Battlestar's Olmos reveals why The Plan will leave you gasping

Edward James Olmos, who directed the upcoming DVD movie Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, told an audience of fans that the film will deliver exactly what they expect it to: The Plan shows the Cylons' perspective on their attempted genocide of humanity.

"I gotta tell you, not to give anything away, it is exactly what you think it is," Olmos said in a panel discussion Thursday night in Hollywood as part of the Los Angeles Times series The Envelope. "You see the complete opposite of the first 281 days of what we went through, ... seen through the eyes of the Cylons, and it is breathtaking. It's fantastic. It's not fun, but I will say that you will sit there [gasping]."

Perhaps The Plan will also drive sales of BSG complete-season DVDs. "Basically, you will go back to see the series again," Olmos said. "I couldn't have imagined this kind of a situation happening at the end of a show, where you would actually start at the beginning. That's a masterful piece of understanding, Ron [Moore]. Genius. Because after you see The Plan, you'll want to go back and view the whole series again."

The DVD release of The Plan will feature more than 30 minutes of additional Cylon perspective than will air in the version that will air on SCI FI. "The Plan is 2 hours and 6 minutes long the way you're going to have it on the DVD. When you see it aired, it's going to be 88 minutes."

Olmos gave credit to writer Jane Espenson, who wrote the entire script, and his lead actor. "I have to tell you right now, Dean Stockwell is a brilliant artist," Olmos said. "He does a magnificent job of leading The Plan. The Plan is exactly that. It was how they planned to do what they did and what happened. It was monumental. All I can tell you is it's an extraordinary look at the Cylons, how they masterminded what they did."

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is due in September. (Syfy)

‘Battlestar Galactica’ Actor Richard Hatch Explains How A Movie Version Could Work

"Just as remaking the original “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” film without consulting series mastermind Joss Whedon is nothing short of a Hollywood faux pas, it seems equally unthinkable to forge a big-screen “Battlestar Galactica” adventure without Ron Moore, creator of the recently finished television series. This may be a fairly common sentiment among fans of Moore’s politically-minded take on the classic science fiction franchise, but it appears that not every “Galactica” vet shares that feeling — so long as the film version is done right.

Richard Hatch, who played fighter pilot Apollo in the original ’70s-era “Galactica” series and then terrorist-turned-politician-turned-terrorist Tom Zarek in the latest incarnation, tells Moviehole that he’d be keen to see Universal Studios’ announced “Battlestar Galactica” film if it took a cue from the recent “Star Trek” revival.

“I think [universal] saw the success Paramount had with their ‘Star Trek’ reboot. But unlike Paramount, who seems to know the ‘Star Trek’ audience, I don’t think Universal ever quite got ‘Battlestar,’” said Hatch. “[With 'Trek'], it was still the character we love, but they went back twenty, thirty years to when they were just kids. But with ‘Battlestar,’ they’re just going to go back to the same timeframe we saw in the series and recast those roles.”

Hatch also acknowledged that the fruition of this planned “Battlestar” adaptation is likely to be painful for Ron Moore, saying: “I’m sure [he] would love to do a film version of the new series.”

Of course, there is more of Moore’s “Battlestar Galactica” on the flight deck. The Edward James Olmos-directed telemovie “The Plan” will serve as a postscript to the show. There’s also the prequel series called “Caprica,” for which the pilot has already aired, focusing on the early creation of the Cylons. “Caprica” will launch on the Sci-Fi SyFy Network (*cough*) this fall. Hatch says that if the fans want more, they’ll certainly get more.

“It’s never the end if fans want more,” he said. “It’s a money game. If they realize people want more, believe me, they’ll make more of them — they did it with ‘Babylon 5′ and a number of other sci-fi shows. ‘Battlestar’ is not done yet, it’s just a question of how and when it’ll come back.”

Given the very definitive ending of the latest, much-beloved “Battlestar Galactica” series, it’s almost sacrilegious to imagine a follow-up to that story. What could be cool, however, is a series of movies — or even a brand new serialized TV show — focusing on the early days of Admiral William Adama and Colonel Saul Tigh during the first Cylon War. Heck, a big screen adaptation of that story could be frakkin’ sweet."

Personally, I like the new series, but I say let it go already. Now Terminator the Sarah Conner Chronicles needs to continue. Although it might not be a perfect show it appeared to open up possibilities. Switching back to BSG, the series should not have ended with just four seasons and should have continued past the finding "Earth". The original series tried to do with that story, "finding Earth" and all. BSG could have continued the battle developing two factions, the Cylons who embrace peace with humans and the rouge who do not. anyway. let BSG go already.

^ Rappy, who's the red head in the sig? She's nice looking.

I'm excited.

Weird thing is, I skipped over the miniseries. So I am actually going to watch that, then Razor, then The Plan. Weird, eh? :p

You should of watched the miniseries because the first episode after the pilot is a direct continuation of the miniseries.

you don't think I know that? That's why I was confused for the first 4-5 episodes on a lot of stuff. Like why Sharon was in two places at once.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      The concern of this article is not getting "hacked". No one is taking over my Google account and anyone that was is far away from self-hosting their passwords. It was about your big tech account of choice deciding to reduce features or getting out of the password manager business altogether. Bitwarden (or say Proton) is professional security company offering opensource solutions. They are going no where and one can easily download or export their passwords to another password manager service regardless. They again also offer self-hosted option. I doubt many people were sold on this solution based on the write up. The author had a number of warnings and caveats themselves. A local, self-managed solution is not for 99% of users.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
