Creator Glen A. Larson entered negotiations with Universal Pictures for a film adaptation of the 1978 series in February 2009.[1] Bryan Singer signed on to direct the reboot the following August, but was obligated to direct Jack the Giant Killer.[2] In October 2011 John Orloff was hired to write the script. “I have wanted to write this movie since I was 12 years old, and built a Galactica model from scratch out of balsa wood, cardboard, old model parts and LEDs,” Orloff told Deadline.com. “I love BSG, and I would pass on the job rather than frak it up.”[3] By August 2012 the script was being rewritten, with Singer explaining that "It will exist, I think, quite well between the Glen Larson and Ron Moore universes".[4]
