Though the Sci-Fi series Battlestar Galactica ended early this year it has lived on through spin-offs. First was Caprica which released as a standalone movie back in April to kick start the series for the network now known as SyFy. Caprica is essentially the origin story which goes back to life on the planet and the creation of the Cylons. Caprica is slated to have its series premiere on January 10th 2010.
Next to come is Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. Every episode of the series began with the mention of the “plan” that the Cylons had. The movie will tell that story from the perspective of the Cylons as it was never completely clear what it specifically was and those developments weren’t seen since show was told from the human side. The original cast returns for the movie and Edward James Olmos also directs.
The Cylons began as humanity’s robot servants. They rebelled and evolved and now they look like us. Their plan is simple: destroy the race that enslaved them. But when their devastating attack leaves human survivors, the Cylons have to improvise. Battlestar Galatica: The Plan tells the story of two powerful Cylon leaders, working separately, and their determination to finish the task.
Battlestar Galactica: The Plan will release on DVD and Blu-ray on October 27th.
