Already familiar to comic book and science-fiction fans for his work on the X-Men film series, director Bryan Singer has been tapped by Universal Studios to helm a big-screen adaptation of the widely popular and heralded reboot of Battlestar Galactica.The seventy-three episode series, seen on the SyFy network, recently ended, but talk of a film surfaced quickly.Singer’s involvement in the film was reported on the website Hitflix and has since been confirmed!Singer has long had an interest in BSG, as he almost had a hand in relaunching the original late 1970’s version into what it became today, but multiple reasons, such as his directing the original X-Men film, kept him from direct involvement.Another direction for the series could be taken with this film, as Universal has hinted that this movie will be a “complete re-imagining”.Thoughts on Singer’s involvement?Feel free to comment!
