Battlestar Galactica Feature Film Confirmed 342
Dave Knott writes "Entertainment Weekly reports that Universal Pictures has confirmed rumours of a Battlestar Galactica feature film. Directed by Bryan Singer, and co-produced by original series creator Glen Larson, the new movie will not be related to the recently concluded SyFy Network series. Rather, it will be a 'complete re-imagining of the sci-fi lore that was invented by Larson back in the '70s.'"

Brought to you by the same minds that thought Syfy was a good name change......
When a movie reminds you of that channel, would you say it's Syfylous?

Just sounds like sour grapes to me. This isn't the 1970s anymore - TV series (well, the upmarket ones) need people who can actually act well, not just stand on their mark looking good. ANd I don't think anyone could accuse Benedict of being the worlds best actor - calling him wooden would be unfair to the pine desk I'm typing this at.

Obligatory SPOILER ALERT
No doubt all fiction can be traced right back to a factual account of early humans' journey out of Africa... which by coincidence is exactly where the BSG re-imagined series ends.
Perhaps it can be traced right back to when the survivors of the 12 colonies landed in Africa, in which case all fiction can be traced to Battlestar Galactica.

All of this was re-imagined before and it will be re-imagined again.

You can't spoil the ending: the writers already did that.

It's not like how Lucas was able to squeeze more story out of the Star Wars trilogy by adding in effects that brought it up to modern-day standards (and fixed the story in parts that didn't make sense).
Yeah, I'm so glad how me made Greedo shoot first, but Han still measures time in distance.
Now excuse me for yard. I've got a phone call.

The new BSG TV show made some changes: more female characters, a dark tone, hot chicks everywhere, etc.
If the movie wants to keep pushing the envelope, they should make all the characters female. Then they could make the tone even darker by setting the movie in a prison. Then they could make it even hotter by having the chicks take their clothes off all the time. That's right, I'm talking about BSG: lesbian prison porn. You know it would sell!

70's Starbuck was male.
Err, that was the GP's point.
Others maybe don't know that.
70's Starbuck objectified women.
Which doesn't necessarily imply that he was male. Women can objectify women, too.
And then thre ws the whole "women flying vipers, we can't do that!" episode which IIRC ended with a patronizing "didn't they do well" and was never mentioned again.
Now that's a good example for objectification. And i didn't know that one :)

The Hollywood Singularity will occur when a movie is remade before the previous remake has finished production. I am glad to see this bold step towards the Hollywood Singularity.

I'm guessing the name was necessary to obtain funding for the series.
"I want to make an gritty and edgy new sci-fi series, loaded with violence and moral conflicts. Oh, and in the first episode, 50,000,000,000 people die."
"No."
"Ok. My second proposal: A re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica."
"GREAT IDEA!"
