Singer Jumps Into BSG Movie

Battlestar Gallactica is one of those properties that gets fans all kinds of passionate when you talk about it, be it the original or the reboot. I loved the reboot, it was SciFi on the small screen at its finest. A lot of people were kind of sour with the way it end, I was kind of meh towards it. Sure it tidied everything up in a decent way but some things were just strange. But die hard BSG fans either have a reason to rejoice or get mad again because Bryan Singer has been attached to direct the new movie.

It is not clear yet whether or not this will be a completely new re-imaging of the series or if it will be something completely different. It will likely be close to what he had planned for his pilot to the TV series he wanted to do before Ron Moore got his shot to do it. Singer's version was more of a direct sequel to the '70's show, but was canned due to the large budget and it being so close to the 9/11 attacks Sci-Fi canned it.

However with Singer attached to direct it should make for a very entertaining movie. He has done great things with the properties he has taken on before, and I stand by the fact that Superman Returns did not get a fair shake, the movie was incredible. Hit Fix has the whole story so if you want to read up on it further head on over there.
