Mission Statement
Synopsis
100 million miles from home, he'll be there.
You Can Run But You Can't Hide
Galactican is an ageing Bounty Hunter who has earned the formidable reputation of being able to capture or kill the outlaws he is pursuing.
Although Bounty Hunting has been legalised in order to stem the swell of criminal activity of the frontier of known space, they are treated as outcasts by the authorities on Earth and the other colonised planets in the solar system, due to the nature of their work and the large financial incentives they are paid for a bounty.
The story begins with the Bounty Hunter on the trail of a particularly brutal cyborg known as Kruger.
The outlaw also heads a gang, therefore, Galactican faces the prospect of confronting half a dozen or more killers in his attempt to bring violent cyborg to justice.
His confrontation is marred by the arrival of Caprice, a vivacious Bounty Hunter, who is also on the trail of the outlaw.
Not only must Galactican dispose of this fierce competition, but also take the gang to the Martian authorities.
Galactican finds himself overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of two more
gang members and it is only with Caprice's intervention that he’s finally able to
re-capture Kruger.
Bounty Hunters are about the Money, except Galactican. For him, it's about justice and right morals.
Which is why our audience will connect with him.
A Long Time Ago...
The Creator
Back in the 90s, Richard, an big fan of the great Sci-Fi movies and TV of his generation, wrote the first draft of a sci-fi epic entitled The Galactican based on his own original idea. He approached Gary Kurtz, Producer of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back as well as veteran director of The Empire Strikes Back, Irvin Kirshner who both loved the first draft and agreed to Produce and Irvin Kershner, Director of ‘Empire’ direct.

The Show Will Go On
The franchise would consist of a theatrical feature film & television series, with syndication and merchandising on a world-wide basis. But as with all of these things it take a lot of time to get off the ground, and sadly, both Gary and Kirsh have now passed on, but the show goes on and their commitment hasn't gone to waste. The Galactican continues and will be dedicated to both of them.
