Battlestar Galactica Movie

Universal is gearing up for a Battlestar Galactica movie, but not so much in the way that you hope they are...

This Battlestar Galactica will not be helmed by Rom Moore, the man behind the current blockbuster series. It will be led by Glen A. Larson, creator of the original Battlestar series in '78 and it's Galactica 1980 follow up. Wow. Super. Larson's Galactica wasn't the gritty and realistic space saga that Moore's is. It was a more lighthearted, space adventures kind of show. Good. I really hate the great story development and the depth of the new Galactica. It would be great if it were just another show about people on a spaceship. No wait. That would be fucking awful.

Also the movie will apparently have nothing to do with the current continuity in place in the series. But don't worry, Adama, Starbuck and Baltar will be in the film. Evedently this movie would be yet another re-launch of the series. What the fuck? I have no idea.

All this weird info comes to us from James Hibbard's Live feed blog. The entirety of the article can be found here; http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/02/universal-in-talks-for-battlestar-movie.html
