SCI FI PI

Comicmix.com has reported on the latest from the Battlestar Galactica factory - it seems that shooting has already begun on the latest BSG stand-alone film.

"Battlestar Galactica fans will rejoice when shooting begins on Monday on Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, a new story written by Jane Espenson. Like last year’s Razor telefilm, it will fill in a continuity gap using the regular cast. The film is expected to air after the final mini-season of BG airs in the first quarter of 2009 on (the US) Sci-Fi Channel.

According to The Chicago Tribune, the movie will feature Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama), Michael Trucco (Sam Anders), Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol) and Dean Stockwell (Brother Cavil), Tricia Helfer (No. 6), Grace Park (Boomer/Athena), Rick Worthy (Simon), Matthew Bennett (Doral) and Callum Keith Rennie (Leoben).


While an actual air date has yet to be released, Sci-Fi has debunked rumors that the January debut was being delayed to April or beyond. "

This all sounds good and of course, the more BSG the better.
