“Caprica” Lands Some Great Cast Members
by Honk Mahfah on Aug.19, 2009, under Caprica, Television
The currently-filming first season of Caprica has added a couple of faces to its cast, according to Ain’t-It-Cool (here and here).
James Marsters — who previously worked with showrunner Jane Espenson on Buffy the Vampire Slayer – will play terrorist leader Barnabas Greeley in at least three episodes. I love the fact that a man best known for playing a vampire is now playing a character named “Barnabas.” If you don’t get that referrence, Google is your friend.
Also joining up is Patton Oswalt, taking on a “recurring” role as Baxter Sarno, a comedian and talk show host who has Daniel and Amanda Greystone on his show.

Bear McCreary Blogs About “Caprica” Score
by Honk Mahfah on Apr.26, 2009, under Battlestar Galactica, Caprica, Music, Television
At his awesome site Bear’s Battlestar Galactica Blog, composer Bear McCreary has written an extensive article about his score for Caprica.
“My approach for Caprica would be the polar opposite” of the scores for Galactica, says McCreary, explaining that he “stripped away the urgent, tribal, primitive, and mystical elements” of that series.
“My harmonic language for Caprica is far more lyrical and rich than the simple drones and dissonant clusters that permeate the majority of Galactica,” says the composer.
The soundtrack CD, due out on June 16, is already available for pre-order.
For the full — and excellent — article, check out McCreary’s site.
