Caprica Trailer

Caprica Trailer By Peter Sciretta/July 21, 2008 4:36 pm EST A trailer for the Battlestar Galactica prequel television movie Caprica has been released online on SciFi.com.

Billed as “television’s first science fiction family saga”, the show is set against the story of Joseph Adama, a renowned civil liberties lawyer and father of future Battlestar commander William Adama....
