It’s official. “Battlestar Galactica” will live on when the series finishes it’s run early next year.
Well, at least for two more hours.
SciFi Channel confirmed yesterday that the long-discussed two-hour “Battlestar Galactica” movie has been picked up and will air sometime after the series finale. The movie will be simliar to last year’s “Razor” and be a flashback, taking place during the series run.
As previously reported, we can now confirm that series writer Jane Espenson is writing the script and that actor Edward James Olmos will direct. For the first time, we have some new details on what the film will be about. According to the Los Angeles Times, the movie will document the Cylons’ attempts — those of two agents in particular — to grapple with human survivors, both those aboard ships and those left alive on planets, shortly after the Cylons’ destruction of human home worlds.
Confirmed for the cast are Michael Trucco, Dean Stockwell and Aaron Douglas. Filming is set to begin immediately in Vancouver.
