It's officially a go for "Battlestar Galactica" prequel titled "Caprica" which story will take place 50 years before Cylons launch their attack on human civilization in "Galactica" and the first Cylon War begins. Sci Fi Channel will air the new series in 2010, with production being kicked off in the middle of 2009 in Vancouver.

"We want people to come to this who have never heard of 'Battlestar Galactica,'" Sci Fi exec Dave Howe said. "I think, because ('Galactica's') backdrop was space and spaceships, there was a barrier to entry for some viewers. 'Caprica' has none of that. It's an intense family drama set on an Earthlike planet, in the near future, speaking to a lot of the ethical dilemmas that we as a human race are going to have to face very shortly."
