BLOG Singer to direct Battlestar

It was recently confirmed by Universal (here's Entertainment Weekly's post on the subject and here's Variety's slightly more comprehensive take ) that Bryan "Superman Returns" Singer is working on a complete reboot of Battlestar Galactica for the big screen. Blogger Steven Gaythorpe asks the question that fans are now puzzling over:

Singer To Direct Battlestar? Bryan Singer, the genius who made the superb X-Men and X2, the rather poor Superman Returns, and the stunning The Usual Suspects is to direct a new Battlestar Galactica movie.

This is a personal thought by Steven Gaythorpe, a blogger . What do you think about this news? Have you been talking about it over on the dedicated forum thread ?

Of course, there was also the baffling gossip that Bryan Singer recently had talks with Justin Timberlake - surely not for a role in Battlestar?! Can't beat a good bit of random gossip, there'll probably be loads more between now and the final film. Let the casting suggestions begin!
