Universal in talks for 'Battlestar' movie


February 20, 2009 Just as the acclaimed Sci Fi Channel series "Battlestar Galactica" enters its final episodes, Universal has quietly entered into negotiations with Glen A. Larson to write and produce a big-screen version of the property he created. "Battlestar," which originally aired on ABC in 1978, was produced in the wake of the success of "Star Wars," which caused a sci-fi revival in popular culture. The survivors are led by a starship called Galactica in their attempt to find a mythic 13th planet named Earth.
