@Anthony:

theres some lines i just won’t cross and twitter is one of them! :D

we usually update major scifi news on the twitter, which appears on the front page (bottom right) or at http://twitter.com/TrekMovie/

another reason to join the thousands who follow TrekMovie on Twitter.

Yes, it’s in the Movies version which has just been posted.

Good baby Glock handling by Anna Torv or whoever closeup in the season 2 preview. Just don’t ruin it by adding the sound of a hammer being cocked later.

Isn’t that exactly what they said about Star Trek in 2006? ;-)

As I recall that reboot was designed to attract a brand new audience not mine the core-fanbase yet again. Moore’s BSG drew on the same characters, technologies and situations so as to make them a bit more culturally familiar to current audiences who may not have watched the show. Like Trek, despite what some hard-core fans said about not going to see it, I imagine every single Moore BSG fan will show up to see what Singer did, at least once. With the right stars and action, they could very will hit with a Summer popcorn audience exactly the same way Trek did. BSG is a good story and could certainly be made a lot more fun and exciting than Moore’s did, or even the original.

I am reminded of Lost In Space … the movie version, by taking itself so seriously, sucked all the life out of what was otherwise an incredibly fun franchise. As long as Singer avoids that trap, it could do really well.

I agree completely. From what I read it’s going to be moreso based on the old Galactica and wait till you hear this, the Cylons will be led by a “Borgified” Apollo. Absolutely ridiculous, it sounds like basically best of both worlds and Locutus.

Supposedly Singer’s getting 10 mill for it. Universal, who already produced RDM’s Battlestar bought the movie rights from Larsson in february but it leaked online that Singer’s signed on in the past day or two.

RDM’s Battlestar needed a 3-4 hour mini series just to do the pilot and set up the premise, theres no way in a 2 hour film that they can show the journey from start to finish with any sort of meaning.

They want it to be out summer 2011 which is also when a certain sequel is also due out….

A big screen reboot of the non-Ron Moore old BSG sounds like a huge hornet’s nest. Singer should have stuck with the “Baby X-Men” thing he was considering.

Old BSG was a “Star Wars” knockoff, and it’s only interest in the Sci-Fi Network series that would lead to this project being green-lit. It’ll surely piss off a lot of people.
