The project at Universal is apparently moving forward.

If you caught the SyFy run of Battlestar Galactica, you were treated to something special. Complete with graying loyalties and intense action, the series followed a race of humans defeated by the technologically superior Cylons. The series brought a grittiness and unpredictability that kept fans watching right up to the lame series finale in 2007.
Apparently, someone took notice.
According to multiple sources, Universal is developing a film reboot of the series, and have hired Transcendence writer Jack Paglen to script the screenplay. Paglen is also involved in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus sequel for Fox that starts production this fall. Transcendence starring Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hall opens on April 18th.
Original Galactica creator Glen Larson will produce the reboot.
While we're happy to see this happening in concept, we'll wait to hear about a director and cast before we render a judgement. Are you excited to hear about a Battlestar Galactica reboot? Who needs to star and direct for you to get excited?
