It was reported in 2008 that there'll be going to have as many as three "Battlestar Galactica" TV films. These installments were under the production of Sci Fi Network, the series was created in 1978 and franchised in 2004. Its prequel is set to aired in 2010.The story revolves on how human lives on the series of planets also known as the Twelve Colonies. Conflicts arise in the Colonies (Cylons) as a result, the planets went into a disaster and surivors flew into space. Among these, the only Colonial Fleet that survives is the Battlestar Gallactica, a military ship under the leadership of Commander Adama.
The sci-fi television series was well applauded and nominated in different award wining bodies such as Emmy's. Received its worldwide success and made popular in Europe, Australia and United States.
Universal Pictures has confirmed what was originally reported on HitFix.com that Bryan Singer, director of Valkyrie, will take on directing and producing duties for a BSG movie. Glen Larson, who created original series back in 1978, will produce as well. The film is not expected to be a continuation of current popular television show that’s running on the SyFy network but will be a complete re-imagining of the sci-fi lore that was invented by Larson back in the 70s.
Singer is said to be a big fan of the original 70's series, but the supposedly $10 million dollar paycheck for Singer probably also has an effect on his directorial willingness. Despite the talent behind it, this reboot is a bad idea. Singer did X-Men, but he also did Superman Returns.
Glen Larson, who created original Battlestar Galactica in 1978, will also serve as a producer.
Not much is known about the movie's plot, but it likely won't pick up where the TV show left off; look for it to be a total re-imagining of the universe that was created by Larson in the mid-70s.
