Transcendence writer to pen the Battlestar Galactica movie

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.

With Marvel just releasing the teaser for the second Captain America movie, now Bryan Singer and Fox has also released the first teaser video for the upcoming "X-Men: Days of Future Past". In the upcoming sequel/prequel, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) has his consciousness sent back to 1973 to help Professor X (James McAvoy), Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and the rest of the X-Men: First Class crew stop the rise of the Sentinels, giant robots programmed to exterminate mutants.  It's really nothing but a ten second glimpse of the movie, but I'm sure lots of geeks out there are getting wet with excitement over this.

The Next X-MEN Movie is "Days of Future Past"

X-Men Cast (including director) to Reprise Roles

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS was not only one impressive, epic superhero movie, it also washed out the stink brought upon the X-men movie franchise by its gad-awful sequels "X-men 3: The Last stand" and the SH!Tacular "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". After 'First Class', the next X-men movie project being developed is X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST which is obviously an adaptation of the 1981 x-Men storyline of the same title. Its storyline deals with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps. But on the other hand, it seems obvious that this movie adaptation will blend the X-MEN FIRST CLASS universe with the previous X-MEN movies universe (and hopefully disregard and completely phase out the events of the awful third movie 'LAST STAND').

Bryan Singer, the director of the first two X-Men movies (and was producer of 'First Class') will step in and direct 'Days of Future Past'. In addition to First Class stars Michael Fassbender (Magneto), James McAvoy (Professor X), and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), we previously learned that X-Men actors Ian McKellan (Magneto), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) will be reprising their roles in the upcoming follow-up. In a recent Twitter revelation, Singer revealed that Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) will also be joining the cast.
