New Caprica Promotional Image

With January approaching, Syfy is gearing up for the premiere of the Battlstar Galactica prequel series Caprica. Today, the network sent us a very nice looking promotional image for the series. It has a sort of Terminator: SCC/Dollhouse feel to it. I love the Genesis-esque touch with the apple.

Below is the series description for Caprica. The two-hour pilot was released on DVD on April, and as I’ve yet to see it, I’m hoping/assuming (waiting to confirm) that Syfy is planning on airing that to start the series off, for those of who who have yet to see it.

“Set 50 years before Battlestar Galactica, Caprica follows two rival families – the Graystones and the Adamas. Bound together by tragedy, their ensuing struggle will determine the fate of the 12 Colonies.

Caprica is a society rife with advanced technology. Little do they know they are trembling on the brink of the creation of the first cybernetic life-form node, or CYLON.

Passion, intrigue and betrayal set the stage for the coming revolution.

The Graystones and Adamas come from different cultures and wildly different socio-economic backgrounds. Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) is a computer genius and the leading businessman of the 12 Colonies. His wife, Amanda Graystone (Paula Malcolmson) is an elite neurosurgeon. Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) is an immigrant, a lawyer with ties to the mob, and a father who is desperate to reconnect with his estranged son, William (Sina Najafi).

Their bitter rivalry will bring the end of life as they know it.

Their children are the future.”
