As reported recently, former STAR TREK writer/producer Ronald D. Moore has been selected by the Sci-Fi Channel to write an upcoming revival of the '70s television series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA as a four-hour miniseries for the cable network. Moore spoke to Zap2it yesterday about plans for the project, revealing that it will also serve as a pilot for a possible series.
"I was a fan as a kid," he says. "I was right there in the '70s, watching along with everybody else. I remember everybody was talking about it."
Rather than a sequel to the original story, Moore's scripts will be a sort of "re-imagining."
"I'm going to go back and retell the origin story, and that will form the basis of the miniseries. There will certainly be changes. I'm trying to just take a different approach to the material. I want to keep the underlying myth of the show, which is what makes people remember it, and update a lot of it."
"In the broadest strokes, I don't want to do 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' all over again. There's a certain style of filmmaking associated with those shows, which is a very romantic, glossy approach to science fiction, with big, lush, orchestral scores, etc."
He goes on to say the core of the mini-series will be character interaction, not planet-of-the-week science fiction.
"It's going to be -- and this is a bad phrase -- a 'down to Earth' sort of place. It's going to be more about the people aboard the Galactica and the ragtag, fugitive fleet than it will be about aliens of the week, planets of the week or anything like that."
In other sci-fi news, UPN has announced the hiring of actor/director Forest Whitaker for the new TWILIGHT ZONE remake. Whitaker, who directed HOPE FLOATS and WAITING TO EXHALE, will fill Rod Serling's role from the original series, introducing and closing each episode's vignette. Whitaker can be seen currently in PANIC ROOM.
