Bryan Singer's 'Battlestar Galactica' Snags A Writer

Bryan Singer is a 'Battlestar Galactica' geek, and thankfully so is his new writer. Universal is in the final stage of a deal to sign John Orloff ('Anonymous,' 'Legend of the Guardians') to pen the script based on the 1978 television series. Orloff claims he has wanted to write this movie since he was 12 years old, when he was building balsa wood models of the series' ships. Bryan Singer has been developing this project for a decade, but it wasn't until Warner Brothers pulled the plug on his 'Excalibur' movie that he decided the time was finally right to move forward with 'Battlestar Galactica.'

 

I'm actually interested to see a 'Battlestar' movie based on the original series. As much as I think the most recent incarnation of the 'Battlestar Galactica' universe was a vast improvement on the OG television series, I'm glad Singer is not trying to retread something so fresh. I have caught episodes of the original series and, geeks forgive me, find it to be a bit dull. The question here is, without simply recreating the 70s depictions of spacecraft and space fashion, how will Singer distinguish his film aesthetically to stand apart from the newer television series? 

 

Would you guys be interested in a new 'Battlestar Galactica' movie or do you think we aren't far enough removed from the newer show to make this work?

The new show's just done too much. Leave some breathing space

Hey, Singer! What the hell are you thinking!!??

Why is this being made? The Show was enough....
Comment by Rabid Chicken on October 24, 2011 at 6:15am
This seems a very redundant, especially after the recent tv series.
Comment by Jacob Minger on October 24, 2011 at 12:08am
Why in the hell is this film even being made? Especially when you have an awesome Battlestar Galactica series already that is already pretty much a masterpiece in science fiction television. I highly doubt that show can be topped (but then again I'm a massive BSG nerd when it comes to the new series). I think I'll be staying away from this film.

If it ends up being another "homage" film like Superman Returns then FRAK no.  On second thought, no FRAKKIN way Mr. Singer.  Leave it alone.

Well, that seems pointless.

@Josh

Yeah, closure is good "And the handsome prince and his princess lived happily ever after. THE END" Now we have a load of direct to DVD sequels! The truth is as long as there will be a market for something some guy is going to try to sell us some stuff! :(

I know there is an Atlantis movie being tossed around but 2 sequels to the series or 2 sequels to the original movie
