Battlestar Galactica movie is coming soon.
Hollywood producer Michael De Luca is teaming up with Scott Stuber and Dylan Clark of Bluegrass Films to produce the movie for Universal, which is hoping launch a massive franchise.
Galacticia was a short-lived TV series that gained a major cult following. The series aired on ABC from 1978 to 1979.
The show was rebooted from the post 9/11 world in 2004 as a politically charged series that ran for five years on SyFy.
As the show was coming to an end, Universal began developing the property as a movie, hiring X-Men’s Bryan Singer to direct it with several screenwriters attached. However, the movie never took off until now.
The premise of the show centered around human civilization on distant planets being wiped out by machines known as Cylons. The survivors were able to escape on starships, and travel to Earth.
De Luca is one of the producers of the Fifty Shades of Grey movies and worked on the 2014 monster movie Dracula Untold.
In addition, Stuber’s Bluegrass Films just finished working on Ted 2 and is currently developing a Boston Marathon movie starring Mark Wahlberg.
