'Talking 'Battlestar Galactica's' finale, 'Caprica' and the 'Battlestar' TV movie with Ron Moore'
Some great things and more updates on Caprica andt he new BSG Series final TV Movie. Many good things to wait for..
Quote:
The Watcher talked to “Battlestar Galactica” executive producer Ron Moore. WE talked about “Caprica,” which is a “Battlestar” prequel movie that could become a series.
We also discussed a proposed “Battlestar” TV movie, which, Moore said, won’t air until after the series finale.
First up, here are all the newsy things from the interview with Moore . This bullet list is followed by a transcript of my talk with Moore. Unless otherwise noted, what’s in this list came from Moore.
The proposed “Battlestar Galactica” TV movie would take place during the time frame of previous seasons, but it would air after the series finale.
Howe said the final episodes of “Battlestar” will begin airing in January.
The final set of episodes will be at least 11 hours long, and the series finale will occupy three of those hours. However, there’s a chance that the series finale could expand even more.
The “Battlestar” series finale will definitely expand on DVD. Regardless of the length of the finale that airs on Sci Fi next year, an even longer cut will be released on DVD.
Howe said that if “Caprica” gets a full series order, it will air in 2009. If “Caprica,” which was written by Moore and Remi Aubuchon, does not get a series order and airs as a standalone 2-hour movie, it could air this fall.
Regarding when the network would decide whether to pick “Caprica” as a full series, Howe said the decision would come in September. He and his team are considering two other pilots as well, “Revolution” and “Warehouse 13.” Executives will get a cut of “Caprica” in early August, then decide in September whether it will become a series.
Howe said if “Caprica” does get a series order, it will not be something that is designed to end after 13 episodes. It’ll be a regular series that could potentially go on for years, not a limited-run series.
UPDATE: There will be Webisodes before the second half of Season 4, the network announced on its Web site. Moore mentioned that there would be Webisodes.
By way of context, “Caprica” is set 51 years before the events of “Battlestar Galactica.” According to a March press release from Sci Fi, “'Caprica' follows two rival families – the Greystones and the Adamas – as they grow, compete, and thrive in the vibrant world of the 12 Colonies. Enmeshed in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe.”
Anyway, here’s an edited and slightly condensed version of my July 20 talk with Moore...
