Bryan Singer to Direct "Battlestar Galactica" Film.

Bryan Singer, the director of "X-Men", "X2", and "The Usual Suspects", has just agreed to direct a movie version of the TV show, "Battlestar Glactica", for Universal Studios. While I am a big fan of the first two X-Men pictures, I have to say that "The Usual Suspects" is one of my favorite movies of all time so I am without a doubt excited for this. And to comfort Battlestar fans, below is a quote from Singer:

The lesson I learned on X-Men is to have a healthy respect for the fan base of sci-fi fantasy franchises, and I'm confident that the 'Galactica' brand is a sleeping giant. It was a show I watched during its initial run, from the pilot to the final episode. The essence and the brand name is quite potent in a climate where there's a great deficit of sci-fi programming.
