Space history is always in style in Hollywood. Following the successes of the "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" sagas, now it is the turn of a new film adaptation of 'Battlestar Galactica'.
This project is not new. It has been in development for many years. However, this time it seems that he is serious. At Universal studios already confirmed in February that important steps are being taken, but now there is an interesting news: Lisa joyUntil now the screenwriter of the HBO series "Westworld", will be in charge of the script for the film adaptation of the long-awaited return of this science fiction title.
As other important news is the confirmation of Scott Stuber, Michael De Luca and Dylan Clark as producers and also the idea that Francis Lawrence ('The Hunger Games', 'I am a legend') is in charge of the direction of the project.
As a result, Universal would renew its commitment to the adaptation of the science fiction series of 1978 and 2004, a product that usually attracts a legion of followers. Despite these developments, other types of details are not yet known, such as the synopsis of the film, its plot, and even if it will be a new story or a reboot of what has already been told in the two television series.
Recall that Battlestar Galactica takes us to a future where Humanity is slaughtered for an attack perpetrated by a race of intelligent robots called the Cylon. To lessen the effect of these attacks, the Galactica battleship begins a flight through space in search of a planet named in the legends: Earth.
It looks like, Bryan Singer will join this project as executive producer after having spent almost a decade associated with this project, specifically with the management. But it will not be in the short term, among other things because he has yet to direct the new version of 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea.
