The two-hour Battlestar Galactica movie that fans have been salivating over begins shooting Monday in Vancouver.

The Sci Fi Channel told TVGuide.com about which favorite humans and toasters - er - Cylons would be featured in the yet-to-be titled movie. The network confirmed that, as of today, Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama), Michael Trucco (Sam Anders), Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol) and Dean Stockwell (Brother Cavil) Tricia Helfer (Caprica/No. 6), Grace Park (Boomer/Athena), Callum Keith Rennie (Leoben), Rick Worthy (Simon) and that surly Michael Hogan (Tigh) would appear in the project.

Battlestar series scribe and co-executive producer Jane Espenson wrote the script, and Olmos will be directing the story - which as fans can tell from this cast list - is Cylon-centric.

As for rumors floating around the Web that the final season of Battlestar was being pushed to April 2009, take a deep breath and let it out, because it's not true. That's right, everyone will be watching how the Cylons and humans will recover after discovering Earth was a pile of radioactive wasteland in January of 2009.
