Per Screen Rant:

It’s time to fire up the Galactica one more time, as Bryan Singer is closing a deal with Universal Pictures to bring Glen A. Larson’s sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica to the big screen – something that Singer has been trying to accomplish for the past 10 years.

Penning Battlestar Galactica’s feature film-debut is screenwriter John Orloff, who previously wrote the Angelina Jolie wartime thriller A Mighty Heart; the animated owl movie Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole; and two episodes of HBO’s Band of Brothers. More recently, Orloff wrote the upcoming Roland Emmerich film, Anonymous.
 
Interesting. I have no idea if this will be better than Ron Moore and David Eick's TV series as that TV series set the bar very, very high. Will I watch it? Yes. I love BSG. I just hope that it will be just as dark and gritty as the TV series.
