According to Grace Park, the first BSG movie of the next projected triptych, penned by Weddle and Thompson, and directed by Edward James Olmos,
starts shooting in August.
(...Assuming the whole SAG-strikeage donnybrook doesn't go down, obviously.)
Galactica Sitrep
is reporting that the film will focus upon "three core characters" (possibly Cylons), and that offers are currently on the table for the actors in question.
Quote:
If a movie does come into being, the first one will be penned by Weddle and Thompson, who also [wrote] the mid-season premiere ["Sometimes A Great Notion"] that airs in early 2009.
"It would go back into history to tell part of the story that has never been told," Weddle said [of the telemovie]. "We have very definite ideas of what that story would be. I think it will be very cool and fans will really like it. It won't add any new chapters, but it will enrich their sense of depth and texture."

Will any of the potential next three movies give us more Young Billy A. during the First Cylon War kicking Toaster ass, with a toupée-ed Saul Tigh lurking somewhere in the background? The problem with this scenario might lie in the nature of
Caprica's so-called "limited run" status, which could then hypothetically segue way into a full-on "First Cylon War" weekly series of some type.
Oh...and it turns out that
Billy Keikaya damn near came back from the dead in "The Hub."
