On March 26 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_26), 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007), Ronald Moore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Moore) said that the Sci Fi Channel was not picking up Caprica as a pilot, though a movie or DVD release were still possibilities. According to Moore, the show was currently "on the back burner."<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference">[19] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_%282004_TV_series%29#cite_note-18)</sup> On March 18 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_18), 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008), Ronald Moore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Moore) said that it has been confirmed that the long rumored and scantily reported spin-off, Caprica is in fact a go project. Sci Fi Channel has given the green light to a two-hour backdoor pilot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_pilot) for the series – which means it will air as a TV movie (not unlike the promotion and rollout for "Razor") – and if successful it will get a series commitment from the network. The project is currently slated to shoot in Spring 2008 and air in the Fall. <sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference">[20] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_%282004_TV_series%29#cite_note-19)</sup><sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference">[21] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_%282004_TV_series%29#cite_note-20)</sup>
