Good news for avid followers of the SciFi channel's hit series, Battlestar Galactica. Although the much talked about BSG prequel, Caprica, has yet to be completed, confirmation has been made regarding the equally anticipated BSG made-for-television movie, which of course, will be shown in the SciFi channel. The movie has yet to be given a title.

Parts of the film will feature events that is set some time before the holocaust, which is why screenwriter and producer Ron Moore is quick to assure fans that each and every one of the original BSG characters have been written into the film. Moreover, the film will also cover the story of Commander Cain and his crew after they survive the holocaust. In the original series, Commander Cain was portrayed by the late actor Lloyd Bridges, and no official word has come out as to who will reprise the role for the movie.

Similar to the unfinished Caprica, which, to those who are new to the show, was a planet that the Cylons attacked and left in utter devastation, the movie will have a prequel feel to it, as it highlights the days leading up to the union of Battlestar Pegasus with the fleet. Moreover, in a crossover of sorts, the film is supposed to shed some light on some storylines on the upcoming fourth season of the show. To add to the relevance of the film to the show, Moore said that that film serves as additional episodes to the fourth season, which will start airing some time next year.

The link between the show and the film has certainly made it harder for die-hard fans and interested viewers alike to miss watching the ever-popular BSG franchise. The film is set to air at least 3 months before the fourth season, giving the audience some time to ponder on what they can possibly expect from the next BSG installment.
