Edward James Olmos"Battlestar Galactica" aired its final episode more than a year ago, but the story of Admiral William Adama isn't over yet.

In an interview with Screen Junkies, leading man Edward James Olmos — who played Adama and directed numerous episodes of the series, including the telemovie "The Plan" — revealed that he's currently working on a "Battlestar Galactica" sequel in comic book form.

"I'm going to go there. I'm going to go there in a graphic novel," he said. "Pretty soon I hope. I don't know. It just depends on whether people can get behind it and understand it for what it is. I think people will." Read More...

When MTV hit up the Hollywood premiere of "Step-Up 3-D" last week, the last person we thought we’d run into was beloved “Battlestar Galactica” composer Bear McCreary. Talk about pleasant surprises! McCreary penned the music for the dance flick, which has several big, tribal-y drum numbers (A McCreary specialty! See: “Fight Night”) and even better, McCreary talked about his next project: scoring “The Walking Dead” for Frank Darabont and AMC.

Edward James OlmosFollowing the conclusion of "Battlestar Galactica," a large chunk of the show's actors have migrated towards the comic book medium. Katee Sackhoff is reportedly eyeballing a turn as Typhoid Mary and Tricia Helfer recently starred in "Green Lantern: First Flight" -- and now, yet another veteran of the Human-Cylon conflict is taking the plunge into the comic book world.

Hollywood Snitch reports that Edward James Olmos of "Galactica" fame has landed an unspecified role in "The Green Hornet," the Michel Gondry-directed, Seth Rogen-starring adaptation of the masked pulp icon. Olmos broke the news at last weekend's Wizard World Chicago, though he was tight-lipped about his involvement. Read More...
