SCI FI has signed director Michael Rymer (Queen of the Damned) and the stars Edward James Olmos (Stand and Deliver Oscar nominee, Miami Vice Golden Globe winner), Mary McDonnell (two-time Oscar nominee for Passion Fish and Dances with Wolves), Jamie Bamber (HBO's Band of Brothers) and Katee Sackhoff (Halloween: Resurrection) for the new four-hour original miniseries Battlestar Galactica. Production began in Vancouver in March. Battlestar Galactica will air exclusively on SCI FI in late 2003.
The beloved Battlestar gets a modern twist when SCI FI re-imagines the groundbreaking series in which "a ragtag fugitive fleet" of the last remnants of humanity searches for its true home. Fleeing the mechanoid Cylon race responsible for the slaughter of their human colonies, the Battlestar Galactica survivors must meet a new set of challenges in order to escape pursuers hellbent on human extinction. This intriguing take on a classic creates an epic miniseries with action, adventure and family drama.
