Galactica Premieres In L.A.
More than 500 guests joined cast and crew of the SCI FI Channel's upcoming original miniseries Battlestar Galactica at the show's premiere screening in Hollywood on Dec. 2. The first two hours of the four-hour miniseries screened at the Directors Guild of America to an audience that included stars Edward James Olmos (Adama), Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin), Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck), Tricia Helfer (Number Six), Grace Park (Boomer), Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol), Tahmoh Penikett (Helo) and others, as well as director Michael Rymer and executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick.
"We love it," SCI FI Channel president Bonnie Hammer told the assembled guests. "We hope you're going to love it, too."
After the screening, Olmos told SCI FI Wire that it was the first time he'd viewed a finished cut of the show. "I enjoyed it, and sometimes that's hard for me to say," Olmos said candidly. "It's really exciting, much more so than I had hoped." Olmos added that the miniseries is likely to appeal to viewers eager for a strong rendition of the familiar story. "The integrity of the piece is very strong," he said
