Glen Larson Holds the Key to BSG's Future
Written by Chris McKeown
Tuesday, 12 June 2007
Glen A. Larson, the original creator of the 1970's series Battlestar Galactica, has won his battle with Universal over intellectual property rights to the BSG franchise. Now, it's up to him to decide if the series has a future on the big screen, or even with direct-to-DVD films. Larson has retained all motion picture rights to both the franchise and the name, and it's unclear if he intends to allow the Edward James Olmos & crew version to rent those rights or not... Larson has, however, expressed an interest in revitalizing the original series with a theatrical-release movie picking up where the original story left off.
He's never claimed to be a fan of the new series, but, we're hoping he'll change his tune if executive producer David Eick goes through with his plan to "extend the olive branch." (Might I recommend a particularly GREEN olive branch???) Meanwhile, SciFi Channel will air the BSG telemovie Razor this November, days before the DVD release, as this set-up is somehow allowed under the terms of the Universal/Larson decision.
