Battlestar Galactica Big Screen Movie

[Theta Sigma]

Bryan Singer will direct the big screen movie of Battlestar Galactica. It will not be based on the more recent version but a complete reimagination of the original series.

From Wikipedia:
"The film will not be based on the Sci Fi Channel series of the same title; it will be based on the original series which starred Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict and the late Lorne Greene."

Whilst nice to see BSG back (in some form or another), I'm not so sure about this. They remade the series, and did it well. Other than a bit of money, what is the purpose of making this show for the big screen? Unless they do a Star Trek thing and reboot everything, and make it appeal to everyone, the only people that are going to watch it are BSG fans, and if thats the case, they ain't going to be getting huge crowds at the cinema.

Very interesting although I would rather they do the Cylon War from TNS of BSG rather than doing basically what they have just done and re-imagined it again.

I find this interesting for sure, I really hope that they can maintain the spirit of the original series even if they modernize it like TNS did.

To be perfectly honest, while I liked the new series I really never felt like I was watching Battlestar Galactica. I liked the stories involving struggles with the fleet, confrontations with the cylons and the political turmoil that erupted amongst the survivors but I got super sick of the religious iconography and the infiltrator cylons with their "master plan".

Frankly I dislike the concept of human looking cylons to being with and much less as every character, their mother and their dog then turned out to be revealed to be cylons. I was also severely disappointed by the last half of the finale.

A new Battlestar Galactica with a return to its roots which focuses on the pilots and the struggles of keeping the fleet together whilst combating the cylons would be my hope for the big screen interpretation.

Who knows though...

If it isn't a movie based on the new series with Edward James Olmos...i have to say i'm not interested in the least. That cast from the Sy Fy channel was PERFECT together.

Plus i wanna see more of Katee Sackhoff
