Finally a Battlestar movie for the long time fans! We're with you Bryan!

"There are those that...are obviously a bit confused or lacking of fact." Larson, Singer and DeSanto were in the process of continuing the original series prior to the Moore re-imagined series. Unfortunately the production was scrapped due to the 9/11 incident and the shows parallel ideals with human extinction and the real life tragedy along with some other production issues. Universal felt it was a bit too early to throw something on TV so soon after what happened and backed out. This allowed for Moore's series to be greenlit 18 months later (a small amount of pre production work was shown during Galacticon '03) as they saw some great stuff and the rest is history. I'm original series fan, and I also enjoyed the "re-imagined" series but honestly for anyone to comment that the idea is dumb, based on bitterness or even desperate should consider that without Larson and Universal, BSG would never have existed for a re-imagined series to be pulled from.

This just reeks of desperation on the part of Unviersal; a company that hasn't had much luck at the box office this year. Syfy's BSG is barely done as a series, with a stand-alone movie still on the way, and they're already talking about a movie that will ignore all that. Moreover, knowing how Singer likes to spend money, this movie will probably cost more than the entire 4 seasons of the series and will be luycky to break even. Maybe this will be the final nail in the coffin of Bryan Singer's lackluster career since wowing us with the great The Usual Suspects.

aren't there any other sci-fi franchises out there in need of a first remake/re-imaging/re-whatever. I can think of a few stories that could benefit a retelling (granted the film be well done).

New BSG is far superior, ending and all. And Singer should have stuck with X-Men.

I think Glen Larson is bitter at this version, so he wants to quickly remake it. This will probably flop, seeing how RM's version is loved by everyone right now.

Reboots are a great idea, but not quite so close together. I would love to see a reboot after a longer period of time.

This has to be one of the dumbest ideas ever.

This is such a terrible idea. Remakes as a whole are tricky, and then to take one of the most successful remakes of all time and try to remake it yet again . . . and considering that, with Caprica and The Plan coming out this version of BG still seems to have plenty of life left in it. Why can't they see they were beaten to the punch, a LONG time ago, and move on?
