Bryan Singer has been confirmed as spearheading a new Battlestar Galactica movie for Universal.
HitFix' Drew McWeeny called it yesterday, but Universal has made it official, with the Valkyrie man on board to both direct and produce the film.
Details remain sketchy, though it will apparently be a complete re-imagining, even further than the TV series created by Ron Moore.
It'll need to be, since Moore's BSG still has exposition-loaded TV movie The Plan set to air and spin-off series Caprica arriving early next year across the pond.
So for now, there's no script and no word on whether Singer's regular collaborator (and Battlestar fanatic) Tom DeSanto will be involved, though since he was a big part of their attempt to get a new TV version going years ago, chances are he'll sign on.

Does the world need another take on Galactica? And is Singer the man for the job?

Why do another re-imagining when the TV show is so ace? I don't know about this, Singer is a good choice, but then Superman REturns was pretty c**p.

What total pants! Leave it in Moore's able hands for now. No more BSG reimagining needed!

if they do make a new movie of battlestar galactica,i hope it turns out better than the new series,i couldnt get into it because starbuck was female(not that im sexist)the cylons were c**p also the cylon ships were c**p,the cylons ought to look like the original 70s series cylons(above)also the ships were piloted by 3 cylons but in the remade series they werent even piloted by a cylon,the ship was the cylon itself.

Total waste of time and money.
Typical of the current thinking in Hollywood unfortunately to make things for the sake of it.

He ruined superman returns, i love comics, re-watched x-men, there boring, you got all these mutants with amazing superpowers and the action scenes are terrible, apart from nightcrawler at the start of x men 2, then its rubbish again, i feel sorry for all the big fans of battle star galactica i think hes going to ruin it.
