First “Battlestar Galactica: The Plan” Teasers Out Now

The Sci Fi channel released the first two frakkin’ teasers for “Battlestar Galactica: The Plan”, the prequel movie to the series. “The Plan” will air in November and documents the Cylon plotting and execution of the nuclear attack on the colonies.

Tonight’s the Night: True Blood Season 2

Season 2 of “True Blood” premieres tonight at 9 pm. We’ve gathered up a slew of videos and pics to satisfy your blood lust over those last few hours. We’ll also have an instant response up tonight shortly after the episode airs, so be sure to check back.

Here Stephen Moyer goes way out of his way (and well off the red carpet) to pose for photos and sign autographs for fans. He actually seems like a really nice guy:

Channel Surfing: Thrones casting, the Late Night Ratings War, and a new face for Tara

Here comes TV news at Twitter speed:

Showtime announced that Viola Davis signed on for a significant guest spot on season 2 of “United States of Tara.” The network also renewed its brand new Edie Falco series, “Nurse Jackie,” based on the strength of the ratings and critical response of its debut episode.

Letterman beat Conan in the ratings on Tuesday night, which seemed a surprise considering the hype O’Brien got over his “Tonight Show” entrance.  Conan moved back on top last night.

Maurissa Tancharoen annouced via her twitter account that two former “Reaper” writers/producers have joined the “Dollhouse” team – Michell Fazekas and Tara Butters. The news doesn’t come as a huge surprise as the pair had inked a 2 year deal with Fox a while back.

George R.R. Martin said on his livejournal that Cyanide Studios have bought the rights to make next gen console and PC games based on his “Song of Ice and Fire” series. He also said that casting is underway in London, Ireland and LA for HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”   (Check out our Thrones dream cast here if you missed it.)

Zoë Green will write the George Clooney produced Sci-Fi Channel project, “The Diamond Age.” According to the Variety report, Green has forthcoming Rob Reiner and Stan Lee projects.  “The Diamond Age” will be based on the Hugo winning Neal Stephenson novel of the same name.

Sticking with Scifi, “Battlestar Galactica – The Plan” will air in November.

In HBO land, the season 2 premier of “True Blood: The Complete First Season (HBO Series)” dominates the headlines. Sunday, June 14, at 9 pm.

A Storm of Stars: Casting HBO’s “Game of Thrones”

HBO scored a major coup last month when they landed Peter Dinklage to play the role of Tyrion in their upcoming series “Game of Thrones” based on George R. R. Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” series. Dinklage was the dream choice of everyone from the author himself on down. As huge fans of pretty much everything GRRM writes (as well as most HBO shows), we decided to try our hands at filling out the rest of the cast. Here goes:
