It’s been a while since we’ve heard about the planned Battlestar Galactica movie being developed over at Universal Pictures. Bryan Singer was attached to direct at one point, and A Mighty Heart screenwriter John Orloff was working on the script.

Things were quiet for a while after that, but with word that a new writer has been hired to work on the screenplay new life has been breathed into the project. Universal has tapped Transcendence writer Jack Paglen to work on the script.
