The Edward James Olmos directed film, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, is gearing up for a release and we’ve got all the details. The 112-minute feature has all new Cylon-on-human action, plus never-before-seen BSG behind the scenes features.
The new press release describes “The Plan” as a 90-minute feature, but we’re guessing that’s just the length of the shorter televised version. Amazon is listing the DVD release as 112 minutes long, meaning we’ll hopefully get to see a lot more tangled Cylon sex and politics. (And given how racy the Caprica DVD was, this could be pretty strong stuff.)
Here’s the official synopsis:
The Cylons began as humanity’s robot servants. They rebelled and evolved and now they look like us. Their plan is simple: destroy the race that enslaved them. But when their devastating attack leaves human survivors, the Cylons have to improvise. Battlestar Galatica: The Plan tells the story of two powerful Cylon leaders, working separately, and their determination to finish the task.
The DVDs will include:
