Battlestar Galactica Coming To the Big Screen?
Well, it looks like the "sleeping giant" known as Battlestar Galactica might be stirring once again. It's being reported that Universal Studios is finally in early development stages to bring the TV franchise to the big screen, hot on the heels of Disney/Lucasfilm's most recent installment of the Star Wars saga 'The Force Awakens'. Looks like it might be 1978 all over again with Universal wanting another piece of the SW pie. The Galactica story could be taken in many different directions. We've had Ronald D. Moore's re-imagined version from the mid 2000's for example. Personally, I'd like to see Universal take a page from Disney/Lucasfilm and actually go the continuation route and bring back surviving cast members in their original roles leading a younger generation of viper pilots still facing an old foe, the cylons as the fleet continues its seemingly endless search for the 13th colony, believed to be located on a planet known as Earth. If not a continuation, then maybe a Battlestar Pegasus feature film which could retell the story of the destruction of the twelve colonies of humankind from the Pegasus crew's point of view. Just a couple of ideas to throw out there. Anyway, that's about it for now. It's getting late on my end, so until next time, have a good one. Later.
