Hoy me he entretenido un rato en CinemaBlend...
Esto se sabía más o menos desde hace tiempo. El creador de la serie original (Glen A. Larson), está muy descontento con el remake de su serie. El problema es que él tiene los derechos cinematogáficos de la franquicia, con lo que es harto difícil que veamos una película en pantalla grande basada en el remake.

"It seems Larson owns the movie rights to BSG, and since he hates the current show and has long fantasized about making his own BSG movie, he’s not likely to let them make one based on the current Sci-Fi channel show. Nobody’s saying it won’t happen, it just isn’t very likely as long Glen Larson is in the way, and it doesn’t sound like he’s inclined to move over. "
A principios de este año, Universal parece que se decidió a explotar la saga en pantalla grande, e hizo lo único que podía: encargó a Larson el proyecto, que se encarga de escribir y producir

Universal Pictures is working on a Battlestar movie. Except they aren’t using the version you saw on TV as the film’s basis. Nope, instead they’ve hired Glen Larson, the guy responsible for the original, extremely cheesy 80s version to make the film.
Larson has had very little to do with the new, much more popular version of his show. In fact he’s been just about the only vocal opponent to it. Unfortunately, Larson owns the movie rights to the franchise and for years now he’s been the road block standing in the way of getting a movie done. This news makes it seem that since he refused to budge, Universal threw up its hands and gave him what he wants since he, not the guy in charge of the current BSG incarnation Ron Moore, is writing and producing the new movie version.
Actualmente, parece que el proyecto sigue adelante, y la fecha prevista es el 2011.
