'Galactica' star delighted over movie

Battlestar Galactica actor Jamie Bamber has spoken of his joy at the forthcoming feature-length prequel 'Razor'.

Bamber, who plays Lee Adama in the hit remake, told Sci Fi Wire: "Every one of us in the Galactica family has always nurtured a not-so-secret passion to try and make a movie out of the show, because there are so many things that on a week-in-week-out one-hour drama you have to compromise on, budgetarily and in terms of storylines and how much you can fit into 44 minutes of a narrative. It was great to tell a longer story and to have a bit more money to throw at it and to tell a huge arc."

The 34-year-old English star also explained where 'Razor' will fit in with the previous episodes: "[It takes place] right back from before the miniseries, before the very first shot we ever picked up on in the show, and goes right the way through to the back end of season two. It was a huge script in its ambition… I thought that was a very worthy endeavour and a good way to bring a new audience to Battlestar before a fourth season being aired."

Battlestar Galactica: Razor will be shown in late November, in advance of the fourth and final season of the show in early 2008.
