exception of Brad Spitfire. The title translates to In a galaxy near you, a pun on the classic cinema advertising line Coming to a theatre near you. It was initially set to be broadcast on a mainstream network under the name Vadrouille de l'espace. Patrouille du cosmos (Space Patrol) is the Quebec French language title of Star Trek (France knows it by its original title); Vadrouille de l'espace basically translates to Casual Space Journey. Science fiction being rare in Quebec fiction, the main networks ultimately did risk broadcasting the show. The creators turned to the youth-oriented Canal Famille, the former name of Vrak TV, who welcomed the project. Even though it was presented on a children's channel, its humour is, while caricatural, often relatively mature and sophisticated. Movie A movie of the same title and premise was released in 2004. It proved to be a hit with younger and older viewers, and drew unanticipatedly good reviews from intellectual critics. It was also groundbreaking for its impressive special effects accomplished with a small budget and a short filming time, and for being one of the few sci-fi Quebec films, along with In the Belly of the Dragon (Dans le ventre du dragon). The second "Galaxie" movie, "Dans une galaxie près de chez vous 2", was released to theatres on April 18, 2008. A third chapter of "Galaxie" was planned; however, only very little information about it has been made public.
