This event is being managed by National CineMedia LLC.

Written by Michael Taylor and directed by Emmy nominee Felix Alcala, Razor tells the story of Lee Adama’s (Jamie Bamber) first mission as commander of the Battlestar Pegasus and will reveal the story of how Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) served her ship during the original Cylon attack on the Colonies.

Admission is FREE, courtesy of Xbox 360, Zune, and “Mass Effect,” the epic science-fiction action and role-playing game (RPG) experience created by BioWare exclusively for Xbox 360. A complete list of theaters and ticketing information are available at www.BattlestarEvent.com. Seating is extremely limited.

Razor will air on SCI FI on November 24 @ 9pm and will be followed by the release of an extended/unrated DVD edition on December 4.

Razor is rated TV14-LV, “Mass Effect” is rated “M” for Mature.
