Yes, there's gonna be Battlestar Galactica movie. But it will focus more on having its adaptation based on the original 1978 TV series. Over two years ago, Bryan Singer was circling a film adaptation of the 1970s TV series Battlestar Galactica with John Orloff (Anonymous) set to write the script. For those unfamiliar with Battlestar Galactica, it centers on a war between humanity and a race of machines called “Cylons”. Since 2011, word on the film has gone quiet, Singer has moved on, and it looked like Ronald D. Moore and David Eick‘s excellent Sci-Fi TV series would be the only adaptation. However, Variety is reporting that you can’t keep a good cylon down, and that Universal has brought on Jack Paglen (Transcendence) to write the screenplay. Original series creator Glen Larson is still on board to produce. [hit the jump to continue]
