Yesterday, we had a preview of tonight’s all-new Caprica episode entitled ‘Gravedancing.’ And now, thanks to the folks at Syfy, we’ve got even more to share with you today.
In this new clips, we get more info on Adama’s plans for Greystone’s wife, how his brother fits into those plans, and what Greystone will do if his wife gets hurt. We also get to know a talk show host who may end up saving the Greystone name, but probably won’t do it just because he’s a nice guy.
We also get more bits on potential guest stars for this week’s episode and for future episodes as well. Plus, as a bonus, a couple promos for the show featuring even more tidbits to hopefully build your excitement for future episodes. In short, there’s a for you to check out.
The videos are after the break. Caprica airs tonight at 9/8C on Syfy.
As you may know, we’re big fans of anything Battlestar Galactica related here at The Flickcast. We loved the original show, follow the cast and report on their appearances in new shows and, of course, we are also fans of Caprica and watch each new episode with great interest every Friday.
After a week off, the show returns tomorrow night with a brand new episode entitled “Gravedancing” and we’ve got a preview of the episode and some other behind-the-scenes videos to share with you today. In the preview, we get a look at Adama’s plan for Greystone’s wife and the potential consiquences of his actions. We also get a glimpse of some new characters that may be making an appeance on the show.
In addition to the promo video, we’ve also got two video blogs featuring the cast and creators of the show. Good stuff.
Check out all three videos after the jump. Caprica airs Fridays at 9/8C on Syfy.
With the second episode airing last Friday on SyFy, things have been picking up quite a lot for the first season of Caprica, the prequel spin off of Battlestar Galactica. Many of us remember the events that took place in the pilot, which hit DVD shelves back in April, and now things are underway for a whole season of action, drama and cylons.
One star in particular has been stirring up some buzz on the web, as Alessandra Torresani’s provocative photo shoot has been circulating around. We got the chance to sit down with star Alessandra, who plays “Zoe”, at New York’s Big Apple Convention. We spoke about her role on the show, how much more we’ll get to see of “Zoe”, and what Alessandra’s plans are now that she’s been introduced to the world of science fiction.
Check out our exclusive interview after the jump, and be sure to catch Alessandra and the rest of the Caprica on SyFy, every Friday night.
Over at the blog run by the network formerly known as Sci-Fi, they have a new trailer for the upcoming series Caprica featuring a glimpse, albeit a brief one, of James Marsters in character as terrorist leader Barnabus Greeley. Not sure I’m in love with that name yet, sorry Jane.
Anyway, this is one of those situations where if you blink, look away or sneeze, you will miss Marsters’ appearance. Still, its kinda cool to seem him and know that the premiere of Caprica is only a short two months (or so) away. Plus, his “Someone’s dying today” line is also pretty darn cool. Also, there’s some other stuff in the trailer that’s worth watching so do, please, watch it — after the ever-present jump of course.
Caprica, featuring the cool James Marsters as well as Eric Stolz, Esai Morales, Sasha Roiz, Polly Walker and Paula Malcomson, premieres on the SyFy network on January 22nd of next year.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, following his recent role in Dollhouse and the feature Big Fan, comedian Patton Oswalt is now joining the cast of Syfy’s upcoming drama series Caprica as a recurring character. According to the article, on the Battlestar Galactica prequel, Oswalt “will play Baxter Sarno, a popular Caprican comedian and talk show host on whose show Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and Amanda Graystone (Paula Malcomson), ultimately appear.”
As this character was not in the original two hour pilot, obviously as the show is currently filming in Vancouver, the producers felt they needed some sort of recurring character like this to provide some overall context to events unfolding after the first Cylon has taken its first steps. Oswalt is a pretty good choice for this type of role where his humor and somewhat abrasive style can take center stage and provide that context and commentary. Should be interesting to see what he makes of the role.
Oswalt joins a cast which already includes the aforementioned Eric Stoltz and Paula Malcomson and also includes Esai Morales, Sasha Roiz, Polly Walker and the recently announced Luciana Carro. Caprica debuts on SyFy on January 22, 2010.
The network formerly known as the Sci-Fi Channel has now “officially” set the date for the first episode of Caprica to premiere on that network. According to the network that we shall now refer to as Syfy, that date is Jan. 22 and as we are big fans of the show around here, we could not be more enthusiastic.
However, in case you’re not quite as big a fan of the show as we are, here’s a little info by way of backstory. Caprica is a prequel to the award-winning Battlestar Galactica, which just concluded its fourth and final season on March 20. The Caprica storyline predates BSG by 58 years and leads up through the creation of the Cylons, the war and the near annihilation of the human race.
The two hour pilot, which was written by Ronald Moore and Remi Aubuchon and directed by Jeffrey Reiner, was completed last year, already aired on the network and has dropped on DVD. Syfy has ordered an additional 20 hours in addition to the pilot but its not known at the moment if they will split the order into two seasons.
Production on brand new episodes began July 15 in Vancouver. Caprica, which features Esai Morales, Eric Stoltz, Paula Malcomson and Polly Walker and is exec. produced by Ron Moore, David Eick and Jane Espenson, will air at 10/9C on Friday nights.
We open on a group of sixteen year-olds wandering through a marble, sex covered, blood stained club. These three teenagers watch as a girl their age is sacrificed. One locks eyes with another girl close to the sacrificial altar. The girl close to the altar feels the glare and looks up to see an exact copy of herself staring her down. They are Zoe Graystone, one is alive and the other is a virtual representation.
Caprica the pilot is a clean, tight and intriguing episode set fifty-eight years before Battlestar Galactica and follows the Adama and Graystone families. There is a Philip K. Dick quality to this pilot with 1930s style, flying cars and monorails. It is a tight noir that explores the question: if you could have a loved one back from the dead, would you do whatever it took to make it happen?
Boiled down, that is what this entire show is about, including the creation of the Cylons by Dr. Graystone (Eric Stoltz). It also explores how Cylons may have become sentient humanoids. “Skin jobs” as they were called in the original series, and it may have something to do with the virtual representation of Zoe Graystone played with Blake Lively-like attitude by Alessandra Torresani. It is with Zoe and her friends that you can tell former Buffy: the Vampire Slayer writer Jane Espenson is really having fun. Co-written by Ryan Mottesheard*, the writers also pose a possible solution to how the Cylons believe in one God.
I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, but it is quite literally the Graystone’s legacy in both of these aspects, and the possible answer to the question: “how did we get to the first episode of Battlestar Galactica?” That is essentially the premise of the entire show and is literally what the entirety of this 93-minute premiere is beholden to, that you liked BSG enough to find out where it all started. With characters that were at best merely a spectre in BSG (as in Joe Adama played by Esai Morales) and at worst never even mentioned (as in Stoltz’s Graystone).
At The Flickcast, we’re big fans of Battlestar Galactica (or BSG as we like to call it). Sadly, the show has run its course on Sci-Fi Channel and now all we have to look forward to is its eventual release on BluRay so we can watch it all over again. Fortunately, the folks at Sci-Fi feel our pain, and that of millions of other BSG fans, and have decided to give us a new show to watch: the BSG “prequel” series Caprica.
Sadly, the actual series, which stars Eric Stoltz and Esai Morales, takes place 58 years before BSG and tells the tale of two rival families and the creation of the first Cylon, doesn’t begin showing until next year — which is too bad.
However, we’ve got your back here at The Flickcast. So, to help pass the time until Caprica debuts and in honor of the two-hour pilot movie being released on DVD today, here’s another look at the “Official” promo for the series for you to enjoy. Watch this.
