Edward James Olmos directed Cylon movie coming soon

Galactica Sitrep, a blog about Sci-Fi channel's Battlestar Galactica is reporting that when the series ends next year we'll continue to see more Galactica in the form of TV movies - kind of like Stargate SG-1 fans have with Ark of Truth and Continuum (by the way I'm a big fan of Star Gate).

Months before its final 10 episodes begin airing in January, we now know for certain that "Battlestar Galactica" will live on -- in the form of a two-hour special on the Sci Fi Channel to air in 2009 after the series concludes.

...The stand-alone will document the Cylons' attempts -- those of two agents in particular -- to grapple with human survivors, both those aboard ships and those left alive on planets, shortly after the Cylons' destruction of human home worlds.

So it's a flashback, but not all the way back.

So that sounds pretty cool, and apparently it will be directed by Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama) so should be interesting to see how it turns out. I guess if it does well we may see more. Apparently the sales from the last Galactica movie, Razor, did extremely well domestically as well as internationally. Galactica's pretty popular over here in the UK too, so I'm not that suprised it did well.
