Bryan Singer Set To Direct a 'Battlestar Galactica' Big Screen Movie
But this time it may be your daddy's BSG

Yesterday HitFix.com posted a speculative article saying Universal "nearing a deal with Bryan Singer to produce and possibly direct a brand-new 'Battlestar Galactica' feature film." Today, Entertainment Weekly confirmed the speculation via Universal Pictures saying Singer will take on directing and producing duties for a Battlestar Galactica movie with original series producer, Glen Larson, also aboard the project.
Singer is best known for directing the first two films in the X-Men franchise as well as The Usual Suspects and more recently the Tom Cruise starrer Valkyrie. However, things are not exactly as you may expect.
Nicole Sperling at EW says "the film is not expected to be a continuation of current popular television show that’s running on the SyFy network but will be a complete re-imagining of the sci-fi lore that was invented by Larson back in the 70s."
One interesting item HitFix's Drew McWeeny points out is a 2003 interview with Tom DeSanto talking about an earlier "Battlestar" project Singer was interested in back in 2003. You can read up on that right here.
Of course, as if that wasn't enough, people are also already speculating Singer may be approached to direct Wolverine 2 after he has expressed interest in returning to the world of the X-Men and now that Christopher McQuarrie is writing the script. McQuarrie was an uncredited contributor to the first X-Men movie, which Singer directed, as well as the lone screenwriter on Singer's breakthrough film The Usual Suspects.
As long as Singer isn't directing another Superman movie, both options sound good to me.
