Why is Sam Esmail rebooting something like “Battlestar Galactica,” that he says he’s a huge fan of?

NBCUniversal is getting into the streaming service game, just like every other major studio. Just this morning, they announced their plans for Peacock, a streaming service which will house several NBCUniversal titles, including a reboot of “Battlestar Galactica.” So, this is where that planning reboot film ended up. Last we’d heard on that front, “The Girl […]

Sounds like someone is spinning up their FTLs on that much maligned Battlestar Galactica feature film, as a new writer has been added to the project. The Girl In The Spider’s Web scribe Jay Basu has reportedly been tapped to write a new version of the script for the film, taking over the position from Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy. Sounds like Francis […]

Remember how we told you about a week ago that to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Ronald D. Moore’s reimagined Battlestar Galactica series mini series, SYFY was launching a new podcast hosted by Tricia Helfer and Marc Bernadin? Well, the first episode just released, and you can listen to it now! Each podcast will cover one episode of the first […]

Perhaps one of the single best examples of when a reboot goes well, Ronald D. Moore’s reimagined Battlestar Galactica is about to celebrate a big milestone. It’s been 15 years since the mini series (later deemed “the pilot” for nuBSG) aired, and SYFY Wire is launching a new podcast for the occasion. The podcast will be hosted […]

Still one of the most successful reboots of a classic television property to date, the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series still holds mysteries and intrigue. Some of these things are looked at in depth in the new tome “So Say We All: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Battlestar Galactica” by authors Mark A. Altman and Edward […]

There are few things I enjoy more in life than chatting with actress Katee Sackhoff.  I say this as a pretty big Battlestar Galactica fan, but also as a fan of Sackhoff herself.  She’s a pretty awesome person, an animal lover and fierce friend to those she deems worthy.   She’s also so much fun to talk to professionally, […]

I’ll admit it right off: I do not want or need a new Battlestar Galactica. Ron Moore’s reimagined series is the touchstone example of how to take an existing franchise and update it, modern story and modern casting at it’s best.  For whatever reason, Universal decided in 2014 it was time (already, wth) to redo the […]

SYFY is showing ALL of Ronald D. Moore’s reimagined Battlestar Galactica starting on Friday September 22nd 8pm EST. The cable network is celebrating their 25th birthday this year, and this is a nice nod to fans of the series who used to have “Frak Friday” parties when the show was first on the air.  If you never […]

Moore’s reimagined Battlestar Galactica jumped into the scene via SyFy network (back when it was still Sci-Fi), and its lasting reverberations can still be felt across the universe today. The show, at its core, […]
