Battlestar Galactica Feature Film Confirmed
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.'"
grats for spoiling the ending, someone mod that down :D
It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.
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.
Let me guess a bizarre time paradox will result in an alternate reality, allowing them to re-imagine the series. Where have I seen that before?
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.
DS9... was that the Star Trek about the Gas Station on the interstate?

grats for spoiling the ending
You can't spoil the ending: the writers already did that.
In a survey of 100 programmers, 111111 thought that duck-typing was a good idea.
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 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.

The BSG movie was created by man. It was camed. It was torrented. There are many copies...
