Battlestar Galactica remake gets writer John Orloff
"I have wanted to write this movie since I was 12 years old, and built a Galactica model from scratch out of balsa wood, cardboard, old model parts and LEDs. I love BSG, and I would pass on the job rather than frak it up."
This movie will be a theatrical remake of the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica TV series, and not the more recent Battlestar Galactica reboot, which aired on Syfy. The show focuses on a space ship containing some of the last surviving humans, as they try to find their way back to Earth.
Bryan Singer is directing Battlestar Galactica, although it isn't known when production may begin. Bryan Singer indicated earlier this week that Battlestar Galactica is one of his top priorities.
Battlestar Galactica is in development . The film is directed by Bryan Singer.

I really want Singer to come out on top here, lord knows he needs a hit but i would be fine just checking out Blood and Chrome like @dan1 mentions below.

I'm becoming apprehensive about this project. The re-imagining of BSG was perfect in my mind. Great acting, strong script, and I really liked the female Starbuck. He's basically trying recapture lightning in a bottle, and I don't see it happening.
Part of me wants to ignore this project and just watch Blood and Chrome when that comes out.

@rudy Star Trek did it incredibly. I'm sure Battlestar can too....and even set sequels up.
