Bryan Singer Directing Battlestar Galactica Movie
Bryan Singer has been hired by Universal Pictures to produce and direct a big-screen version of "Battlestar Galactica". The film is not expected to have any connection to the recently ended Syfy series from Ronald D. Moore and will instead be a complete re-imagining. Glen Larson, who created the 1978 original series, is also on board as a producer. This is actually Singer?s second crack at the property. He and Tom De Santo had developed a TV sequel to the original series and were just months away from filming the backdoor pilot before the attacks on America on September 11, 2001 happened. SCI FI/Syfy grew nervous and the project fell apart. Of course the network would ultimately move forward with a separate project from Ron Moore and David Eick, via their 2003-2009 reboot.
