New Caprica Poster is Solid Mix of Sexy and Creepy

The folks at SyFy have sent over the brand new poster for the upcoming series Caprica this evening, and we’re not quite sure what to make of it. It features Zoe Graystone, played by Alessandra Torresan, and the tag line “The Future of Humanity Begins with a Choice.” It is a clear riff on the concept of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the biblical tale in which Eve eats the apple, thus disobeying God and committing the first sin.

In Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel series, Zoe is the daughter of Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz), the man who first creates the Cylon race. After Zoe is killed in a terrorist attack, he looks for a way to bring her back as a synthetic being. Which is where the show’s pilot (currently on DVD) begins).

As for this poster, seen below, I’m concerned that it might be a bit too sexy. Isn’t Zoe in high school in the pilot? I know that actress Alessandra Torresan is 22-years old in real life, but aren’t we going a bit too far with this one? Please share your thoughts below.

  • So this Caprica poster is a copycat because it has the same colors? The link you provided sure is damning evidence.

    Same color and tone as True Blood promos. Reeks of desperation like another copycat promo.

    i have to agree that perhaps the poster is a tad too sexy for a character that is supposed to be a child. Also, it isn't really the girl that eats the apple. it's dad. perhaps something that ties into his temptation and love of his daughter in a non creepy pedophile way would have been better.

    Hmmm.... looks just like the WEEDS and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES posters from years past.

    Naked girl holding fruit (or snake or whatever). Ho-hum. Not very creative if you ask me.
  • i agree neil!
  • As long as the writing is good I couldn't care less about the promo poster.

    Out of all the poster ideas that were leaked a while back, the 'Zoe with apple' one was my favorite. However, I do prefer the original, less "come hither" version. Still, the poster is not the show, and if the show is good, it'll stand on its own merits. If this poster snares viewers who stay tuned because of that, then it's done its job.
  • ooh yes sexy indeed. Desperate Housewives look-alike indeed.

    Yes, she is supposed to be in High school in the series, but her character is far from innocent. Her father invented full immersion virtual reality, & it's clear from the first scene of the pilot what that means. If you haven't watched it, take what you know of the internet & use your imagination. In the pilot, Zoe is planning on running off on a religious quest. It's obvious that she's old enough to make life choices, & she is portrayed as VERY intelligent. Certainly she is what we would consider "of age."
