The movie is slated for 2011 and that's a fast-track schedule for any sci-fi epic. Meantime, if this takes a typical development track, there won't be much news about any aspects of the film until its actually getting ready to film or hit post-production.
I'm proposing some things, just to keep our interest and discussion started. All the writers despairing about BSG returning to her roots or being remade gets a little annoying. It's quite possibly the best opportunity that the original has to shine since the fall of 2001.
For the sake of this thread: Assume the reimagining is to return to the original pilot (what we usually call a remake) and tell it even better, possibly dropping the Carillon subplot.
SO: Based on the original characters, suggest your fantasy cast members. There are no right or wrong answers: only a huge pool of possibilities. You can make many suggestions for the same role, if you wish.
I'm stealing my first idea from someone at TOK: Hugh Laurie as Baltar. I think he'd have a blast with the part.
