Might the latest Battlestar Galactica reboot actually happen? Universal seem to think so...
Battlestar Galacticamay return to the screen after all, this time as a film. Varietyis reporting that Jack Paglen, who wrote Transcendence, and who is also on board for the Prometheussequel is writing the new Battlestar Galactica movie. Glen Larson, who famously created the original Battlestar GalacticaTV series will produce. That's about as far as things seem to have gotten.
While we don't doubt the veracity of these reports, there has been so talk of a Battlestar Galacticamovie for quite some time. Let's not forget that Bryan Singer was threatening to reboot Battlestar Galactica (along with Logan's Run) before the recent TV series had even hit re-runs. And then there's the fact that the 2004-2009 TV series is going to cast a VERY long shadow, so we have to file this reboot under, "wake us when it happens." Any version of the Battlestar Galactica saga has always seemed to lend itself more to episodic storytelling than anything that could be contained in a single film. It's not impossible, though...it might just be a little too soon to get too excited about this one.
We could, however, just use this as an excuse to re-watch the series...
