With Bryan Singer’s Excalibur remake now dead, he’s looking towards another property to remake, Battlestar Galactica. Deadline is now reporting that John Orloff has closed a deal to pen the script for Singer’s remake. The film is something Singer has wanted to direct for a long time, and let’s hope it turns out great. The film will be based off the original 1978 series, but nothing else is known about it just yet.
