Default Re: Battlestar Galactica to the Big Screen?

Other interpretations
1. Comcast announced this week that they were finalizing the purchase of the last 49% of NBC-U from GE. Both Comcast and GE stock went up after the announcement (that bodes well for what investors think of the new owners)

2. Some of this might still be from Universal's lack of funds and good ROI on a lot of their recent year's movies.

3. Jack the Giant Slayer is a Hollywood machine response to the 2 recent Snow White movies, Grimm and Once Upon a Time.

4. X-men is a sure bet with Singer having a hand in it. (3 good returns on his 3 prior flicks). Success builds cred., Cred builds bigger budgets and more creative freedom.

5. If they wait long enough, the rights will be with Glen's heirs and Glen will be out of the picture. This could give the creative team more latitude, good, bad or indifferent.

Just some thoughts. Not holding my breath.
