlighted back in October 2010, but extensive post-production meant that its 90-minute pilot was not ready until November last year.  In the wake of the delays, Syfy have announced that Blood &amp;amp; Chrome will not air as a TV series.  Instead, the extended first episode will be shown on screen as a one-off movie, before the series continues online - as originally intended.  &amp;quot;Though the vision for Battlestar Galactica: Blood &amp;amp; Chrome has evolved over the course of the past year, our enthusiasm for this ambitious project has not waned,&amp;quot; Syfy president of original programming Mark Stern said in a statement.  &amp;quot;We are actively pursuing it as was originally intended: a groundbreaking digital series that will launch to audiences beyond the scope of a television screen. The 90-minute pilot movie will air on Syfy in its entirety at a future date.&amp;quot; An unauthorised trailer for Battlestar Galactica: Blood &amp;amp; Chrome made its way online in the hours prior to Syfy&amp;#039;s announcement, having premiered at WonderCom last weekend.  The new series will focus on the early years of the Cylon war when a young Ensign Adama is assigned to the newly-built spaceship Galactica. Skins star Luke Pasqualino, Smallville actress Jill Teed and Ben Cotton of Hellcats are among the cast.
