Here’s the latest from the Battlestar Galactica universe!
During this week’s TCA tour, Ron Moore sat down with the Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan and discussed the future of Battlestar Galactica and the upcoming Caprica.
SciFi Channel President David Howe confirmed that series four will resume in January and that it will run for 11 episodes.
He also said that a decision on whether or not to take Caprica to series would come in late August or early September after execs see a working edit. Howe also said that if Caprica went to a series, the network was thinking long-term and not a 13-episode limited run series.
If passed over for a series, Caprica could air as early as this fall.
Finally, there will be new webisodes for the fourth season that will air on SciFi’s web-site. No word yet on when they will begin.
- Moore confirmed that the final half of the season will run eleven hours.
- The final three episodes being devoted to the series finale.
- Moore did tease that no matter if the finale runs three or four hours, fans will get an extended cut on the DVD release.
- Moore confirmed that series writer Jane Espenson is penning the two-hour Galactica movie and offered a few hints as to what fans can expect.
- “It’ll be a la “Razor,” it’ll won’t be contemporary to where the fourth season is.
- As for Caprica going to a series, Moore said he is optimistic about the chances.
“I think where Caprica is, there’s a lot of positive momentum for it. They liked the script and they see all the dailies, so I had conversations with them during shooting and after shooting and they were very excited about what they were seeing.” Moore said. ”I talked to [Sci Fi’s] executive vice president of original programming] Mark [Stern], I talked to [NBC Universal head of cable] Bonnie [Hammer], and they were saying, “This looks amazing.” And I’ve seen it cut together and it looks really good. ”
