CAPRICA - THE BATTLE FOR HUMANITY HAS A BEGINNING...

Get ready all you Battle Star Galactica fans as the pilot episode of CAPRICA, the prequel to the BSG franchise is released on DVD  April 21, 2009.  

Caprica DVD (Anamorphic Widescreen)
An astonishing breakthrough is taking shape on the planet Caprica. The rapidly evolving spheres of human and mechanical engineering have collided, along with the fates of two families. Joined by tragedy in an explosive instant of terror, two rival clans led by powerful patriarchs, Joseph Adama (Esai Morales, Jericho) and Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz, The Butterfly Effect) duel in an era of questionable ethics, corporate machinations and unbridled personal ambition as the final war for humanity looms.

The latest phenomenon from the executive producers of Battlestar Galactica (Ronald D. Moore and David Eick), set in a time over 50 years earlier, Caprica is entirely its own world - provocative, thrilling and startling relevant to our own.

Because of the early DVD release, fans might get a chance to influence the development of the series. In a release, Mark Stern, Executive VP of Original Programming for Sci Fi, says the DVD release "affords the creative team an unprecedented chance to get viewers feedback before production on the Caprica series begins this summer."  

Are you a fan of the current reimaged BSG?  What are your thoughts on a prequel?  And will you download or purchase the advance unrated and unedited pilot DVD?
