Titan Publishing Group has announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group for the publishing rights to the hit sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica.
The brand new series of Battlestar Galactica - a 're-imagined' version of the cult 1970s television programme, has quickly become one of the most critically acclaimed and popular sci-fi shows on television. Boasting viewer figures of 3.1 million, the debut episode became the highest-rated January show on the SciFi Channel in the US, and the channel's second-biggest premiere ever.
Titan's Sophie Mitchell tells us: "Titan Publishing Group has had complete access to the set of this groundbreaking and innovative new take on the Battlestar universe right from the beginning. Titan's extensive behind-the-scenes access to the I cast and crew has paid off in two exciting new projects for the group."
Firstly, Titan has acquired the World English Language rights for the only authorized companion guide to Battlestar Galactica. Authored by David Bassom, Executive Editor of Dreamwatch magazine and seasoned sci-fi and fantasy writer, Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion will be published in June 2005, and will feature exclusive interviews, insider secrets, a complete episode guide to the mini-series and first season of the television series, and a 16-page colour photo supplement.
According to Titan Books Editor, Adam Newell: "There is no more popular television show at the moment than Battlestar Galactica. Even fans of the 1970s original are converts to the new series. Our companion guide will fill a welcome void for these fans as they eagerly await the second season."
And in addition, Titan Magazines, the largest and most experienced publisher of licensed entertainment magazines in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand, has added the Official Battlestar Galactica Magazine to its portfolio. This bi-monthly, 68-page guide will offer an extensive selection of cast and crew interviews and on set reports, photos and more.
