A frakload of updates today. Let's start in Caprica City.
If you find yourself in Vancouver on Saturday, July 23, you can meet up with fellow BSG & Caprica fans for a guided tour of Kobol. For details, go to The 13th Colony blog.
CNN has a really great article about Ron Moore this week which is mainly about 17th Precinct, but pretty much covers most of his career. Here are a couple of quotes from David Eick and Jane Espenson:
"Ron is the scariest writer I know" his former producing partner recalls.
"I'm not sure there's anything he can't do remarkably well. Even within the context of 'Battlestar,' there was such a wild panoply of styles and emotions -- action, tragedy, melodrama, comedy, philosophy, even music -- all of which I watched him nail."
"But he's also weirdly unpretentious," Eick said. "We'd argue about whether something worked, but never...

There is no commitment yet, and really not very many pitches. But former "Stargate: Universe" visual effects supervisor Mark Savela says he has a television show concept in mind that will shake up the genre community. "Echoes" is set on Earth, one ravaged not by humans, but by a pair of warring aliens who decided that Earth was a neutral battlefield. It's basically a story of humans picking up the pieces, a mess they didn't even create. "I'm interested in seeing the journey that someone goes on to become a Sarah Connor or a Ripley," Savela recently told The Morton Report. "You want a character that an audience can identify with and root for, a little bit like an underdog and someone who the viewers can throw their support behind." For "Echoes," that character is Sonya, played in ...

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of visiting the set of the filming of the pilot presentation for Echoes (a working title). This pilot presentation is comprised of several momentous, and strongly contrasting, scenes from a full pilot script written by Ken Kabatoff and Mark Savela. Today, the picture on the presentation was locked, which means the editing is finished and the rest of the post production process – VFX, sound mixing, color correct – will begin.[...]...

Several members of the Stargate Universe crew have reunited to work on a new pilot. Redeye reports that visual efforts supervisor Mark Savela and production assistant Ken Kabatoff have recruited "about 80%" of the show's production team for new project Echoes. "Everybody just loved working together [on Sgu] so much and nobody wanted it to end," explained Savela. "When we came up with this project, people said, 'Oh, we all get to work together again? That's really cool'." A presentation piece to promote a pilot, Echoes will focus on a band of humans struggling to survive on an Earth that has been decimated by a war between two alien races. "It's [usually] always the aliens attacking the humans," said Kabatoff. "Having aliens against another alien race basically leaves the humans (more)...

Chicago – Some franchises are best left undiscovered. “Stargate” originally began as a terrible 1994 film from B-movie maestro Roland Emmerich. It took a potentially interesting premise, and used it as an excuse for a lot of uninspired sci-fi warfare. The film, bad as it was, inexplicably spawned two long-running TV shows: “Stargate Sg-1” and “Stargate: Atlantis.”
Fearing that their franchise had become outdated, producers Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper set their sights on creating a dark, edgy show more apt to connect with modern audiences. Thus, we have “Sg-u Stargate Universe” or as I like to call it, “Stargate: The J.J. Abrams Rip-Off.” It does a great job of being like everything else on television, without ever developing a compelling vision of its own. The show is sure to disappoint longtime “Stargate” fans, while failing to interest viewers who have no idea what “dialing the ninth Chevron” means.

Don't expect to see the Wraith, the Asgard or any other humanoid aliens from Stargate Sg-1 or Stargate Atlantis turning up in the new Stargate series, Sgu: Stargate Universe. Brad Wright, the executive producer and co-creator of Syfy's new show, told Canada.com that the extraterrestrials in the show won't look just like humans hiding behind latex masks.
"One thing we decided, in our pursuit of realism, was to step away from rubber-faced, English-speaking aliens, and you will see none of those in the new show," Wright said. "We will run into aliens. They're just not going to be human, latex-faced, English-speaking aliens."
The show will also have less "techno-babble" and put more emphasis on the characters than the two series that preceded it, according to Wright.

With so much fuss being made about J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot, it's easy to forget that there is another successful franchise out there with Star... in the title. That would be Stargate, which is due for its own sort of makeover later this year with the premiere of Stargate Universe. This is no sign that the concept is struggling, though. Indeed, the slew of awards that Stargate productions won at the recent Leo Awards in Vancouver, British Columbia (the home base of CinemaSpy) shows that it continues to be admired.
The Leo Awards are presented by the Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Foundation of B.C.. They were established in 1998 to celebrate excellence in film and television productions that are made in the province. Stargate series and movies are largely filmed in Vancouver.
