A photo spread in the November issue of Maxim features Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer and Grace Park, whose appearance in the magazine is timed to promote Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, the two hour prequel due for DVD release on October 27th (see “Another BSG Prequel”). And it appears they will stop at nothing to flog the disc, with these quotes promo-ing the issue on the
“Since the new Battlestar movie is coming to DVD before TV, can we expect some R-rated action?
Tricia Helfer: There will certainly be a lot more explicit action on the DVD. And I refuse to have a body double, so you will see a little bit of skin from me as the Six character. There’s also a new character you’ll see in some very intense sex scenes.
Grace Park: Yeah, there’s going to be a T & A version. Though maybe I should say T, C & A, because it’s not just girls this time…”
The Plan will not be shown on SyFy until 2010, so the DVD/BD/download release will be the only way to see the film until then.
The merchandise stream is still flowing in the interregnum between the end of the original series and the premiere of Caprica in January. Dynamite Entertainment recently released its Battlestar Galactica Omnibus, which collects 15 issues of the comic. Fantasy Flight’s Pegasus Expansion for its Battlestar Galactica board game sold out on release, and is currently unavailable.
