Universal looks to bring Battlestar Galactica to the big screen!

Rumors have been flying around for some time but it seems that a Battlestar Galactica movie could finally be coming to the big screen!

Universal Pictures has just picked up the rights to the film and plans to move forward with the project. Universal has so far hired Jack Paglen (Transcendence) to write the screenplay and excitingly, original series creator Glen Larson has signed on to produce! 

Fans should be made aware though that this new Battlestar Galactica is going to be an entirely new story. According to Variety this is going to be a complete re-imagining of the story. So anything that you liked in the original 1970s show or 2003's reboot series from Ronald Moore may be gone completely. 

There have been several attempts in the past to bring Battlestar Galactica to the big screen but this is the first time that it appears that it could really happen. How do you feel about the show coming to the big screen? What are your thoughts on it being a total re-imagining?
