The end is not the end

Good news for Battlestar Galactica fans -- the Los Angeles Times is reporting that another standalone BSG movie is in the works on Sci Fi, to be aired after the series ends its run in early 2009. The two-hour feature will be more or less a flashback -- a la Razor -- from the Cylons' point of view following their catastrophic attacks on the human home planets.

Michael Trucco (Anders), Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol) and Dean Stockwell (Cavil) are already signed up, and Edward James Olmos will direct the feature. Anders' storyline could be terrific -- the episodes from Season 1 hinting at the resistance on Caprica left open a million questions that could be flushed out.

This comes in addition to Sci Fi's upcoming series Caprica, a family drama that takes place about 50 years before the Cylon attack. Eric Stoltz stars in that, set to hit the air in late 2008 or early 2009 (based on Sci Fi's track record, bet on mid-2009). A trailer for Caprica has been released, but I've gotta say, it doesn't do much for me.
