ok, hold your horses… this is just speculation I found on IMDB while reading Michael Hogan’s bio there…

Yes, Olmos mentioned this while he was at Dragon Con. He also mentioned an actual movie that will be going to theaters.
What is this alleged – note the skepticism that has slowly built over 4.5 seasons – called?
Plan 9?
Alan Parsons Project?
Preparation H?
… the Alan Parsons project sounds too frickin’ eveil to be alleged… muahahahahahhaha…!!! :eek:
They need to update the status to “post production”. Aaron Douglas said they they finished filming in September. From what he described, all the sets and props are gone. Hope the movie feels like a movie and not like a “made for Sci-fi special.”
That makes it sound like Espenson will be writing for the motion picture as well. Unless they got this whole thing written, filmed and what-not in a few weeks.
It will be a SciFi Channel cross-over mega-event co-starring Mansquito, Flash Gordon, and Zooey Deschanel.
If they do a movie movie and it’s not about the first cylon war I’mma choke a bitch (Sorry barb_
I thought “Boy” was Boxey
You were in BSG for like…the miniseries and an episode. Quit yo complain 'fore we feed you to the yombies!
AND you verbally bitchsmacked Tigh
Will it involve the One CYLON to Rule Them All?
Hey, Zooey is the one in Failure to Launch? Or is she the other sister from Bones ?
io9 surprisingly gets something interesting:
We won’t get to see the Cylon-centric Battlestar Galactica TV movie, “The Plan,” until sometime next year. But actor Matthew Bennett (who plays Aaron Doral, the “Kevin Spacey” Cylon) brought some script pages from “The Plan” to the Trinity In Space convention for wannabe actors to workshop with. And they offer some tantalizing hints as to just what those Cylons have been up to all this time, when we weren’t looking.
Scene one: Simon (the Cylon doctor) is sharing a cabin on Galactica with someone named Diana, who’s a deckhand. (My money here is on Diana Seelix, who was a deckhand before she became a pilot.) Diana is complaining about how Chief Tyrol made her check Starbuck’s Raptor. And Simon tells her there’s more to life than duty, and she should live a little, since she’s seen how everything comes to an end. Simon tries to get Diana to dance with him, and she asks if he’s drunk. And then Simon accidentally wakes up their baby. (Simon and Seelix have a baby? OMG!)
Scene two: Anders meets up with Brother Cavil, shortly after becoming the leader of the resistance on Caprica. Anders confesses that he hates being a fighter and doesn’t know what he’s doing — he’s borrowed battle tactics from a movie he saw once. His resistance fighters saved this Cavil model, not realizing Cavil’s a Cylon. Cavil tries to soothe Anders, but also tries to convince him that he should forgive the Cylons.
Scene three: Cavil meets a drunk Ellen Tigh in a strip club, shortly before the Cylon attacks. She hits on him, and he reciprocates. She complains about Saul, whom she’s decided to divorce. At first she thinks Cavil is nothing like Saul, but then she decides Cavil is just like Saul after all. Cavil is just trying to get closer to Ellen, when the bombs start going off. Cavil says, “This was a bit premature.” And apparently, that last line is a major spoiler, because Bennett acted uneasy about letting it out of the bag after the fact. (And there’s a hint that Cavil had something to do with getting Ellen on a ship to safety.)
So… the TV movie is supposedly about the Cylons’ point of view on the events of BSG, and how they adapted to the fact that humans survived the attacks. I can’t help wondering if this means either Seelix or Ellen is a Cylon. Also, what happened to Simon and Diana’s baby, which is either half-Cylon or full Cylon?

So… they really DO have a plan? I thought they were just kidding.
Scene 2 & 3 seem plausible.
The first one sounds like bad fan fiction.
Ouch. crumples up latest attempt of fanfic
Holy complications, Batman!
[spoiler]Just how many magic babies are there?? Also, Ellen at a strip club reminds me of that footage from that wrap video that showed Adama and Tigh in a strip club. Interesting…[/spoiler]
Are we supposed to put spoiler tags on in here since the thread isn’t labeled “spoiler,” or not?
Yeah, a Simon model was never discovered in the fleet that I recall. In fact, an example of each model of the main 7 was found in the fleet except a Simon.
He wasn’t outed (that we saw) but he might very well have been there, and only ‘discovered’ after the occupation of New Caprica (at which point it’d be rather late.)
ETA: Of course, he’d have to stay away from Kara.
I am just trying to craft the mental image of fleet Battlestars vs a fleet Basestars and a whole host of Vipers and Raiders on an Imax screen.
I just remember that according to Ellen she was at an airport on Tauron (or some colony other than Caprica) when the attack started. Maybe the strip club was in the airport? Woohoo!
