Bryan Singer at work on yet another GALACTICA?

Hitfix is reporting that X-Men director Bryan Singer is close to signing to direct a big screen version of Battlestar Galactica. This version apparently wouldn't be a sequel to the original TV series or the Ronald D. Moore series that recently ended its run on SyFy. No, this would probably be Singer expanding on ideas he had for the TV version of Galactica that he was planning back in 2001, the one he abandoned after the attacks on the World Trade Center caused network execs to have seconds thoughts about Galactica's apocalyptic storyline.

If you're wondering why the studio is going ahead with a Galactica reboot when the corpse of Moore's series hasn't even gotten cold yet, hang on to your frakkin' hat, because things are even more confusing than that. Earlier this year, it was announced that original Galactica producer Glen Larson was at work on another movie remake, one that also wouldn't be tied to the '70s series!

So... We have the original series (and its spinoff, Galactica: 1980,) Ron Moore's TV remake (and its upcoming spinoff, Caprica,) and the two planned remakes by Larson and Singer. Sweet lords of Kobol, that's a lot of Galactica. What's next? Battlestar Galactica: SVU? Battlestar Galactica: The College Years? Battlestar Galactica Babies?
