It seems that after the current series has ended and the future 2-hour special is over, the rights to Battlestar Galactica may spawn another re-imaging of the franchise. No, I’m not talking about the series Carpica, which is only based on the current BSG universe and before the final Cylon attack and is basically a soap opera, I am talking about a new version of the old BSG.

According to an IGN article and backed up by other sources, a movie is in the works to bring Glen A. Larson and his vision of BSG to the big screen not unlike earlier incarnations.  From the rumors, some confirmed by IGN, we will be getting a new version of the original show, a more space opera/Star Wars/Star Trek action/adventure movie or movies with a potential for a spin-off series.  This wouldn’t be a first for the franchise, so far both incarnations started out as pilots/movies one-shots with the hope of a series pickup with the first having limited theatrical releases before the decision was made and the second series pilot more of a test of audience reaction to the re-imaging.

I for one am excited about a new action oriented blasters-a-blasting and metal Cylons red Pong-like eye in a movie or series.
