Bryan Singer: Galactica Movie
Hytok
Heat Vision posted a new interview with director Bryan Singer, in which he
talks about his upcoming movie X-Men First Class and his other projects.
Here is an excerpt.
Heat Vision: And what is going on with "Battlestar Galactica" (the
big-screen take on the TV show) and the other projects?
Singer: We just concluded a deal for "Battlestar Galactica," and we're
looking for a writer. And for "Excalibur," we're still in negotiations.
Those are the four directorial projects that I and my company are involved
in.
Heat Vision: So are you still looking for more projects?
Singer: From an event movie development position, it's a healthy slate for
me, it's things that I'm passionate about. But you never know. In between
two big movies, a smaller, more character-driven movie can fit. I'm never
opposed that. "Valkyrie" was supposed to be that, and it turned out to be
bigger than it was intended to be.
The full interview is here.
Plus, Comics Continuum posted the following sinopsis for the upcoming
Caprica episodes airing on SyFy during January 2010 and also posted several
new Caprica promo photos.
Syfy has scheduled two new episodes of Caprica for January, including the
pilot which is available on DVD.
Following is a rundown, with dates, title and descriptions:
Friday, Jan. 22: "Pilot"
On the vibrant world of Caprica, in a culture recognizably close to our
own, two dynamic families -- the Graystones and the Adamas -- live
separately on opposite ends of society until they are brought together by
tragedy.
Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz), a computer engineering genius, owns a large
corporation that is spearheading the development of artificial
intelligence. His unwavering professional pursuits are driven to extreme
measures when personal tragedy strikes him and his wife Amanda (Paula
Malcomson): their strong-willed daughter Zoe (Alessandra Torresani) dies in
a terrorist bombing fueled by an underground religious dogma. Unbeknownst
to her parents, the teenager had also been dabbling in these radical
teachings, which were secretly propagated by her school's headmistress,
Sister Clarice Willow (Polly Walker).
Also living on Caprica but deeply entrenched in a cultural heritage that
sets them apart from the rest of civilization, is the Adama clan. The
family is helmed by Joseph Adama, a renowned criminal defense attorney �
with questionable ties and sometimes-devious methods � and father to
William (Sina Najafi) and Tamara (Genevieve Beuchner). When Joseph's wife
and daughter perish in the same attack that befell Zoe Graystone, Joseph's
path soon crosses Daniel's, and the two become united in their grief.
Soon after, Daniel lets Joseph in on a sinister secret: he's discovered
that Zoe, a computer genius in her own right, had been experimenting with
perilous virtual reality technology along with her friend Lacy (Magda
Apanowicz), and managed the impossible: she created a life-like avatar of
herself, a perfect digital copy. Obsessed with the possibility of seeing
his daughter once again, and preying on Joseph's shared emotions, Daniel
implores his new confidante to help him make Zoe's vision a complete
reality. Appalled by the ethical implications of recreating a soul, but
aching to bring his own daughter back to life, Joseph complies...and the
fate of the human race is altered forever.
Friday, Jan. 29: "Rebirth"
Zoe (Alessandra Torresani) struggles with being trapped in the robot while
grief and pressure mount on the Adamas and the Graystones. Joseph (Esai
Morales) makes a decision that drives him to confront Daniel (Eric Stoltz),
and Amanda (Paula Malcomson) makes a shocking public confession.

Ehm, guarda che quel film e' un altro reboot, piu' aderente alla versione
classica :)

Non credo: alla serie "battlestar galactica" non mi pare ci possa
essere nulla da aggiungere, un film temo diventerebbe solo
un'operazione commerciale, slegata a ci� che era (ed � stata, con un
grosso punto alla fine, piaciuto o meno che sia stato) la serie..
Come poi, ad esempio, lo � (operazione commerciale intendo) caprica.

Infatti il film sara' un altro reboot molto piu' simile alla serie
originaria e "starwarsiano". Operazione megacommerciale, altroche' :)

Tra l'altro non ci sarebbe proprio spazio per fare un film dal BSG di
Moore, visto il finale.
