The Goddess of Sci-fi has learned that Battlestar Galactica could be making it's way to the silver screen. But those of you, like me, who think the re-imagined Sci-fi cult classic is running out of steam as it crawls to the finish line with only 4 new episodes left to air, fear not! The Hollywood Reporter claims that this new movie will be based on the original series which ran from 1978-1979 and as such is an entirely different project scripted and produced by non other than the series creator himself, Glen A. Larson. 

Now while I'm all for keeping Sci-fi alive, I can't help but wonder if this is the right time for such a project. With Sci-fi due to wind up New BSG in the coming weeks and the interesting Caprica (more on that soon) due 2010, are we not over saturating the market? Take note what happened to Star Trek - too much in such a short amount of time!

Now, don't get me wrong, I am an avid fan of anything BSG and this does get me exited, but please can we have an entirely new staff on this project with a new slant on the tale. The reason I say this is because I feel the current run of BSG, whilst still compelling viewing, is nothing compared to the mini-series/series one. It is running out of steam and I feel was finishing at the right time, hence my mixed feelings about this new project.

Luckily, at this time, it is only rumor and Universal refuse to comment. Let's just hope if this is true the release date is sometime in 2012/13 by which time interest should have revived nicely.

The Goddess of Sci-fi must leave you now - back soon!
