Ronald D. Moore Says Caprica Will Be Character Drama

Features

By GustavoLeao / 07:56, 3 June 2006 / General Genre/SciFi

The latest issue of SFX Magazine, just out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with Battlestar Galactica producer Ronald D. Moore, in which he talks for the first time about Caprica, the upcoming Galactica spin-off prequel series. Here are a few excerpts.

"It's a different kind of show. More of a drama." he said "It’s corporate intrigue and interfamily politics...there are rival companies that are trying to develop the same technology. The government plays a role in trying to sort of get certain military aspects of the technology in place. It’s all coloured by the fact that we know none of this is going to come to a good end. This is a doomsday scenario that we know is leading to something really, really bad, that you’re watching unfold before your eyes."

"...the interesting thing is that in this stage in Caprican history, they’re more advanced than the people we see on Galactica, because part of the mythos of the show is that it was a result of the Cylon War that made the [citizens of the Colonies] take a large step back from the technology they had developed. So [despite the fact that the show takes place 50 years before Battlestar Galactica], the society in Caprica will look more modern that Galactica's."

"[The show] will take place in a SF Universe where space travel is quite common and where the technology is such that houses clean themselves. It’s a futuristic society on the verge of a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence...it's not an action-adventure show and it wasn’t set up to become one. We’re dedicated to making it a character drama."

More from Moore, including spoilers for the third season of Galactica, can be found at The Great Link.
