NEW YORK -- April 26, 2006 -- SCI FI Channel's Mark Stern, EVP, Original
Programming, announced today an aggressive slate of original scripted
dramas, miniseries, alternative reality and late night series for the
Channel. Already established as an industry leader with highly acclaimed
and award-winning shows such as 'Battlestar Galactica,' SCI FI Channel's
latest slate of high profile projects showcases top industry luminaries
and offers imaginative, broad appeal entertainment.
Scripted Series
'CAPRICA'
From executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick ('Battlestar
Galactica'), writer Remi Aubuchon ('24') and NBC Universal Television
Studio, this new series is set over a half a century before the events
that play out in 'Battlestar Galactica.' The people of the Twelve
Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but
where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for
the better. But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur,
one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial
intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot - a
Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the
Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the
commander of the 'Battlestar Galactica') 'Caprica' weaves corporate
intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first
science fiction family saga.
Sci Fi Channel has announced its plans for Caprica, a Battlestar Galactica spin-off set 50 years prior to its original series. Battlestar's Ronald D. Moore and David Eick will executive-produce the new venture, and Remi Aubochon (24) is penning the script, Variety reports.
