I know what you’re thinking right now. “John, you must mean the new Battlestar Galactica TV show right?” Nope. If any of you haven’t seen the Battlestar Galactica mini series used to launch the new show, you REALLY should. I think it’s just fantastic. However, word is that Glen Larson hold the rights to any theatrical version of the series and is thinking about doing a movie with the original cast. The folks over at IESB give us this:
Last night at the Buck Rogers DVD release event Larson told the IESB that there is quite a bit of interest in making a new film featuring the original cast. He knows that both Dirk Benedict and Richard Hatch are willing participants in the venture. He does not know what storyline they will follow but that they plan to be faithful to the original series and to the fans. “We have some pretty good ideas and it will be a great journey to bring BSG back,” Larson said.
Honestly, I don’t know about this. The new show is great. Maybe they should just leave well enough alone. Not to mention, an “original cast” movie without Lorne Green would be hollow. Besides, if you’re going to do an “original Cast” movie, I’d rather see Dirk Benedict back as Face in the A-Team! Da da-da-da Da Da Duh! Thanks to Howard for the tip.
