Battlestar Galactica - the TV addict: Jamie Bamber Interview

Exclusive Interview: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Star Jamie Bamber
April 4th, 2008
By: Amrie Cunningham [My Take on TV]
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is back, and not surprisingly, better than ever. What better way to count down the minutes to the final season premiere than by spending some time learning a bit more about everyone’s favorite Viper-pilot-turned-courtroom-lawyer, Lee Adama [aka Jamie Bamber]? Jamie and I talked last week about what he hopes to see for his character, what he hopes fans take away from the show, and what he really thinks about the whole “Starbuck/Apollo/will-they/can-they/should-they-really” relationship.
A brief excerpt:
BATTLESTAR is hands down one of my favorite shows on television and I’m so excited that it’s coming back tonight.
Jamie Bamber: "Yeah, we all are. It’s something that’s become very precious to us, and we want to see it finished in the right way.
What attracted you to the role of Lee when the series first started.
I think his entrance into the show. The way the character arrived, as a stranger aboard this Battlestar, not wanting to be there, being forced into this sort of retirement of his dad that he doesn’t get on with. It being completely about, you know, family relationships and something that we can all relate to. And then the end of the world happening and him being stranded in this world that he didn’t really want to be in. I thought that was the most fantastic premise for a character opening. This is not his life; this is not the people he’s surrounded by, all these military guys. He was probably, in my mind, about to quit the military, and here he is stranded. With the one man he didn’t want to see forever. It was just a great set up for a character, and an unusual one. In the original series, he was the out and out hero. And in this one, he is that, but he’s also less than perfect. He was very adolescent in the original, and I think I brought an adolescence to it that made it even more the case. It was that. It was purely that. And the fact, I knew I was meant to be playing Apollo, and yet I couldn’t find the character Apollo, he was called Lee Adama and it was that, we’re trying something new, and we’re trying to get away from the curse of these names, you know, Apollo, Starbuck. The way that Ron has made the world plausible, is what struck me."

Battlestar Galactica: “We are at the top of our game…”
With the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica finally upon us, executive producers Ron Moore and David Eick, along with cast members Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Tricia Helfer and Lucy Lawless chat to Tara Bennett about the fallout from the Cylon revelations, the return of a nasty character and the heartbreak of eventually saying goodbye.
A brief excerpt:
**snippage**
Q: Did you agree with the selection of the four secret Cylons?
Katee Sackhoff "Every single Cylon was aligned with a person in power or in a strategic position to be able to bring down the fleet.
You had Anders aligned with Kara and the pilots. Tory [Foster] was aligned with the President. Aaron Douglas’s character [Tyrol] was in charge of the Vipers and Tigh was directly connected with Adama. Each one of those Cylons is right next to a person that can take down the fleet which I thought was a very smart thing to do and something people didn’t expect."
**snippage**
Are there any stories that you’ve held back that could turn into something else later on?
Ron Moore I don’t think so. I think the show will end and we’ll sit around and talk about stories we could have told or things we didn’t get around to, but the decision is to end the show when we are at the top of our game.
We want to end it strong, on our terms, to a natural conclusion, and that choice precludes other choices. I think if the show was going on for two more seasons, there would be other stories and we would come up with all kinds of other things, but the stories would start to attenuate and wouldn’t be quite as strong as they are now. You
always go off stage with them wanting more, and that is the same for us as well.

Sanctuary - New York Post: Nothing But Green Screen:

NOTHING BUT GREEN SCREEN
FIRST ALL-SPECIAL EFFECTS SERIES
By DON KAPLAN
The Web-only "Sanctuary" is being made for TV.
April 4, 2008 --
THE hottest movie technology around - the special effect that has made movies like "300" possible - is coming to TV.
A new Sci Fi channel series "Sanctuary" will be the first television show to be filmed almost entirely with "green screen" technology.
The technique puts the actors in front of a blank background saying their lines, and a computer will be used later to fill in the rest of the scenery and parts of the action.
It's a technique that was used with great success in movies like "300," "Sin City" and "Beowulf."
Green screen had been too expensive for a weekly TV series.
But the computer technology, in the last few months, has become better and cheap enough for a TV network to consider using to make an entire, 13-week series.
The new show will be produced by "Stargate" bosses Damian Kindler and Martin Wood, who already have a relationship with Sci Fi.
"Sanctuary" is described as the "X-Files" meets "Van Helsing." It follows the adventures of Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping), a 157-year-old physician who studies monsters. She is helped in her work by her reluctant protégé, psychiatrist Will Zimmerman, and her fearless daughter Ashley. Together they seek to find and help the strange and often-frightening creatures that populate their world.

