'BATTLESTAR' REWINDS | | 'Caprica' nabs a pilot, Eric Stoltz to star in fall prequel | | | By the Wizard Staff | | Posted 06/30/08 | |  | |  Fans of the Sci-Fi Channel's "Battlestar: Galactica" that are bemoaning its premature end—it lasted a bright and brilliant four seasons, with the last 10 episodes coming in 2009—have something to look forward to.
The network has green-lit a pilot for "Caprica," a prequel that's set to feature Joseph Adama (Esai Morales), father of Edward James Olmos' William Adama, as he opposes the increasing reliance on cybernetic life forms (or Cylons). The Adamas will find their adversaries in the Graystones, who perpetuate the belief that robots are for the betterment of mankind. (Whoops.)
Described by producers as a "science-fiction family saga," "Caprica's" series potential hinges on the performance of the two-hour pilot episode, which is expected to air sometime in the fall.
Adding some extra star power to the proposed prequel show is Eric Stoltz. The "Pulp Fiction" actor will play Daniel Graystone, a rich computer engineer who, after a tragedy in his family, uses science to forever change the future of Caprica—creating what will become the first truly human-looking Cylons. Reportedly, Alessandra Toressan ("Malcolm in the Middle") will play the inventor's daughter, who is killed and becomes the physical basis for the look of her inventor father's first cybernetic life form. | | | | | | | | |
