Ronald D. Moore Says New Galactica Spin-Off is in Early Stages and It Won't Necessarily Be for TV or a Theatrical Release

Sci Fi Wire posted a new interview with Battlestar Galactica and Caprica producer Ronald D. Moore and here are excerpts.

Regarding a second season of Caprica, Moore said "It's an expensive show for Syfy, for a basic cable show, and the ratings are not gangbusters, but the ratings have been ticking up and we're building momentum. It's been critically well received, so there's a good buzz on the show. It adds a lot of prestige to the network, but the network also has its own business people that have to figure out a cost analysis on it. I feel like we're gonna get it. I always felt like we were gonna get it on Battlestar. We'll just have wait and see."

As for that other potential BSG spin-off, Moore insisted it was "really nothing yet." Syfy approached him and producing partner David Eick, and it's still early stages. "[They] said, 'We have this concept for a format in which to do a show. Would you be interested?'" Moore recalled. "We kind of said, 'Yeah, that's interesting. What would it be?' And we had some conversations about what the parameters of the show would be. We're really at the very beginning of that whole process, so there's really nothing definitive yet, but we are sort of talking back and forth about what it might be. It'd be in this [BSG/Caprica] universe."


Whatever it is, Moore added, it won't necessarily be for TV or, for that matter, a theatrical release. "It's potentially something that may be not TV, or not TV exclusively," he said. "It's very fluid."

The full interview is here.

From Ron Moore's comments it's pretty clear they are talking aabout a direct to DVD mini-series, or series of DTV movies like the Plan. I think they intend to continue the storyline where 4.5 left off, and where it left off totally sucked. The only way to continue the series is that the crew that settled on earth are the founders of ancient Atlantis. Chris Lindsay www.cryjustice.com

The central question that emerges . . . is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not prevail numerically? The sobering answer is Yes – the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race. -- the eminent conservative rag, National Review

if its expensive | Report this post to moderator

Why don't they go back to 13 shows a season with a little more time between seasons? 20 shows seems like a lot and with some of the BSG you can see they had some filler episodes that could have been axed for a more tight storyline that was a bit more involving and got things done at a quicker more fluid clip. Season 1 of BSG which only had 13 episodes, was fantastic. Season 2 wasn't too bad, but 3 and 4 definitely had some filler episodes we could have done without. I really think the 13 episode format forces the writers to put their very best stuff on screen. I believe HBO does that with most of its shows and it doesn't hurt them; although it did end up with 2 of the most expensive shows ever shot (I believe both Deadwood and Rome both cost about $4 - $6 million an episode).
