Bryan Singer Set to Direct Battlestar Movie


Bryan Singer the director of such movies as X-Men I & II, Superman Returns, and Valkyrie is set to direct an upcoming Battlestar Galactica movie. The strangest part is that this movie is going to be completely separate from SciFi SyFy's original series Battlestar Galactica. If any other director were attached to the project I would say leave the series alone, it still has Ron Moore's urination all over it, but because its Bryan Singer I'm actually very curious to see how he recreates the series. Hes got a lot to live up too, even though the ending to Ron Moore's BSG was disappointing to say the least, he still did an amazing job recreating the series and making the characters lovable and incredibly real. I wish him good luck but I do have one small request; can Katie Sackhoff still be StarBuck?

  1. Blair - again thanks for the heads up on a project I had no idea about. I remember that Singer was originally going to make a BSG movie that was going to be a continuation of the original series, but he was offered X-Men and abandoned the project. Moore took it over and it became the Sci-Fi, err SyFy, series we had.

    I am glad to see him back in the game because he obviously liked the BSG mythos before the resurgence during the series craze. But he would've been an idiot to turn down a money machine like the X-Men franchise (which I liked minus The Last Stand). I'm definitely curious to see what he is going to do. Sometime back I read that original series creator Glen A. Larson ha written a script and it was greenlit. That script has to do with a continuation of the original series. Still either way any BSG news is good news to me, original series or newer series related.
