Bryan Singer will direct and produce a film version of the TV series Battlestar Galactica, reports say.

Trade magazine Variety claims he has signed up to make the science fiction movie, despite unconfirmed reports that he was linked to another X-Men film.

Battlestar Galactica started as a TV mini series in the US in 1978 and the pilot was subsequently shown in UK cinemas.

It was revived in 2003 in a new version starring Edward James Olmos.

Only a brief feature but, it’s nice to look at the new bridge set.

Just a few news updates i feel worth posting.

The cartoon Family Guy will apparently have an episode on the 29th of March with a plot containing the ENTIRE cast of The Next Generation.

In the episode titled “Not All Dogs Go to Heaven,” the “Next Gen” crew (Patrick Stewart, Levar Burton, Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, Wil Wheaton, Denise Crosby, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes) will provide guest voices as the Griffin family heads to the annual Quahog “Trek” convention.

“Stewie blows a fuse when he doesn’t get a chance to ask his favorite ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ cast members any questions,” reads the logline. “He devises a plan, builds a transporter and beams the entire cast to his bedroom so they can spend a fun-filled day together in Quahog

It is with great sadness that we report Don S. Davis who we knew as General Hammond for several years of Stargate SG-1 passed away on June 29th.

This message taken from his Representetive and his wife Ruby Fleming-Davis.

Dear Fans and Friends of Don S. Davis,

So many of you have been touched by not only the work and art of Don S. Davis, but by the man himself, who always took the time to be with you at the appearances he loved, that it is with a tremendous sense of loss I must share with you that Don passed away from a massive heart attack on Sunday morning, June 29th.

On behalf of his family and wife, Ruby, we thank you for your prayers and condolences. A family memorial where Don’s ashes will be scattered in the ocean will take place in a few weeks, and should you wish to, please make a donation to the American Heart Association in Don’s memory.

Ed: Don S. Davis was one of the first actors I met whom I had looked up to in a sci-fi show.  He was a delightful good-natured gentleman who enjoyed meeting the fans.  You will be truly missed, Don.  – Chris
