Bryan Singer’s ‘Battlestar’ Movie To Be Written by John Orloff. This Is Happening, I Hate Everything.

Bryan Singer’s fucking Battlestar movie is really really  coming, and it’s giving me an anxiety attack that I can’t really corral. It isn’t so much that BSG is getting redone, it’s that frankly fuck Singer and this Orloff guy I don’t care if he wrote Band of Brothers. I don’t care that I just shit all over syntax.

Slashfilm:

“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna frak it up.” That’s what screenwriter John Orloff told theLos Angeles Times when it was announced that he’d been hired to write a newBattlestar Galactica movie for Universal and director Bryan Singer. Orloff wroteAnonymous, which is about to hit theaters; he also scripted Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole and A Mighty Heart. He was Emmy-nominated for his work on the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers. Like Singer, he’s a long time Battlestar Galactica fan and has what he calls “a pretty radical take” on the material. We’ve got more after the jump.

Deadline first broke the news of Orloff’s deal and he told them the following:

I have wanted to write this movie since I was 12 years old, and built a Galactica model from scratch out of balsa wood, cardboard, old model parts and LEDs. I love BSG, and I would pass on the job rather than frak it up..

Balls-bung-fuck. I’ve gotten through the Prequels. I’ve gotten through the Matrix sequels. I’ve gotten through Spider-Man 3. Lord give me strength this one more time.