(Please follow the link for the complete GateWorld interview.)
MYTH MAKER
GateWorld talks with Robert C. Cooper
Robert C. Cooper has worn many different hats for the Stargate franchise, from story editor and writer to executive producer and director. His influence has culminated in the Ori story arc, which he played a major role in creating. The Ori spanned the final two years of Stargate SG-1 and the new DVD movie, Stargate: The Ark of Truth -- which Cooper also wrote and directed.
The Ark of Truth left us with a number of questions about the mythology, from the Ancients and the Ori to the final fates of some of our favorite characters. In this extensive, two-part interview, Cooper goes more in-depth than ever before on the Ori storyline and The Ark of Truth.
In Part 1 he answers questions about the concept of the Ori and what he found most interesting about them, Adria and her relationship with Vala, and the challenge of keeping the series accessible to a broad audience. He also reveals what Season Eleven would have looked like, had SG-1 not been canceled when it was.
Don't miss Part 2 later this week!

'Battlestar Galactica's' fourth season, the strike, and directing in space: The scoop from Ron Moore
Below is the edited text of my mid-March conversation with “Battlestar Galactica” executive producer Ronald D. Moore. In a day or so, I’ll post a review/feature on Season 4, which begins 9 p.m. Friday on Sci Fi. But I thought I’d post the text of this interview first.
By the way, I posted a few highlights from this interview here two weeks ago; that post includes Moore's thought on the new "Star Trek" film, the set of which he visited recently.
http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2008/03/battlestar-gala.html
There are five sections:
* 1. Moore discussing his first-ever stint in the director’s chair
* 2. Moore discussing the 100-day WGA strike
* 3. Non-spoilery “Battlestar” info
* 4. Somewhat spoilery “Battlestar” info that you can probably safely read after you’ve seen Episode 1 of Season 4 (you can read it before that if you’re OK with discussion of some general story themes that coming up. This section doesn't reveal many plot points.)
* 5. The final bit is pretty spoilery material
You will get warnings before any spoilers appear. If you want to be spoiler-free for Season 4, you can safely read the first three sections of this interview. And then you can go look at the Season 4 cast photos.
http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2008/02/battlestar-ga-1.html
Then you can watch this funny eight-minute video, which efficiently recaps the first three seasons of "Battlestar." There's also a long conference-call interview with Katee Sackhoff, who plays Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, here.

If you like spoilers, there are some near the end of this interview, and more tidbits, hints and so forth here.

Below is the edited text of my mid-March conversation with “Battlestar Galactica” executive producer Ronald D. Moore. In a day or so, I’ll post a review/feature on Season 4, which begins 9 p.m. Friday on Sci Fi. But I thought I’d post the text of this interview first.
By the way, I posted a few highlights from this interview here two weeks ago; that post includes Moore's thought on the new "Star Trek" film, the set of which he visited recently.

There are five sections:
* 1. Moore discussing his first-ever stint in the director’s chair
* 2. Moore discussing the 100-day WGA strike
* 3. Non-spoilery “Battlestar” info
* 4. Somewhat spoilery “Battlestar” info that you can probably safely read after you’ve seen Episode 1 of Season 4 (you can read it before that if you’re OK with discussion of some general story themes that coming up. This section doesn't reveal many plot points.)
* 5. The final bit is pretty spoilery material
You will get warnings before any spoilers appear. If you want to be spoiler-free for Season 4, you can safely read the first three sections of this interview. And then you can go look at the Season 4 cast photos.

Then you can watch this funny eight-minute video, which efficiently recaps the first three seasons of "Battlestar." There's also a long conference-call interview with Katee Sackhoff, who plays Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, here.

If you like spoilers, there are some near the end of this interview, and more tidbits, hints and so forth here.
