Singer to board 'Battlestar'

By Adnan Tezer Aug 14, 2009, 20:54 GMT

Universal Pictures has hired Bryan Singer to direct and produce a feature version of "Battlestar Galactica."

It's not clear whether Ronald Moore, executive producer of the recent series, will be invited to write the screenplay, but Singer will clearly put his own creative stamp on the project, as Universal indicated in Variety that the film will be "a complete reimagination."

According to Variety, Glen Larson will produce.

The original version of the series ran for two seasons on ABC beginning in 1978. Singer had long been intrigued with "Galactica" and flirted with relaunching it into a TV series right after he directed the original "X-Men". At the time, he was teamed to executive produce the series with Tom DeSanto and to direct the pilot of the new version.

Ronald Moore became the executive producer of the 73-episode series, which had a successful run on the Sci-Fi Channel starting in 2004.
