There has long been talk of a Battlestar Galactica movie (supposedly as far back as 1999), but it looks like the flick is becoming more than just a bunch of whispers. Universal has signed on well-known producers Dylan Clark (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Michael De Luca (The Social Network) and Scott Stuber (Ted) to helm a big-screen version of the humanity-versus-Cylon struggle. The X-Men series' Bryan Singer is reportedly involved as an executive producer, but it's not certain that he'll direct.

The credentials suggest that this is an important project for Universal, but whether or not it succeeds is up in the air. The fan-favorite Battlestarreboot ended its TV run 7 years ago, and follow-ups like Blood & Chromeand Caprica weren't huge hits. Will that audience come back for a movie, especially if the production shares little in common with Ronald Moore's gritty take on the sci-fi universe? We wouldn't rule it out, but don't be surprised if Adama, Starbuck and crew aren't the same as you remember them.

Personally, I think they should leave it alone since both the 1978 and 2004 series kind-of closed the ending. If anything, pick up where the reboot left off on Earth. Only thing I'd want to see from the original series are the sphinx helmets.

As long as they don't reboot Gaalctica 1980.

Didn't like that they tried to one-up CHiPs with FLYING motorcycles?

The only half-way decent episode of that series was The Return of Starbuck.

But I loved the cylons that didn't look like humans....

This seems like a project that shouldn't be made yet. Ronald Moore's version is too fresh in my mind.
