Battlestar Galactica getting a movie? WTF
The TV series hasn’t even ended yet and they’re talking about a movie.
The TV series hasn’t even ended yet and they’re talking about a movie.
From The Hollywood Reporter,
((Just as the acclaimed Sci Fi Channel series "Battlestar Galactica" enters its final episodes, Universal has quietly entered into negotiations with Glen A. Larson to write and produce a big-screen version of the property he created.))
This reminds me of the time when the original producers of the Stargate movie wanted to make a sequel movie that only connected to the first film, thus ignoring the various series spin offs. I knew they hated the series and didn’t want any connection to them.
I loved the old series a lot, but this sounds like Glen A. Larson wanting to show up Ron Moore and make his own version. While Larson has the right to do so, because it is his universe, but why is he really making this movie now?
Will this lead to another series set in the Larson Continuity?
What are Larson’s feelings toward Moore’s reboot?
But, it would be cool to see those shiny robots again. Ignoring Galactica 1980, the original series began to move away from its original premise toward the end of the season. They even brought in a “Russian” type enemy to replace the robots. Would this trend continue in the movie?
For some reason, I like the way JJ Abrams is handling the continuity for the Star Trek movie. It is a reboot, but retains the history of the other trek universe, by making another timeline.

Hmm First I have heard of this one. I know they were making another BSG movie based on Moore's version, taking place right after the Cylon attack, plus with "Caprica" starting up. Larson has been credited as a consulting producer on the new version, maybe he felt cheated somehow. Hey, maybe Richard Hatch can get his dream role as Apollo back

I have to wonder if Universal came to him about the movie or he came to them. I think Larson does feel a little left out of the loop of Moore's version
Lol, you better believe Hatch will try anything to get back into his Apollo role.
