Self-professed original “Battlestar Galactica” fan John Orloff will be scripting Bryan Singer’s “Battlestar Galactica” movie, the director’s feature film based on the original TV show, not the recent and critically acclaimed Ron Moor reboot.
Orloff is a really big fan, too:
Or so says Bryan Singer to SFX Magazine. The director confirms that although his remake of “Excalibur” is dead in the water, he still plans to develop his version of BSG based on the ’70s TV show and not the gritty and need-to-take-a-shower-after-every-episode Ron Moore reboot.
Well this should make a lot of our readers happy. The last time I posted about a “Battlestar Galactica” movie based on the old show (and not the Sci Fi Channel reboot) with original director Glen A. Larson attached, a lot of fans made their voices known that they would dig it. Now comes word that Bryan Singer may end up directing that relaunch.
No, not the Sci Fi Channel reboot. Sorry, fans of depressing so-called sci-fi shows. We’re actually talking about the original Battlestar Galactica TV show, which according to IGN is currently moving towards an original theatrical movie over at Universal Pictures under the watchful eye of original creator Glen A. Larson, who will write and produce. Or at least, that’s the rumor.
