Starbuck, Take 3

callmeonetrack.livejournal.comThere's a short article and poll up at UK SFX magazine website asking if the role of Starbuck in Bryan Singer's new BSG movie (which seems to have some renewed purpose/buzz lately) should be a man or woman. Singer himself says he's undecided.
What do you guys think?
Currently, there are 2 comments on the article that have opposing viewpoints, both because the posters are huge Katee Sackhoff fans, and either can't see anyone else playing the role now, or loved her so much they'd rather see it revert to a man playing it, because who could compare to Katee?
(I'm in the latter camp. Though overall, I'm pretty neutral about the movie and not that interested.)
Thought it might be an interesting question to pose to you all.

The Author of Longmire on Katee's casting

Not quite Kara-related but he does mention Starbuck! Craig Allen Johnson, the author of the Longmire novels which are the basis for Katee's new pilot that she's shooting, weighs in on the casting for the show here at Crimespree Magazine's blog (er and check out how hot Bailey Chase is in that cowboy hat. Damn.). But I've copied and pasted the brief and complimentary bit he had to say about Katee. (I certainly agree, Vic sounds just like Katee and Kara in her more playful moments). Katee Sackhoff (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, 24) is Vic Moretti. My webmaster says we just got the geek-boy demographic with this one--I think we got the rancher one as well. I went back through a few of her performances as Starbuck and more importantly her interviews online and about died laughing—she’s got quite a mouth on her and a Vic attitude. She IS Vic. The executive crew had a hard time with this one; trying to find a young woman who was sexy but still looked like she could put you in a reverse-wristlock and plant your face on the hood of your car. I truly think they did it.
In other interviews, Johnson had said that the question he got asked most when people heard about the TV show was not who would play Walt but who would play Vic. Apparently a lot of the Wyoming farmers had strong opinions on who should play the sexy-but-tough deputy. Obviously, they made a great pick. ;)
