Thread: Caprica -- *** Series Cancelled ***

SCI FI Channel has given a green light for production to begin on Caprica, a two-hour backdoor pilot and Battlestar Galactica prequel from executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Production is slated to begin in Vancouver, Canada, this spring.



Set 50 years before the events of Battlestar Galactica, 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.

"I'm thrilled with the chance to expand on the Galactica world and get deeper into the origins of the story we've been telling," Moore said in a statement. "It's also great to have a chance at doing a completely different kind of science fiction series, one that's even more character-oriented and doesn't rely on pyrotechnics to carry the story."

In his own statement, Eick said: "While Caprica will have its own personality, it will carry on Battlestar's commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre, and we're thrilled that SCI FI has seen fit to giving us another opportunity to tell character-driven stories in challenging ways."

The fourth season of Battlestar Galactica kicks off on March 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT with two back-to-back half-hour specials, with the first new episode premiering the following week, April 4, at 10 p.m.

Sounds good to me!

The taste we got of the old school centurions in the new series makes me really look forward to this.

Wish they could make it last another season or two, but then again, we get a no holds barred conclusion this season, which turned out awesome for Jericho.... seat of your pants stuff. Can't get enough.

The new Graystone family patriarch not only is an actor with an extensive list of credits, but also has been known to take the director's chair from time to time. Eric Stoltz will play Daniel Graystone, who is said to be the actual creator of the Cylons in the new SciFi Channel backdoor pilot "Caprica."
