At the San Diego Comic Con, Battlestar Galactica and Caprica series writer Jane Espenson called her script for the Battlestar Galactica continuation film The Plan "a puzzle," because it retells much of the BSG mythology from the Cylon point of view, strictly adhering to the canonical timeline while still telling an entertaining, darkly humorous tale. In a nutshell, said Espenson, we fans can expect The Plan to be about "what happened on the other side of that door after Starbuck walks through." The Plan director Edward James Olmos, meanwhile, said simply, "You will freak out."...
The Plan comes out on DVD Oct. 27, while Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 is the date for Espenson's TV premiere of Caprica. According to Jane, Caprica the series is set before the unification of the Twelve Colonies, so there will be a lot of detail about the sometimes warring cultures of those planets.
Espenson wants all the Buffy fans out there (she use dto write for that show, too) to know that "There’s a little tiny essence of Buffy in this. We’ve got an angry teenage girl and a robot."
