Is the movie the 2 hour special they are talking about? That's how razor was right? Or was it longer?

I don't think so, the 2-hour special seems like the conclusion of the series.Originally Posted by Jessper
I think there was mention of more than one movie being planned taking place in the BSG universe, so it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be sequels as I previously alluded to.
Right, might be an opener to the spinoff series, I can't wait either way!
Well, looks like I might've been wrong about the special... I guess it was all hopeful thinking. Here are more details:
http://www.tv.com/story/11537.html?o...dlines;title;1Sci Fi releases first details of stand-alone two-hour movie that will be premiere after the series concludes.
While all Battlestar Galactica fans knew another stand-alone movie was coming down the pipeline, nothing was ever made official. Well, now it is.
Sci Fi Channel today announced "an all-new Battlestar Galactica special event" (fancy talk for telemovie) that's set to air in 2009 after the fourth and final season of BSG concludes. Like Razor, a previous Battlestar movie, it will be released on DVD shortly after it airs.
The two-hour flick will be written by Jane Espenson and directed by actor Edward James Olmos, who plays Bill Adama. However, Olmos may only be behind the camera; currently the only cast members announced for the film are Michael Trucco (Sam Anders), Aaron Douglas (Chief Galen Tyrol), and Dean Stockwell (Brother Cavil).
The "event" will take place just before the events of the miniseries that started everything off. According to Sci-Fi, the unnamed movie will show the aftermath of the destruction of Caprica and concentrate on two Cylon agents trying to clean up the mess after human spaceships manage to escape.
The Chicago Tribune asked Sci Fi head of original programming Mark Stern about the possibilities of more cast members joining the project, and naturally, it all comes down to money.
"The cast are lovely," Stern told the paper. "That's not to say we're not getting phone calls from their agents saying, 'They're huge now.' And we're respectful of that. We're not expecting anyone to do it because they owe us. There are actors that have come to some prominence; they're helping us out because they want to do it."
No Six? No Starbuck? No Sharon? No Adama? No worries--it's Battlestar...it will still be brilliant. Agree?
Well some more news for those interested... It looks like the second half of the season will start on January, instead of April as it has been speculated around the internet. And some casting news for the movie:
http://community.tvguide.com/blog-en...ovie/800046229Battlestar Movie Casting News
The two-hour Battlestar Galactica movie that fans have been salivating over begins shooting Monday in Vancouver.
The Sci Fi Channel told TVGuide.com about which favorite humans and toasters — er — Cylons would be featured in the yet-to-be titled movie. The network confirmed that, as of today, Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama), Michael Trucco (Sam Anders), Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol) and Dean Stockwell (Brother Cavil) Tricia Helfer (Caprica/No. 6), Grace Park (Boomer/Athena), Callum Keith Rennie (Leoben), Rick Worthy (Simon) and that surly Michael Hogan (Tigh) would appear in the project.
Battlestar series scribe and co-executive producer Jane Espenson wrote the script, and Olmos will be directing the story — which as fans can tell from this cast list — is Cylon-centric.
As for rumors floating around the Web that the final season of Battlestar was being pushed to April 2009, take a deep breath and let it out, because it's not true. That's right, everyone will be watching how the Cylons and humans will recover after discovering Earth was a pile of radioactive wasteland in January of 2009.

so new bsg's starting this friday. you guys excited?
no way, this friday? friggin awesome
Wow, didnt realize it was so soon.
im trying to rewatch all of BSG before watching the final 10 eps. its been so long, and with all the stupid breaks its easy to forget stuff.
what the frack, it airs today? awesome :P
The Fifth revealed. And a cornerstone char dies. Definitly not a Sunrise show
I think Dee's death was done very well. Even though it was heavily foreshadowed, it was like...perfect. And the rest of the episode was also great. And Ellen Tigh...wow! I can't wait to see what happens when she and Saul meet again. I mean, I wonder if she knows that he had her killed. And where is she, anyway? (I'm guessing Cavil might have an idea). More questions than answers, but an otherwise excellent episode.
P.S. And Kara finding her dead body...what the hell? That was so creepy, and Leoben's reaction was incredible.

Just watched last week's episode... I'm still not convinced that Ellen is the final Cylon, that X factor with Kara is still there. Well Kara has to be since Tigh has always been delusional. Good episode overall, but I think it was a bit on the slow side. Hopefully tonight's episode will have more excitement on it.

I think RDM confirmed that Ellen is indeed the 5th Cylon. The thing is, nobody knows what Kara is exactly (not even Kara). But Ellen Tigh is the last Cylon:http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune....alla-dee-.html

Oh man this is getting pretty fuckin' sweet now, latest ep(s4e13) was damn good.
Yep, I loved the last episode. Action packed. I also liked Gayda's expression when Baltar called him. Adama was awesome in this episode, quite kickass.

I used to only half-like this show the first 3 seasons, too little action, too much drama.
Then the first half of the 4th season it got better but now, man... this is pretty damn awesome.

I hoped the coup would work. While getting to Earth was a worthy goal, and required Cylon help, in the end, the presidency and military failed their people. The president stopped doing her job in a time of crisis. Bill Adama was guilty of those charges.
