  • Caprica: The Battlestar Galactica Prequel Explained | Today's News: Our Take | 7/21/2008
    "The end of humanity has a beginning."So goes the not-so-cheery tagline for Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel. The two-hour TV movie about the pre-apocalypse may or may not be a backdoor pilot to a new series, according to Sci Fi Channel's president, Dave Howe.Caprica stars Esai Morales as Joseph Adama (father of BSG's Admiral William Adama) and Eric Stoltz as Daniel Graystone, who meet when their daughters are killed in the same terrorist bombing. The trouble/fun starts when Graystone, who is an entrepreneurial inventor (a la Bill Gates) decides to bring back the dead girls as robots. Paula Malcomson (Deadwood) has joined the cast as Stoltz's successful surgeon wife, and Polly Walker (Rome) plays the headmistress of a school that secretly teaches monotheism.

Moore. "The look is nostalgic, almost 1950s, with the men in hats, ties and stylish suits. It's not about hardware and space battles."Caprica stars Eric Stoltz as Daniel Graystone, a Bill Gates–like entrepreneur and inventor, and Esai Morales as immigrant lawyer Joseph Adama (the father of BSG's William), who hails from the other-side-of-the-tracks planet Tauron. "They're brought together by mutual grief when their daughters are killed in a terrorist bombing," Aubuchon says.

  • Caprica Casts Polly Walker as One Twisted Sister | Today's News: Our Take | 5/19/2008
    Red Flag No. 74 that Cane is toast. Polly Walker, who in addition to a run on HBO's Rome appeared on CBS' ill-fated drama series, is the latest to join the cast of Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica prequel. On Caprica, which will premiere as a two-hour movie/backdoor series pilot, Walker will play Sister Clarice Willow, an eloquent (if duplicitous) high priestess and headmistress of a private religious school. — MWM read more be the first to leave a comment
